The expert stated: "Selecting the right estate agent is crucial for a speedy sale.
"Look for an agent who knows your local market inside out, understands what buyers in your area are looking for and has a proven track record of accurately valuing homes.
"When considering potential agents, it's worth keeping in mind that those who charge unusually low fees may be less motivated to work hard to secure you the best price in a timely manner.
"On the flip side, agents who overvalue your home in an attempt to impress could inadvertently scare off buyers or significantly delay the sale."
The right agent can help make buyers see the value in your property without prices that are sure to put them off. This means you are more likely to get an offer more quickly.
The experts added: "The ideal agent will strike a balance, valuing your home accurately based on current market conditions, working diligently to qualify buyers, keeping a close eye on the entire chain, and gently encouraging solicitors to keep the transaction moving at a good pace.
"Ultimately, the right agent for you will offer a combination of competitive fees and high-quality, proactive service to help you achieve your selling goals."
When you have picked the best agent and solicitors, regularly checking in on them will ensure things are moving as quickly as possible.
The experts added: "Rather than waiting for others to chase you, take the initiative.
