A: No! It is entirely FREE however if you decide to take one of the advertisement upgrade packages which allows you to enhance your advert you will have to pay. The money we receive from this and the sale of our products is ploughed back into the company and allows us to develop, add and advertise the rovster site, making sure it becomes the number one property website on the web!
A: When you decide to sell or rent online with rovster this usually does not affect the most common form of estate agents contract (Sole Agency). However it is important to check with the agent and their contract the key is that if you sell your property without using another agent that you have No commission to pay. Read the small print and make sure you don’t get caught out. If it is within your contract ring your agent and revise the terms immediately.
A: When you appoint a ‘Sole Agent’ this does not take away your right to sell the property privately. Your agent is entitled to commission only if they sell your property, or if a buyer is introduced by another estate agent during the period of their sole agency. Either way make sure you carefully agree the terms with your agent in advance.
A: YES! But we at rovster also recognize how important estate agents are and advise that selling your home yourself has many challenges , thus we promote a dual approach. If your estate agent sells your home they get a commission, if you sell your home you keep the commission, its that simple. A good estate agent is worth their weight in gold, but you being proactive and taking control of your property assets will encourage them to work harder for you and ensure your property is getting every chance to let or sell. It’s a win/win!

A: The importance of having an advertising sign should not be underestimated. On average 25% of all sales achieved are instigated entirely through the ‘for sale’ board. This figure rises considerably where the property is situated along a public thoroughfare or on a highway. Estate agents call these boards ‘flags’ and there is good reason… they signal to the buying public that your property is available to them.
