They say that moving home is one of the most stressful things you ever do, but it needn't be that way. The key is to eliminate as many things that cause stress as possible. For example, don't you just hate it when you get a call from an estate agent saying he has a customer with him, and would it be ok to pop round for a viewing? So then you have to roar around the house making everything look lovely. By selling your home privately you eliminate that kind of problem. You set your schedule, you decide who you're going to see and when. It's all on your terms. So if you know you're having a party on Friday night that will take all of Saturday to clean up, you'll know not to book any viewings on either day. There's no chance of any unexpected viewers turning up on your doorstep, and tripping over the discarded wine bottles and half-eaten packets of Kettle crisps

No one knows your home better than you. You know that your loft conversion is a great selling point, and that the fireplace you restored in the living room is immaculate and worth pointing out. You also know that the lino in the bathroom and the dated tiles in the kitchen need to be played down. A well maintained property with a fair selling price should sell itself, but there's no one better than you to talk up its strengths.

Also, because you pay the bills and know the area, you're the best person to answer any questions buyers may have. The more information you send them away with, the more informed and speedy their decision will be.

If you like to be in control, and don't like being told what to do, then selling privately with homesell is the way to go. Any decisions, from where to advertise, to when to have viewings are down to you and no one else. And if for some reason you decide that you'd like to take your property off the market for a time, well, that's your decision too. You're not obligated to any contract, and you'll never feel frustrated that your agent isn't doing enough for you, because you are your own agent.

If you employ the help of an agent then you will lose money, it's a certainty. When your home is sold they'll get a cut of your profits. And if you think about how much money they'll make just for showing a few people around your home and making some phone calls, did they really earn it? Advertising with homesell will help you hold on to your profits

It's not unheard of for an estate agent to inflate an asking price in order to get business. And sellers often go along with the inflated price in an effort to cover the inevitable commission. But then, because the asking price is too high the property sits on the market for months, as buyers are reluctant to part with that much money. And that time spent mouldering away on the agent's books is detrimental to the chances of selling at a good price.

So sell privately. You can ask for a fair price from the outset because you don't have to take commission into account, and you can watch your property get snapped up by an eager buyer who is willing to pay the sum you've asked for.

Advertising on the internet exposes your property to millions of potential buyers. By advertising with homesell you could, potentially, reach an international audience. Your advert in the estate agent's window could never do that. Advertising with homesell means your ad will be seen by people all over the country, and if you'd like to enhance your chances of attracting local buyers as well, then we can also put your ad into your local edition of Friday-Ad.

If a buyer makes an offer, they make it to you not to an agent. You can still take time to think about offers and accept or reject them, but the process is ultimately quicker because you're not going through a third party every time. Agreements between private sellers and buyers are often reached quickly and easily.

Because you meet potential buyers firsthand, you get instant feedback. You can tell whether they're interested or not, whether they're serious or just getting a feel for the market, and you'll find out what their timeframe and situation is. If the purchase of your next home is riding on the sale of your present one, then this kind of contact with your potential buyers is invaluable.

Selling your home may seem daunting but it isn't difficult. The hardest part is attracting a buyer, the rest is plain sailing. And as advertising with homesell is so quick and simple, finding a buyer should be quick and simple too.
