My PB agent was called Gary. He picked up the phone every time I rang, came around a couple of times, took decent pictures, wrote a good description and advised on how to deal with the complexities of leasehold (which if you scroll back isn't going so well, but that's not to do with him).
We did the viewings and he did all the negotiations. It wen't well. I don't understand what a kid in a branded mini is going to do better?

Their pitch is that they have a bigger database of prospects, and that they make it easier for prospects to see your place.
I'm not sure how this stacks up. I've had an agent working on my place for eight weeks and I've had one offer well below the asking.
So I need to do something different. Might look at PB etc.

@amey I ended up using PB after treating each EA coming around to value the place as a job interview, if they want loads of money they need to prove the know the market, or will actually work for it. The PB agent I got had the best price strategy, knows the area well and was the cheapest.
All other estate agents will chat shit about PB, I had other EA calling me every other day once they knew I was using PB and bad mouthing PB and offering to buy me out of my contract but then would charge me eventually loads more than PB in the commission. If you can avoid the loan for the up front fee there is not too much of downside of PB I think.
I paid the extra for him to do viewings, as some potential buyers don't like dealing with the seller, and the agent can do all the admin. Also found when it came to offers people prefer to talk to an agent. Then I sold my place in under a month, so it worked out well, maybe I got lucky
