How much does it cost to sell your home?

Grupo Marcos Marco, in line with other estate agents in the region typically applies a 5% commission to all property sales.

There are certain circumstances where we can reduce our rate and we are therefore happy to negotiate and discuss this with vendors on an individual basis.

Should I trust my estate agent when they suggest I reduce the asking price?

There are many factors to consider when a homeowner decides to sell their property. Our role is to ensure that each has been fully discussed and that once valued, the property receives the highest levels of exposure across all our in-house social media and the major online portals.

As to whether you should trust us if we suggest a price reduction, our answer is a definitive “yes” because we will only do so as a last resort and full agreement and certainly not before all other avenues have been explored.

What we will not do under any circumstances is pressure our clients into reducing the asking price against their wishes.

Comparisons – Who is best for me, High Street Estate Agents or Online Portals?

If you wish to sell your home which of the available options are best for you? A high street agent like Grupo Marcos Marco offers a complete marketing package as standard, along with a single point of contact and continuing support throughout the whole selling process - from valuation to completion.

An online estate agent, on the other hand, offers a pared-back approach, giving you much more control. A standard package includes a valuation and an advert on major online property portals.

The rest of the work, such as hosting viewings and fielding offers, is up to you! Hosted viewings, professional photos and sales progression are available as add-ons.

When making your decision therefore we would urge you to consider the following pros and cons
