Ranked on reputation, fee, listing activity and local standing
Every estate agent in AgentSeeker's Swansea ranking is scored out of 100 on four things we can actually observe, each worth up to 25 points. No agent can pay to move up the list, and we never adjust a score by hand.
Two figures are deliberately absent: achieved price against asking, and average time to sell. They are the two that matter most, and we are building them from HM Land Registry records rather than asking agents to report on themselves. Until that data is ready we leave them out, because a number we cannot stand behind is worse than no number at all.

If you sell your Swansea home entirely privately with no agent involved, there's no agent fee to pay. However, most Swansea 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 Swansea agents on AgentSeeker. committed-fee Swansea agents.
