How Tech-Savvy Homeowners Sell Houses Quick Without Using an Estate Agent

GATESHEAD, England, September 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

A recent newspaper article has stated that current figures show that the UK property market is 'starved' of fresh listings on the open market; suggesting that the demand to purchase property is ever increasing, whilst the number of sellers has fallen dramatically over the past few months.

According to RICS (Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors), the average estate agent branch has only 47 properties for sale at any one time. RICS also stated in the same article that "the 'worrying' decline in supply had pushed prices up and was leaving buyers exasperated."

However, one business owner is seeing an increase in property sellers with his latest online venture.

Sellers Meet Buyers launched to the public just 3 months ago, and has already seen a steady number of homeowners advertising their property for sale freely, by themselves. Spokesman for the company David Sessford had this to say about the service:-

"SellersMeetBuyers.co.uk was set up as a platform for homeowners to freely list their property for sale. They don't pay huge estate agents fees, and they can directly communicate with interested buyers on the website. This completely cuts out the need for an estate agent."

David went on to say "In the United States of America, selling your property FSBO (for sale by owner) is the norm. UK home owners are starting to catch on, and we firmly believe this is the future of the property industry."

David also owns and manages another website http://www.topcashoffer.co.uk, which is aimed at homeowners looking to sell for cash, and keener for a quicker sale.

How Savvy Homeowners Use The Internet To Their Advantage 

The internet has transformed many industries, including the estate agent industry in the UK. Many estate agents are now 'online' agents, which saves home owners a considerable amount in selling fees.

As a general rule, online estate agents charge a flat fee to sell, as opposed to the traditional way estate agents operate on a percentage basis.

It is estimated that more than 1000 properties are added to online agent's websites every week, and with a growing number of competing websites, industry experts are predicting the demise of the traditional estate agent model.

David Sessford of TopCashOffer.co.uk had this to say on the matter, "website's that offer a quick estate agency service are saving homeowners thousands of pounds in selling fees. It is only a matter of time before home sellers realise that they don't need a traditional estate agent to sell their home. With websites like Sellers Meet Buyers and low cost online estate agency models homeowners are just a few clicks away from agreeing a sale of their property."

A Turn Of Events Ahead For The UK Property Market? 

According to a recent article in the Express, the current boom in UK property prices is imminent for a fall. According to some experts, this could lead to a number of homeowners looking to sell their property quickly to get the best possible prices.

This could be good news for agents, and cash property buyers alike.
