Does Agent Experience Equal Excellence in Today’s Property Market?

Does Agent Experience Equal Excellence in Today’s Property Market?

When choosing an estate agent, many sellers hear the same pitch again and again: “I’ve been in the business for 20 years” or “We have decades of combined experience.”

Experience can absolutely be valuable. A long career may mean an agent has seen different market cycles, knows the local streets like the back of their hand, and has built strong connections. But in today’s fast-moving, ever-changing property landscape, is experience alone enough?

The Market Is Always Changing

The housing market in 2025 looks very different to even five years ago. Property values are adjusting, in many cases currently selling for around 20% under asking price, and interest rates, buyer demand, and economic confidence all shape the deals being done right now. An agent who understands today’s market realities, not just the history, is best placed to give you honest advice on whether now is the right time to sell, and what price will attract real buyers rather than wishful thinkers.

Technology Is Redefining the Game

From 3D virtual tours and AI-powered property matching to precision-targeted social media marketing, the tools available to sell homes effectively have transformed. Staying on the ball with these innovations can mean the difference between a property languishing online and one that gets seen by the right audience instantly. Technology moves fast — and so should your agent.

New Opportunities Are Emerging

Today’s buyers aren’t just looking for four walls and a roof. Energy efficiency, solar installations, EV charging points, and sustainable building materials are becoming selling points in their own right. Agents who understand eco-friendly features, and how to present them as value-adding benefits, can open up entirely new buyer pools and negotiation advantages.

Excellence Means More Than Longevity

A great agent in 2025 needs a blend of qualities:

• Up-to-the-minute market insight with data led confidence in advice

• Mastery of modern marketing tools

• Understanding of evolving buyer priorities

• Honest, data-driven pricing advice

We believe our role isn’t to sell you a dream, but to guide you through the reality, giving you the best possible strategy for your property, whether that means listing now or waiting for the right moment.

Because in today’s property market, excellence is earned every single day — not just over the years.
