Choosing the right estate agent can make or break your property sale. Whether you’re moving within Wiltshire, upsizing, downsizing, or relocating entirely – a knowledgeable, proactive agent will make the process smoother and help you achieve the best price.
At Martin & Co Westbury, we know that no two moves are the same. Here’s how to choose the right estate agent in Westbury or Warminster – and why it pays to go local.
1. Check their local experience
An agent who knows the local streets, schools, and buyer types is worth their weight in gold. Can they tell you the difference in buyer demand between Westbury Leigh and Warminster town centre? Do they understand rural versus commuter appeal?
At Martin & Co Westbury, we live and breathe the local property market. We use real-world experience – not guesswork – to guide your pricing and marketing.
2. Ask how they’ll market your home
It’s no longer enough to just list your home on a few websites. The right agent will actively market it – across portals, social media, email campaigns, and more.
We combine professional photography with targeted marketing to make sure your property reaches the right people at the right time. We’ll also advise on timing and presentation to maximise impact.
3. Compare service levels – not just fees
Estate agency fees can vary, but so can the level of service. Ask what’s included:
- Are viewings accompanied?
- Is there a dedicated sales progressor?
- Will they chase solicitors and keep the chain moving?
With Martin & Co, our full-service approach means we stay hands-on – from valuation to completion.
4. Read reviews and testimonials
Online reviews are a great way to gauge how an agent treats their clients. Are they responsive? Proactive? Honest?

5. Look for transparency and advice
A good agent won’t just tell you what you want to hear – they’ll give you honest, data-driven advice. That includes realistic valuations, tips on preparing your property, and clear updates at every stage.
We never overvalue to win business – we provide evidence-based pricing and help you get your home sold efficiently.
6. Ask about sales progression support
The time between offer and completion is where many sales fall apart. Make sure your agent actively manages the chain and communicates with all parties.
At Martin & Co Westbury, we provide full in-house sales progression to keep your sale on track – and you are fully informed.
