Large corporate national estate agent companies often try to pass themselves off as local business by using different brand names around the country. Why do they do this? It's simply because even they know that the best estate agent to sell your home will always be a truly independent locally-based one.
A great example of this is valuations. Market trends and historical data are easy to access whereas solid, expert local knowledge can only come from experience.
Long sole-agency periods in agreements are something else that we are against. If an agent is as good as they tell you they are, why do they need to tie you into a lengthy contract commitment?
Obviously we cover all the basics - your home will be on the major online portals, with photos and written descriptions that we create to industry-leading standards.
When we say 'create' that's what WE do - nothing is made by an impersonal AI programme.
We do much more, with highly targeted newsletters and property alerts sent out to our registered buyers often leading to interest even before the listing 'goes live' online.
Sometimes it seems an estate agent wants to advertise the fact you're thinking of selling even before you've decided to choose to go with them! We use non-branded cars to visit you and can even arrange for a complete 'discreet marketing' package. This involves more than simply not having a prominent 'For Sale' sign outside you home as your property doesn't have to appear online or in publications.
This is just another example of how we listen to you and adapt our way of working to what you want to happen. This is something bigger corporate agents simply can't do.
