If you have often found yourself wondering if it would be better to sell your house using a high street estate agent or use an online estate agent to sell a house online, read on.

Many homeowners who both want to sell a house online and those looking to buy or rent are using the internet more often and more regularly, so it makes perfect sense to use estate agents online. Of course there are also some other advantages to using an agent online to help sell your home:

•    Statistics show the majority of people looking to buy or rent a new property will start their house hunt online. Consequently, if a homeowner is using an online estate agent to advertise their property on the internet, there is a greater chance of it being snapped up quicker by someone who is looking for a new home.
•    Advertising a property online can also bring financial benefits too as it will generally cost you less money to sell online. There will usually be fewer fees involved and you can provide more detailed information in an online advertisement meaning you need to spend less on promoting the property. Indeed, you could also add in multimedia features such as providing a 3D video tour around the home.
•    As all the information is available to potential buyers online, the seller can then sit back and relax while the advertisement goes live on the internet as there is often very little effort involved in selling a home over the internet once the initial advertisement has been posted. This may appeal to those selling property with very little spare time. It will also work in the same way for buyers who are very short of time as they can browse the advertisements in their own time, without having to wait for the local estate agents to open its doors on a Monday morning.
