You are entitled to competence. You will need to find a real estate agent suited to your particular property type, value and location. For example, you may have a house that will require an international marketing campaign.
You will also need a market appraisal that you can absolutely rely on for accuracy. This is fundamental to get right and we recommend you obtain 2-3 house appraisals to compare.
