When launching a property to the sales market, the ultimate objective is to sell. To achieve this, viewings and offers are essential and in today's market, can arrive in a non-proceedable form.

As a seller, it can be a conflicting matter, so what to do? To answer this, it is important to recognise a seller's requirements, timescale, and prerogative. For a seller with a tight timeframe to complete, or who must complete before their move is possible, receiving viewers who are not yet on the market is highly unlikely to be their answer.

Likewise, a seller with no particular timeframe often benefits from such viewers who recognise and commit to a house they fall in love with, proving focused and goal-driven.

Ultimately, it is an agent’s responsibility to best guide and inform their sellers of how to proceed, and to align their efforts with their seller's needs and objectives. This is yet another reason why a good working relationship between seller and agent is fundamental.

Moving forward to a scenario of receiving non-proceedable offers, the key is communication led by the agent between all parties to sustain focus and aid progress to proceedability. However, marketing efforts should not be paused or forgotten. A seller should remain on the market until said offer is proceedable, otherwise, the door to other offers, which may see a better result, closes.

I hope this brings a helpful perspective to current and upcoming sellers reading this. If you have any questions that you need an answer to, get in touch today.
