What sellers need to know when an agent makes this claim
It’s a line many homeowners hear during a valuation:
“I’ve got someone on my books who would love this house.”
It sounds promising – even exciting – especially if you’re keen to sell. But in many cases, this is less about a serious buyer… and more about getting you to sign a long-term contract with the agent.

In today’s property market, an accurate valuation is more important than ever. But not all agents play fair.
If you’ve ever had three estate agents give wildly different prices for your home, you’re not alone. Some agents deliberately overvalue just to win your instruction – and tie you into a long contract (often 12 to 16 weeks).

At Collyers, we believe in honest, evidence-based pricing – and here’s why that matters.
