Will vendors pay for additional property marketing?

July 15, 2014
Property for sale

Over the past year I have spoken to a number of Estate Agents who tell me that vendors will not pay any upfront costs to market their property. More recently however, I have spoken to others who believe if the property hasn’t sold within an 8 week period, this is the time to have another discussion.

The options are traditional marketing offerings such as on the page ads in lifestyle magazines and national newspapers as well as digital marketing solutions. The benefit of online advertising is that it is available 24/7 x 365 and is a pre-qualification tool, savings agents time and money.

So if the Estate Agent can offset the cost to their client, can use the output for their own marketing, is it time to consider additional options and give the vendors more choice?

Here’s a property for sale in Cornwall using a high quality, low cost solution.
