Traditional Verses Online Estate Agents and How Boardwalk Has the Best of Both Worlds

There is quite a lively debate raging within the property world regarding the merits of traditional high street agencies versus internet based estate agents. Below we have outlined some of the major differences, myths of online agents and how at  Boardwalk we sit in the middle giving you the best of both worlds, traditional and online based service. We provide you with low cost fees and a friendly professional service.

Online agents are cheap but charge up front costs. It is true opting for an online agent rather than a high street one could save the average homeowner over £3,000 in estate agency costs however one of the main arguments in favour of using a local agent is they charge nothing upfront. Therefore if you don’t secure a buyer or decide to withdraw your property from the market, you are not left out of pocket. However at Boardwalk we have competitive low fees like those of online agents but you still benefit from the service of traditional agents and don’t have to pay anything up front.

You have to conduct your own viewings with online agents. In most cases, yes with online agents they arrange viewings on your behalf but the seller must conduct viewings. In our busy working lives this can be a hard thing to manage and fit into your schedule. However at Boardwalk we aren’t one of those cases, we provide a service with both on site valuations and accompanied viewings so need to worry if you’re not around.

High street agents have more knowledge of the local area and properties.

The majority of online agents cover the whole of the UK and the downside of being national is no focus on a particular geographical area resulting in limited local knowledge and expertise. Typical high street agents tend to market and research properties specifically for the area their office is based. At Boardwalk we aren’t a national online agent but rather local and city focused estate agent. We have three offices and cover all of the Bristol area. Our property consultants also are well equipped to inform you on any local information from recommended schools and restaurants to trending house prices and market competition.

How will people find my property if I use an online agent? Like high street agents, online agents use Zoopla, Right move and other property portals to market  property. So while people won’t find your photo in a high street agents’ window as they go for a Sunday stroll, serious buyers will regularly check the portals. As the days of window shopping for property in an agent’s windows are fast fading with the majority of people looking to buy using the internet as their first point of call, more and more vendors are seeking agents that provide them with the best online coverage.

Research recently conducted by Halifax discovered that over the last five years, 62% of people who purchased property started their search using the internet. They predict that over the next five years, 80% of people looking to purchase property will begin their search online. Due to this increase and their very nature, the majority of internet agencies have comprehensive marketing coverage on various these property portals. Usually the advertising coverage given by an online agent will far exceed that to be expected on the high street and at Boardwalk we are no exception. We invest in extensive online coverage to reach the maximum number of potential buyers giving you best interest.

At Boardwalk we pride ourselves in offering the best of both worlds. We are an estate agents without the shopfront but with traditional service so you can pay less and still receive more.

Cheapest Estate Agents in Bristol by Price, but not Cheapest in Service

You heard right, you can be cheapest in price and still have the excellent, friendly service we all desire! We’ve all had that moment of regret when we chose the cheaper washing machine and it breaks a year down the road or the value own food meals and later our taste buds are wishing some more cash had been spent not spared.

10 years ago in a market where there was no easy way to check honesty and reliability you relied on, ‘Well I will just pay more and hopefully I’ll get a good service.’ But we’ve also all had those times when we chose that strategy and it certainly didn’t pay off. In the moment, ‘A car that costs £500 overpriced, that’s ok, it won’t breakdown anytime soon.’ 2 weeks later and it’s in the garage and you’re driving around a rather shocking turquoise courtesy car and sporting an even more shockingly empty wallet after all the repairs. Needless to say the thoughts of regret come flooding in on all the wonderful alternative items you could have bought with that £500! Your friend however picks this time to show you their bargain deal on the dream car in perfect working order! Or you paid for the pricey gym membership and can’t quite understand why they would employ the rudest receptionist.

The question is, is it true that paying more means you’re always going to get the best product and highest service, the answer, no. We all have the stories for both sides but with the wonders of google reviews and trip advisor it means it is so much easier to spot the good, bad and ugly. In one minute one unhappy customer and opinion can be made available to a whole host of potential customers. In our case at Boardwalk we proudly show all our reviews. You can pay less, even the cheapest and have the finest service you just have to do a little research.
