A good agency earns its keep through street-level knowledge rather than glossy brochures. In an inner suburb like St Albans, where renovated villas sit beside newer townhouses and values shift from block to block, an agent who can quote recent sales on your street is worth more than a big promise. Expect a free appraisal and a frank talk about whether auction, tender or private sale suits the property. Before signing with anyone, ask how often you'll actually hear from your agent — steady communication and well-run open homes tell you most of what you need.
For anyone selling or house-hunting around St Albans, having a Harcourts office on Sherborne Street puts that expertise right on the neighbourhood's doorstep.
