How to Choose the Right Estate Agent in Newark & Southwell
Planning to sell your home in Newark or Southwell? One of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing the right estate agency to represent your property. It’s tempting to opt for the agent with the lowest fee or the biggest brand name, but that could be a costly mistake.
At Alasdair Morrison & Mundys, we believe that experience, strategy, and service quality should be the key criteria—not price alone. Here’s what you need to know before instructing an estate agent.
The True Value of the Right Estate Agent
Your chosen agent can make or break your sale. The right estate agent won’t just find a buyer—they’ll negotiate the best deal, guide the sale through to completion, and ensure it’s done within your desired timeframe.
Here’s how to make the right choice:
1. Experience That Matches Your Property
Not all estate agents are equipped to handle every type of home. An agent who typically sells modern flats may not be the best fit for a countryside cottage, period property, or equestrian home.
At Alasdair Morrison & Mundys, we’ve been successfully selling a wide range of homes across Newark and Southwell for decades. We understand local property nuances and have the right buyer databases to match.
2. Competency Beyond Listings
It’s not just about putting your home online. A competent agent will:
-
Qualify enquiries
-
Maximise every opportunity to promote your home
-
Secure meaningful viewings
-
Provide regular updates and feedback
We pride ourselves on our ability to turn interest into action through proactive selling, not passive listing.
3. A Marketing Strategy That Works
Ask about the marketing plan. Does the agent simply rely on property portals? Or do they also utilise:
-
Social media marketing
-
Email buyer alerts
-
Direct database targeting
-
High-quality photography and videography
-
Professional staging advice
At Alasdair Morrison & Mundys, our multi-channel strategies are tailored for each property. Whether your buyer is local or in London, we ensure maximum exposure.
4. Understanding Fees in Context
Low fees may sound appealing—but only if the agent can sell your home. Choosing an agent based solely on cost could end up costing you more in the long run if your home sits unsold.
A higher-quality agent who secures the best price, faster, offers greater value. As the saying goes: “Good isn’t cheap, and cheap isn’t good.”
5. Support Through the Entire Process
A great estate agent doesn’t stop working once an offer is accepted. The legal process that follows can be complex and stressful. That’s why we stay actively involved in:
-
Chain management
-
Liaising with solicitors
-
Sales progression
-
Keeping you informed at every stage
This full-service approach is why clients across Newark and Southwell consistently recommend Alasdair Morrison & Mundys.

Selling a home is a major financial decision. Choosing the wrong estate agent could mean missed opportunities, delays, or even failed sales.
