Estate agents say that they can make the sale easier by reducing some of the workload, however this is often not the case and their service comes at a heavy price, in fact many thousands of pounds.

To be honest, we think very little. The estate agents primary job is to advertise your house, and attract buyers. This is what Properties2Go do! The biggest difference is the price. A traditional or local estate agent will charge a percentage to sell your house, typically 1-2%.

NO - The cost is the same whether through an authorized distributor or direct. What is not, is the SERVICE and extra special attention you receive from your distributor during this critical time.

What they fail to mention is that they simply keep the profits, most used for service to run expensive 'buy direct' ad campaigns.
