Selling Your Property Online vs the High Street: What’s the Difference?

When it comes to selling your home, choosing the right estate agent is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. In recent years, more homeowners have turned to online estate agents for greater flexibility, lower fees, and innovative marketing — but how does this compare to the traditional high street model?

At Click Sales & Lettings, we’re proud to offer a modern, online-first service built around transparency, personal service, and value. Here’s how online and high street agents compare — and why more sellers are making the switch.


💷 Fees: Online Agents Are Typically More Cost-Effective

One of the biggest differences is the cost. High street estate agents typically charge 1.2% or more of the final sale price. That’s £3,000 on a £250,000 home.

At Click Sales & Lettings, we offer the same (or better) level of service — but for just 0.75% commission, with no upfront fees. That’s a potential saving of over £1,000.

You get to keep more of your equity, without compromising on results.


🖥️ Flexibility: We’re Online — But Still Local

Being an online-first agency means we’re not tied to a shopfront or office hours. Instead:

  • We’re available 7 days a week, from 7am–10pm
  • You can contact us by phone, WhatsApp, email, or social media
  • We offer in-person valuations and viewings, just like any traditional agent

You get all the convenience of an online service with the reassurance of a real, local expert.


📸 Marketing: Modern Tools That Deliver Results

High street agents often rely on traditional methods — a board, a listing, and a few photos. At Click Sales & Lettings, we go further:

  • Professional drone photography for stunning aerial views
  • Video walkthroughs and social reels to boost engagement
  • Eye-catching social media advertising
  • Listings on major portals like Rightmove and Zoopla

We make your property stand out — and that means more interest, more viewings, and a faster sale.


🧍 Service: Real People, Not Just a Website

Some national online agents operate call centres, meaning you rarely deal with the same person twice.

At Click Sales & Lettings, you’ll always speak to someone who knows you, your property, and the local market. We’re based in Goole, we know the area inside out, and we’re proud to offer a personal, responsive service.
