Re: Estate Agents.
Sadly dealing with them/getting to know them is very helpful if you want to be at the front of the queue.
There were several occasions when EAs told us about properties just coming on/offers fallen through, before they hit Rightmove. In hot areas they often don't have to do that many viewings either so if you don't get a slot then you won't get the property.
With our current house: The EA called us up just after an offer fell through as we'd made a lower offer several months before. It wasn't re-advertised.
Acorn do this thing where they don't put a property "on the market" and instead invite round a select list of buyers.
They said to us we could just do that with them for 2 weeks and if no offer accepted we could sell with someone else straight after or list as normal. (we didn't)
