SELLING YOUR HOME: 5 reasons you need a Sales Progressor by your side

In an ideal world, selling a home and moving to a new one would be a quick and easy process. In reality, it’s often slow, complicated and stressful.

Around a third of property purchases fall through, according to Which?. Reasons include a change of heart or personal circumstances or unforeseen financial problems. The consequences can be a painful domino effect for buyers and sellers in a chain, disrupting plans and leaving people out of pocket.

Luckily, help is at hand.

A Sales Progressor is someone who stands by you to ensure the property sale stays on course. From the moment an offer is accepted, they help move the sale through to exchange of contracts, completion and handover of keys. They will liaise with buyer and seller, estate agent, solicitors and mortgage broker.

In this blog, we’ll explain five reasons why sales progression activity is so vital and we’ll introduce you to Toni Stennet-Green, our Sales Progressor here at Chinneck Shaw.

COMMUNICATION: A Sales Progressor has a specific role within an estate agency. They act as a point of contact for parties involved in the sale, ensuring good lines of communication and bringing relevant information together. This is important because despite the best intentions things don’t always go as planned in the world of property sales. Transparent and consistent communication is the lifeblood of successful sales progression.

NAVIGATION: There are many reasons why a proposed property sale might fall through. Buyers can suddenly have ‘cold feet’, financing can hit a snag, issues may arise unexpectedly from a building survey or parties can have a change of personal circumstances. Engaged sales progression ensures that these bumps in the road are addressed promptly and effectively. The Sales Progressor essentially navigates the parties through any twists and turns.

MOMENTUM: Property transactions require a series of coordinated steps. A delay at any point can lead to a domino effect, potentially jeopardising the sale. Persistent sales progression keeps the momentum going and everyone on track, ensuring deadlines are met and paperwork is processed efficiently.

SOLVING PROBLEMS: Engaged sales progression isn’t just about sorting paperwork however. It involves identifying potential issues and finding creative solutions. A good Sales Progressor will have a consummate ability to tackle problems head-on.

BUILDING TRUST: Property sales can be emotionally charged. Buyers and sellers need to have confidence in their estate agent’s ability to navigate the process smoothly. Trust is cultivated through professional, empathetic and persistent engagement by a skilled Sales Progressor.
