An estate agency’s terms should be explained clearly before starting. Beyond the fee, it is important to understand what the proposal includes and what commitments the team assumes during the sale.

Ask for clarity in writing

Ask how the remuneration is structured, which services are included, when it is earned and what conditions apply to each party.

A transparent explanation prevents comparing proposals that seem identical but offer very different levels of preparation, exposure or follow-up.

Value is assessed during the process

The difference is not just in listing a property, but in managing interest, answering questions, screening viewings and supporting negotiations.

Choose a proposal that can explain how it will defend your position and how it will keep you informed at each stage.
