The need for estate agents "has never been greater"

Many home movers could be looking to acquire the assistance of an
estate agent soon, as one property commentator
has claimed that the need for professional property advice has
never been greater.
Peter Cosmetatos, operating director of Reita, the education and
awareness campaign for property investment, highlighted the fact
that more than 30 new property funds have entered the market in
recent months.
"With very little stock to meet rapidly rising demand, investors
must take very careful advice before jumping into anything," he
added.
His comments follow the publication of the organisation's Property
Investment Perspective report, which revealed that more than one in
every two housing experts claims to have seen a substantial
increase in investor confidence.
It also reported that more than 95 per cent of survey participants
believe that market conditions have improved in the last three
months.
Reita was voted Innovation of the year in Property Week's Property
Awards 2007.
