Ranked by fee transparency, sale time and asking-price achievement
Every estate agent on AgentSeeker's Rye rankings is assessed on three pillars — the same three that actually affect your sale outcome, not the reviews and awards that often fill competitor rankings.
We pull performance data from Land Registry, PropertyData and our own transaction records — not marketing claims.

If you sell your Rye home entirely privately with no agent involved, there's no agent fee to pay. However, most Rye agents operate on a 'sole agency' or 'multi-agency' contract — and if a buyer originally introduced by the agent completes, the fee is still due even if you handle the final negotiation yourself. Always check the contract before signing. Compare committed-fee Rye agents on AgentSeeker. committed-fee Rye agents.
