Traditional or online Estate Agents - you can have both

What is the best and most efficient way of selling your home? An online Estate Agent or the traditional high street Estate Agent?

JW Wood has been selling homes in County Durham for more than one hundred years and have sold hundreds of millions of pounds’ worth of property.

And the company's manging director says the answer is finding the right balance between a traditional personal service and the benefits of modern technology.

Geoff Graham, Managing Director of JW Wood Residential, says: “It is important to judge the quality of the agent’s service, advice and trust, and to rely on the local knowledge and experience gained over many years of dealing with homes in County Durham and Darlington. 

“Online Estate Agents can claim to be cheaper because they are usually centralised and have virtually no staff on a local basis, compared to our forty-plus staff, dedicated to ensure that you have a successful sale or letting.”

At JW Wood, we have invested in the latest online technology and we are updating our systems all the time to improve them, and improve our customer experience. We offer all of our clients access via Right Move and On the Market, together with our own website supported by our social media and Facebook campaigns.

We continue to hold a list of potential buyers for all of the houses we have on offer and we are in constant contact with all buyers and sellers and landlords to ensure the most effective marketing campaign is available to those who instruct us. We are the local members of the relocation network dedicated to moving people from outside the area both locally and Internationally, and we believe we offer the best chance for our clients to find a buyer or tenant.

So, when you are worrying whether to go down the traditional or the online route, remember that if you come to JW Wood, you will get the best of both worlds - a traditional Estate Agent with all the advantages of an online agent offering 24/7 access to your home. 

JW Wood have been selling and letting homes in and around Durham since 1910 so you can trust them to have the knowledge and experience to secure your property’s sale or lease.
