Switching Estate Agents: Why the right agency partner matters – some of us our changing lives – some agents just do a job…

DID YOU KNOW? – According to recent statistics 65% of UK sold property was sold by the SECOND OR THIRD estate agent…

 

The state of the UK property sales market is very poor

Our aim is to completely restore clients faith in agency.

 

In 2010 i either left the business or decided to do something about the poor state of English estate agency – so i decided to start my own company in my garage and create an elite brand – a high performance brand that we know today as Meyers across the south of England and found especially selling and letting in Dorset, Devon and Hampshire.

Smooth Switching: How to Change Estate Agents

Our one AIM for your property

  • Best Price
  • Most Effective Timescale
  • Least Stress

Selling a home isn’t just a transaction—it’s a life-changing moment. Whether you’re moving for a fresh start, growing your family, or downsizing for a simpler life, every property move is a step toward a new chapter. But too often, sellers find themselves stuck in limbo, waiting for action that never comes, watching opportunities slip away while their estate agent does little to push things forward.

At Meyers, we believe estate agency should be different. It should be dynamic, proactive, and driven by high-performance results. We are on a mission to transform the UK property market, not just by selling houses, but by elevating the entire experience. Our goal is simple: Elite-level estate agency that gets better results, faster. And if your current agent isn’t delivering, it’s time to make the switch.

When Your Agent Isn’t Performing

Many sellers reach out to us after months of frustration. Their property is sitting on the market, they’re getting little feedback, and viewings are drying up. Maybe they’ve noticed the quality of marketing is poor—dark photos, uninspiring descriptions, zero social media presence. Or maybe they simply don’t feel their agent cares enough. And that’s the problem: most estate agents do the bare minimum. They list your home, stick it on Rightmove, and wait. That’s not enough.

An elite agent drives the sale. They create demand. They use marketing, negotiation, and strategic pricing to generate interest. They don’t sit back—they make things happen. And if your agent isn’t doing that, you’re wasting valuable time.

Understanding the Switch: A Simple but Powerful Move

Changing estate agents might feel like a hassle, but it’s actually straightforward. In most cases, all you need to do is check your contract and serve notice. Yet many sellers hesitate, worried about getting it wrong. Here’s the truth: staying with the wrong agent is a bigger risk than switching to a better one.

Before making the move, review your contract. Look for:

  • Notice periods (how long you must wait before switching).
  • Tie-in clauses (restrictions that might lock you in).
  • Exit fees (some agents charge penalties for leaving early).

If you’re unsure, a quick chat with us can help clarify everything. We’ll guide you through the process, ensuring a smooth transition.

The Difference an Elite Agent Makes

So what does an elite agent actually do differently? It starts with a complete strategy shift. Instead of waiting for buyers to come to you, we go out and find them. Instead of generic marketing, we build a campaign designed to showcase your home at its absolute best through social media and through national advertising and exhibitions in London.

Photography matters. Staging matters. Pricing strategies matter. We analyse what’s not working and fix it immediately. If your property hasn’t had interest, we reposition it in the market to command attention. We reintroduce it with a bang—targeted ads, social media exposure, and direct outreach to potential buyers.

This is the difference between standard estate agency and high-performance estate agency. We treat every property as a priority. We communicate clearly, follow up relentlessly, and ensure that every step leads toward a successful sale.
