The essential role of after-sales support when selling property: A Seller’s Guide 

Selling a home can be a daunting task and homeowners have to navigate the complexities of the property market and the act of changing home-ownership. It is the role of your estate agent to make this happen, but how successful your house sale is, and how smoothly the process runs, is very much dependent on the skills and proactivity of  your chosen estate agent.

As a local estate agent in Salford, Eccles, Swinton and Greater Manchester, at Hills, we understand the challenges homeowners face when selling their properties. That’s why we have a dedicated after-sales team, also known as our Sales Progression team, to support sellers throughout the entire transaction process. 

In this blog, we’ll delve into why having an after-sales team is crucial for ensuring a smooth and efficient sale, and how our approach sets us apart from other agents.

The importance of after-sales support

Once a homeowner accepts an offer on their property, the real work begins. From navigating legalities to coordinating with various parties involved in the transaction, the process can quickly become overwhelming. This is where a Sales Progression team steps in to provide invaluable support. They are dedicated to overseeing your property sale from offer to completion. This is their sole focus, no distractions. 

Swift completion

One of the primary advantages of having a dedicated Sales Progression team is the ability to expedite the transaction process. With a team in place, sales can move swiftly towards completion. By proactively identifying and addressing potential delays or hiccups, dedicated after-sales agents can proactively find solutions to make sure your property sale does not get ‘stuck’, but instead proceed efficiently and effectively. 

Proactive problem-solving

Delays and complications can arise at any stage of the property sales process, often catching sellers off guard. However, with an after-sales team, potential issues are spotted early and more likely be dealt with promptly and professionally. Whether it’s resolving legal issues, coordinating with solicitors, or communicating with all parties involved, an after-sale team member is proactive in problem-solving to keep the transaction on track.

Effective communication

Effective communication is key to a successful property transaction. A Sales Progression team ensures that all parties involved, including buyers, sellers, solicitors, surveyors, mortgage brokers and estate agents, are regularly updated and informed throughout the process. This transparent communication fosters trust and confidence, reducing the likelihood of misunderstandings or disputes.

Accelerating transactions

We understand the importance of speed when it comes to property transactions.

By setting strict goals and milestones, such as ensuring surveys and contracts are completed within 10 working days, we strive to achieve swift and efficient transactions for our clients. This focus and targeting often helps us deliver quicker, more efficient house sales for our customers. 

Minimising delays

While some delays may be beyond our control, such as those related to conveyancing and the legal aspects of selling a home, we take proactive measures to minimise their impact. By keeping communication channels open and facilitating collaboration between all parties involved, we mitigate potential delays and ensure that the transaction progresses smoothly. We have excellent relationships with tried and trusted solicitors but can also work with a seller’s choice of legal firms. 

Empowering sellers

Our Sales Progression team not only facilitates the transaction process but also empowers sellers with valuable guidance and advice. By building a solid relationship with our sellers and continuously sharing updates and information, our sellers gain a better understanding of the process and feel fully educated around their property sale. This can be empowering for our sellers especially when dealing with something as large-scale as your property sale. We equip sellers with the knowledge and resources they need to expedite the aspects of the process that rests with them. This also helps to achieve a successful sale.
