Questions to ask about your estate agent
Moving home isn’t something you do very often, so it’s useful to
have a good idea of what you expect of an estate agent. Your
home is probably your most valuable asset so when you decide to
sell it’s vital to instruct an estate agent you trust. More people trust
Jones Robinson to sell their property than any other estate agent
in West Berkshire and North Hampshire.
You may wish to consider the following questions:
■■ What is their local reputation and how
long have they been in business?
■■ Do they appear to be able to objectively
value a property accurately?
■■ What is their market share in your area?
■■ What is their customer feedback and does
it validate their service claims?
■■ Look at their ‘fall-out’ rate – how many of
their property sales failed to complete?
■■ How do they market your property to the
appropriate buyers?

■■ Do they have any professional
accreditations?
■■ How long have their staff been with them?

Buying in detail
From first-time buyers and downsizers to
growing families and investors, everybody
looking to move home has to start their
search somewhere. A local estate agent
should be your first port of call as they will
have excellent local knowledge and strong
relationships with local sellers.
As the leading estate agent in West
Berkshire and North Hampshire, Jones
Robinson should be top of your list. But
why is it important to you as a buyer that
we are the leading local estate agent?
It means vendors choose us to sell their
home, and the more homes we have for sale
on our books means a greater choice for
you. We also understand that every property

in helping every type of buyer, from a
property novice to a seasoned investor.
By registering with us you will be first to
hear about new homes that come up for

the thousands of people scanning property
portals. Every buyer who registers with
us is taken seriously and we will carefully
document your requirements in order to

Registering with us also saves you time
as we’ll do the searching for you. Visit the
