What does it mean to work directly with an owner?

Many people may think that private sellers have something to hide, hence the reluctance to work through an estate agent. In some cases, this might be true, but in most cases people would prefer to do the sales themselves because they have received bad service in previous property transactions, or they just simply do not want to pay the commission when they sell their house.

Just remember that if you are not comfortable going through the private sales transaction yourself, you can make use of an estate agent or property sales consultant to take care of all matters concerned on your behalf. Because you are not the seller, you will have to negotiate a fee with the chosen estate agent.
