Who is eSale?
eSale was established in Yorkshire in 2012 and initially focused on the local market before expanding throughout the rest of England in 2013. eSale’s business ethos is a courteous, fair, and dependable service influenced by its strong Yorkshire history and characterised by a no-nonsense approach. They aim to keep things straight and simple in the online estate agency world and seem to be the only agency that offers a money-back guarantee.
What is the process with eSale?

- Step 4 – Viewings: eSale will speak to each interested party and get detailed information that is shared with you prior to any viewings.
- Step 5 – Sale Agreement: eSale will work hand in hand with you through the negotiation process and send all required paperwork to the solicitors.
- Step 5 – Sales Progression: The team at eSale will work with you and guide the process through to completion.

eSale Positives

eSale Negatives

- Unlike other online estate agents, eSale follows standard business hours. Most online agents provide a 24-hour service via their online dashboard. Since eSale is more like a traditional estate agent, contact is limited to office hours.

While eSale is a relative newcomer to the world of online estate agents, they are definitely gaining traction due to very positive customer referrals, which instils confidence in prospective clients. Furthermore, eSale is quite competitive in terms of cost compared to other online estate agencies, ensuring that you receive excellent value.
