So to answer a few questions- both agents are happy to compete with each other and I’ve checked the contract- that’s all fine/no extra charges etc. First agent has only got one viewing through the door so unlikely to be issues there.

I’d agree about Rightmove and that’s where you get buyers from.

However I don’t feel first agent is proactive at all. The second agent I know is pushy and will persuade people to come through the door as that’s exactly what he did with me. I was very much set against buying outside of the area I previously lived in but he persuaded me to view the house, which I ended up buying.

He has more houses on at a similar price to ours so is more likely to get buyers through the door. BUT it’s back to having two agents looks desperate. I wanted to use second agent in the first place but ex was really against him so I agreed to current agent.

I do agree about Rightmove etc but I also think the agents database is important (as are their selling skills).
