Selling or letting your home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make. The right estate agent can make the process smooth, stress-free, and rewarding – but the wrong choice could cost you time, money, and peace of mind.
So how do you pick the right estate agent in Taunton, with so many options available? Here’s what to look for.
Local knowledge matters
Taunton’s property market is unique. From Victorian terraces in Galmington to modern homes near Norton Fitzwarren, and family-friendly estates in Comeytrowe, every area attracts a different kind of buyer or tenant.
A good estate agent should know:
- What homes in your area are selling or renting for
- What local buyers and tenants are looking for right now
- How to highlight the lifestyle benefits of Taunton – from schools and parks to transport links
At Northwood Taunton, we live and work here. That means you get advice rooted in real local insight, not guesswork.
Check their track record
Look beyond the sales pitch. Ask:
- How many homes have they sold or let in Taunton recently?
- What’s their average time to secure a buyer or tenant?
- Do they achieve the asking price – or close to it – consistently?
An experienced agent should be able to share these figures openly. Transparency is key.
Marketing makes a difference
It’s not enough to just put your home online and wait. The best agents invest in professional marketing that gets your property noticed. That includes:
- High-quality photography
- Eye-catching listings on the main portals
- Targeted social media promotion
- A database of qualified buyers and tenants ready to view
In a competitive market like Taunton, presentation and reach really matter.
Communication is everything
Moving home is stressful enough – you don’t want to be left in the dark. Ask potential agents how they’ll keep you updated.
At Northwood, we believe in straightforward, no-nonsense communication. You’ll know exactly what’s happening at every stage, with real people on the end of the phone when you need them.
