The Goldilocks Pricing Strategy That Makes Estate Agents More Money
If you’re using the Agent Response Payment Platform, you’re already equipped with a powerful tool for collecting payments easily from buyers and sellers. But the real value goes beyond convenience, it’s about unlocking new income streams and optimising what you’re already offering.
An Agent Response customers recently trialled different pricing for one of their buyer-facing products, and uncovered a simple but powerful truth:
🟡 There’s a “Goldilocks zone” for pricing.
-
When a product is too cheap, buyers hesitate, question its value, or simply forget to pay which ends up causing unnecessary back-and-forth.
-
When it’s too expensive, buyers push back or drop off altogether.
-
But at the just-right price, they simply pay…no hassle, no resistance.
And when that happens, you’re not just covering costs, you’re generating consistent, scalable revenue.
Case Study: The Buyers Compliance Administration Fee
One standout example is the Buyers Compliance Administration Fee, offered by Shropshire Estate Agent Nock Deighton.
This fee is a perfect example of just-right pricing. At £75, it’s low enough to feel reasonable to buyers, yet high enough to clearly reflect the work and compliance it covers. Because it’s priced correctly, buyers don’t push back or question it, they can see the value immediately, especially as the service is transparently itemised through the Agent Response Payment Platform.
The Buyers Compliance Administration Fee covers:
-
Administration involved with agreeing to a purchase
-
Property revisits
-
Sales progression
-
Liaising with mortgage lenders, legal representatives, and surveyors
-
Arranging professional property inspections
-
Identification checks required under the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017
This means:
✅ Buyers get transparency and smooth progression (for just £75)
✅ Agents ensure compliance while reducing admin load
✅ Revenue is generated upfront and non-refundable
It’s a simple product with clear value: buyers understand exactly what they’re paying for, and agents capture income that scales with every transaction.
