There can be several benefits to using an estate agent with a sales progression team in-house. Here are some of the advantages:
- Expertise and Experience: An in-house sales progression team typically consists of professionals who specialise in managing property sales from offer acceptance to completion. They have extensive knowledge and experience in dealing with the intricacies of the sales process, including legal requirements, negotiations, and potential pitfalls. Their expertise can help ensure a smoother and more efficient transaction.
- Effective Communication: One of the key roles of a sales progression team is to maintain effective communication between all parties involved in the transaction. This includes buyers, sellers, solicitors, mortgage brokers, surveyors, and other stakeholders. Having an in-house team dedicated to this task can streamline communication, reduce delays, and resolve any issues promptly.
- Timely Problem Resolution: Property transactions can encounter various challenges or obstacles along the way, such as legal complications, property surveys, or issues with mortgage applications. With a dedicated sales progression team, these problems can be identified and addressed proactively, minimising the impact on the sale and helping to find solutions in a timely manner.
- Higher Completion Rates: An in-house sales progression team can focus on driving the sale towards completion. They are responsible for actively managing the transaction, keeping all parties engaged, and ensuring that the necessary steps are taken to move the sale forward. This can increase the likelihood of a successful completion and reduce the risk of the sale falling through.
- Time and Stress Savings: By using an estate agent with an in-house sales progression team, you can save time and reduce the stress associated with managing the sales process yourself. The team will handle many of the administrative tasks, provide updates on progress, and deal with any complications, allowing you to focus on other important matters.
It's important to note that not all estate agents offer in-house sales progression teams, so it's worth considering this factor when choosing an agent.
