What If I Am Currently Using an Estate Agent or Sole Agency?
Using Buzz Properties does not conflict with any Sole Agency agreements you have in place.
It is always a good idea to check with your estate agent, and make them aware you are advertising
your property privately, to simply avoid any confusion regarding the sale.
If you are currently using more than one estate agent to sell your property, you will need to
check any contracts you have in place to see if you can sell your property privately. If any agreement does not
let you sell your property privately, it would be our recommendation to cancel that agreement, and use another
agency, whether that is Buzz Properties for FREE or another agency for more.
