Unfortunately it is a difficult time to sell for everyone. The best way to attract buyers is ensure you offer good value for money. By this I mean you must be well priced in comparison to similar properties in the area and if you can you really want to be on lower than everything else. Trying to sell without an agent in todays market can be very difficult as there is obviously fewer buyers out there and lots of properties. Why not try joint agency and get an agent that covers a different locations or possibly a city centre agent. You can also mystery shop your agent by calling up or getting a friend to say they are looking to buy in the area and see if the agent promotes your property, sends out details etc. If not the agent might not be the best one to work with.

Good luck with selling whatever you decide.
