How to Use Compare Agents: A Simple Guide for First-Time Users

Looking to sell or rent out your property and not sure where to start? Choosing the right estate agent can make all the difference — from achieving the best price to getting your home sold faster.

At Compare Agents, we make the process quick, easy, and completely free. In this short guide, we’ll walk you through how to use our comparison tool so you can confidently choose the right estate agent for your needs.


Step 1: Visit the Website

Head to our homepage at Compare Agents. Right at the top, you’ll see a prompt to enter your postcode — this is how we connect you with estate agents who are active in your local area.


Step 2: Enter Your Property Details

Once you’ve entered your postcode, you’ll be asked to provide some basic information about your property. This includes:

  • Type of property (e.g. flat, terraced house, semi-detached)
  • Number of bedrooms
  • Whether you’re selling or letting
  • Your estimated property value (optional but helpful)

This information helps us match you with estate agents who specialise in your kind of property and know your local market.


Step 3: Compare Estate Agents Instantly

In seconds, you’ll receive a shortlist of top-rated local estate agents — based on performance, local experience, and customer reviews.

You’ll be able to compare:

  • Average sale or rental times
  • Fees and commission structures
  • Customer satisfaction scores
  • Valuation estimates (if available)
  • Agency strengths (e.g. fast sales, high asking prices, lettings expertise)

This side-by-side view lets you make an informed decision at a glance — no more endless phone calls or confusing price promises.


Step 4: Request a Valuation or More Info

Once you’ve found an agent (or a few) that interest you, you can:

  • Request a free valuation
  • Arrange a call-back
  • Ask a question directly through the platform

There’s no obligation to choose anyone at this stage — we simply connect you with the agents that match your needs.


Step 5: Choose with Confidence

After speaking to a few agents and reviewing their offers, you can select the one that fits your goals — whether that’s:

  • The best price achieved
  • The lowest fee
  • The fastest sale
  • Or simply the agent who gave you the most confidence

You stay in control the entire time, and our comparison is designed to save you time, money, and stress.
