A few months ago I sold a property in Wales.

There were several in my area all similar in style and priced at very closely.

I went into an agent with the most properties in my street and offered him 1,000 pound bonus if he sold my house first. They put it at the top end of their price scale and I had viewings almost every day for a week before it sold. Most of the others are still for sale now.

The moral of the story is to incentivise your agent, they usually charge between 1.5% to 2%. I had made over 125k profit on the house in 6 years, but I needed it sold quickly.

I would look for the agent with the most boards in your street and apprach him. That way the buyer will see choice, but the agent will lean towards your property because he will get a nice bonus. You will also find the agent canīt do enough to help, a bit like tipping the waiter when you arrive rather then when you leave the restaurant.
