How to choose the right estate agent in Worksop

If you’re thinking of selling your home in Worksop, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing the right estate agent. From setting the right asking price to marketing your property and negotiating offers – your estate agent plays a key role in getting your move off to a strong start.

At Martin & Co Worksop, we understand the local market, the people, and what really matters when selling a home in this part of Nottinghamshire. Here’s what to consider before choosing an estate agent – and why it pays to go local.

 

1. Look for deep local knowledge

A national brand is one thing – but what matters most is local insight. Does your agent know how prices differ between areas like Gateford, Kilton, and Manton? Can they tell you what buyers are looking for near the town centre, versus the outskirts?

We live and breathe Worksop. That means we know how to position your property to attract serious buyers – and how to price it accurately for the current market.

 

2. Ask how your property will be marketed

A good agent doesn’t just list your property. They market it strategically – online and offline – with high-quality photos, engaging descriptions, and targeted promotion.

At Martin & Co Worksop, your home is featured on all the major portals, but we also use social media, email marketing, and buyer matching tools to give you an edge. Professional photography is standard, not an extra.

 

3. Compare fees – but understand what’s included

Estate agent fees in Worksop typically range from 1% to 1.5% (plus VAT), but price alone doesn’t tell the full story. What you want is value – the right blend of service, support, and results.

Some agents offer low upfront fees, but you may end up doing more of the legwork. Others charge more but include staging advice, accompanied viewings, or dedicated sales progression. Always ask what’s included before you decide.

 

4. Read reviews and ask for recommendations

Client reviews can reveal a lot about how an agent actually operates. Do they return calls? Do they negotiate strongly? Are they friendly and helpful, or pushy and vague?

We’re proud of the service we deliver at Martin & Co Worksop. And we’ve got the five-star reviews to prove it.

5. Check if they offer sales progression

Getting an offer is just the start. Keeping a sale on track through surveys, legal work, and chain management is where a great estate agent really proves their worth.

We offer full sales progression – keeping all parties informed and solving problems quickly – so you’re not left chasing solicitors or wondering what’s happening.

6. Choose an agent who listens

The best agents aren’t just experts – they’re great listeners. They take time to understand your goals, whether you’re upsizing, relocating, or selling a rental.

At Martin & Co Worksop, we don’t use pushy sales tactics or scripted valuations. We’ll give you honest advice and a clear plan to help you move forward with confidence.
