What to talk to your estate agent about?

03 September, 2025

1. Performance Reports

Ask your agent for a Rightmove performance report. This shows how many people are viewing your listing compared with similar homes in the area. If your property isn’t attracting enough clicks, it may be time to adjust the photos, refresh the text, or look at other marketing options.

2. Feature and Premium Listings

Check whether your property has recently had a Feature Listing or a Premium Listing. These upgrades give your property more visibility online. If it has been a while, ask whether adding one now could help boost attention, especially if viewings have slowed down.

3. Photos and Presentation

Photos are often the first thing buyers see. Review the current order and quality with your agent. Sometimes simply changing the lead image or updating the sequence can refresh interest. If the photos are looking tired, a reshoot might be worth considering.

4. Advert Text

Work with your agent to update the description based on recent viewer feedback and market changes. Highlight the features buyers are responding to most. Keeping the text fresh helps the listing feel active and relevant.

“A property listing is never a ‘set and forget’ exercise. Market conditions shift, and so do buyer expectations. That’s why we encourage vendors to have timely conversations with their agent about pricing, photos and marketing activity. Small adjustments can lead to big results.”
 – Tom, Partner at Get An Offer

5. Pricing

If the number of enquiries or viewings has dropped, it may be time for a price review. Ask your agent to compare your property with others currently for sale nearby. Overpricing can hold a sale back, while a realistic price can unlock new interest.

6. Viewing Feedback

Review feedback from recent viewings. Are there recurring comments about layout, price, or presentation? Your agent should share these with you so you can make informed decisions on whether to adjust the marketing strategy.

7. Marketing Channels

Check that your property is appearing on all the major portals such as Rightmove, Zoopla, and your agent’s own website. Social media can also be an important channel. A quick audit ensures your home is reaching the widest audience possible.

8. Comparables

Ask your agent to show you similar homes currently on the market. This will give you a clear picture of how your property stacks up on price, photos, and features. It’s a good way to see if changes are needed.

9. Vendor Expectations

Life circumstances can change. During regular reviews, check whether your own expectations still align with what the market is saying. If you need a quicker sale, you may want to adjust your strategy.

10. Progression If Under Offer

If your home is already under offer but the sale seems to be stalling, ask your agent what can be done to move things along. They should be in touch with all parties in the chain and ready to advise on next steps.

When to Have These Conversations

These reviews should happen regularly throughout the selling process, not just at the beginning. Most agents schedule a review when performance dips, but as a seller, you should feel comfortable asking for one at any stage if you’re unsure.

Selling a property works best when there is clear communication between you and your estate agent. By discussing the right things at the right time, you can keep your listing fresh, realistic, and attractive to buyers.
