Separate a displayed rate from a proposed service

AgentSeeker’s partner information distinguishes agency-set fees from calculated fees for unregistered agencies. Before relying on a figure, establish which kind it is, what work it includes and whether the agency has confirmed it for your property.

WHOMA’s structured proposal fields help organise a response to a specific brief. The format makes the details easier to compare; it does not verify every proposed fact or remove the need to review the eventual agency contract.

Ask what a score leaves out

Reviews, listing activity, fees and local standing can help narrow a search. They do not tell you everything about who will manage your move, whether their communication style suits you or what happens when an offer falls through.

For example, ask each shortlisted agency to identify the professional responsible for negotiation and how they will report progress. Use rankings as input to that conversation, then assess the written proposal and personal fit.

WHOMA today

Professional context. Structured decisions. Preparation for review.

WHOMA centres the individual estate agent’s professional profile. Its seller workflow connects a brief, a proposal window, comparable proposals, a shortlist and appointment to gated messages and sale milestones. Seller access is selective: check availability before relying on it for your move.

WHOMA’s Compliance Agent helps eligible estate agents organise instruction details, identify missing information and prepare summaries, checklists and reviewer questions. Reviewed PDF, DOCX or TXT excerpts can be sent in chat; document drafts require an explicit request and can be edited and downloaded as text. Private history and an optional next-day in-app follow-up support returning to the work. This is preparation for human review: the full case workflow, live AML checks, agreement sending and unattended case execution are not enabled. The pilot focuses on England and Wales residential sale instructions; Scotland and Northern Ireland need their own specialist process.
