No-Fee Estate Agents

No fee estate agents are those that charge no commission fees or listings fees to sell property over the internet. In our view, such websites are destined to fail, because they can never generate enough traffic to support the kind of advertising revenue that would be required to support them.

We believe that the future belongs not to no fee estate agents but to low fee estate agents. Low fee, full service, online estate agents such as BrightSale offer a service which is significantly cheaper than traditional estate agents because the costly and increasingly redundant branch network has been removed. Instead, full service online estate agents offer fully trained negotiators who are there to help vendors get the most of their sale. This does not just mean the best, fair, price, but also removing stress from the equation by facilitating a better information flow regarding the sale process.

No fee estate agents cannot provide a worthwhile service. Only lower cost online estate agents such as BrightSale combine the best of the traditional high street estate agency model with the power of the internet.
