For many of us, the amount of money we spend acquiring a home is probably our biggest investment ever, and while some people might easily do this, many need some hand holding.

When we sell a home, it is only natural that we want to ensure we are getting the making investment was, in fact, the right one.

Here, our writer Bonny Fourie outlines the necessity of having a good and experienced estate agent at your side during the sale of your house.

There are many wise, kind and helpful estate agents out there who will be with you every step of the way, from helping puta realistic price tag on your home to ensuring that you get the best deal with the right buyer.

An estate agent is paid to be there for you and any nervousness should be eased by their ability to answer questions and allay anxieties.

There are a few digital platforms that allow you to sell without the help of an estate agent. And some sellers prefer todo it themselves. These options work for some, but others might want to pay the estate agent’s fees to ensure they have peace of mind in such a big deal.

Whichever route you take, we wish you a successful sale.
