Selling Guide
If you are serious about selling your property, then the starting point should be obtaining a market appraisal, (valuation), to enable you to budget for your forward purchase.
The correct value is of paramount importance - we do not take the view that we simply sell property, although we have an excellent reputation within the property field - we work extremely hard to negotiate the very best price for you, something you would naturally expect from a professional property agent.
Introducing a suitable purchaser is vital when it comes to residential sales; we go to great lengths to ensure that any potential purchaser that wishes to view your property is a serious applicant, and not just a weekend viewer. By asking detailed information about the purchaser’s requirements and financial abilities, we can quickly establish if they are likely to be able to afford your property. Although we are unable to guarantee that all viewers will buy, we can guarantee that we will take great care in qualifying their situation and ability to buy before suggesting they view your property.
Property Particulars
Marketing
Tell the world!
The successful marketing of your property is the key to negotiating its best possible sale price. The more who know that you intend to sell, the better. By increasing your viewing activity we will achieve a greater chance of securing suitable offers for you. Ultimately, the more viewings we achieve, the better chance we will have in negotiating the full asking price.
What we do for you
Presentation is everything. Our particulars are designed to paint the best possible picture of your property. Our details will offer just enough information to entice potential purchasers to view, without giving too much away. We want potential purchasers to view your property - the particulars are designed to tempt and gain interest - too much information and you could lose the impact. By allowing us to present your property in a tried and tested way, you can be sure that we will capture the interest of potential buyers.
Getting Noticed
"For Sale" boards
We appreciate that for some people “for sale” boards are not always desired - maybe you want to keep your personal affairs private, or maybe you want to wait for the right moment to inform your neighbours - whatever the reason we will take instruction from you. However, a “for sale” board is a wonderful marketing tool. Many who seek to buy in a certain area will often drive around a development specifically looking for houses for sale and it is estimated that you will receive around 30% more enquiries with this method, the choice is yours.
Direct Mailing
We are all used to receiving marketing material through the post - we have a list of qualified applicants who are seeking to buy property similar to yours on our database. Once we receive your formal instruction to act on your behalf we will, once approved by yourself, notify all interested and eligible parties by brochure and/or telephone.
Reaching Out
Tele-marketing
Like any business, we have key clients who will be contacted first about your home - we know who is financially approved and we know if they are in a position to move within your requested time scale, so why wait? Once we obtain your instruction we will make contact by telephone to all serious and qualified buyers, we want to ensure that the maximum interest is gained on your property to help achieve that full asking price.
Internet
We have all seen the impact that e-commerce has made to industry; residential estate agency is no exception. We will advertise your property on our company website providing even more access to your property particulars at a time that suits interested parties. Not only is our website a convenient facility to capture potential buyers, but it is a wonderful marketing tool that enables us to attract buyers from further a field. It’s truly amazing the area we can cover with our website 24hours a day 7 days a week.
Homelink
We are part of the largest referral network in the U.K. with over 900 associated offices. This network provides valuable leads on a commission share basis from people moving to different parts of the country. Perhaps this could be you?
Advertising
Local Advertising
Everybody likes to see his or her property in the local property paper, and we understand the importance of local advertising, which is why we will ensure that your property is advertised on a regular basis until it has been sold. We aim to structure our advertising to maximise the enquiries and then put them to the best use. Feel free to request the latest copy of our advert.
National Advertising
With assistance from our associate office in central London, (the “Mayfair Office”), we aim to get national publicity for properties for sale on the Island. This increases the amount of mainland enquiries we are able to generate and can lead to significantly higher sale prices.
