    MARKETING

    Understanding clients individual and specific needs is essential in designing the most appropriate marketing strategy. It may be obvious for clients to want the best possible price but what is also important is selecting the correct buyer, the one that will meet your timescales and actually complete the transaction.

    At Goadsby we attract high numbers of enquiries enabling us to find you the right buyer. We do this through the use of high quality photography, appropriate targeted descriptions and a positive marketing campaign with additional promotion upon national property portals such as Rightmove, On the Market and Goadsby.com further supplemented by local press advertising.

    In addition all properties are advertised with floorplans and research shows these attract increased hits on websites and generate more viewings. The use of floorplans combined with good photography also allow potential buyers to have a greater insight into the property before they view.

    Testimonials from Buyers

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Highly professional, helpful and friendly
      The whole purchase experience for my house has been flawless and have found my contact Rebecca Roger's input has been highly professional, helpful and friendly and would like to thank her for the effort she has made and I would have no problem in recommending goadsby many thanks
    • Buyer Testimonial

      Trust she was looking after our interests 
      Rebecca did a great job for us with our house purchase. She was friendly, yet professional from the start when we 1st saw the house. She was always available and we could trust that she was looking after our interests to address matters as promptly as possible. I'd recommend the agent and Rebecca directly in the future. Our most complete, professional and best personal experience in our 5 house purchases, so far completed over the last 30 years.
    • Buyer Testimonial

      Nothing was ever too much trouble
      Bought our first property through Hayley. She was absolutely fantastic every step of the way. Nothing was ever too much trouble, her communication was brilliant and she is a very understanding person. Thank you so much! If we ever want to sell the property in the future we wouldn't hesitate to come back to Hayley.
    • Buyer Testimonial

      Responsive, attentive and fast moving throughout
      Exceptional - and they weren't even our Estate Agents! The house we bought was marketed by Goadsby but we had opted for an online EA to sell ours. Regardless of this, Goadsby acted in our best interests at all times. We opted for the online EA thinking that we could do most of the hard work ourselves and at that point in our journey it seemed like a fair trade. But considering the amount of stress (and complications) than can be involved in buying and selling a house, I would never have coped if it wasn't for Goadsby, and Rebecca in particular. Rebecca has been on the ball, responsive, attentive and fast moving throughout our rather tricky sale/purchase and not once has she shown signs of the pressure that was definitely present over the past 5 months. I'm all for saving money if it works, but in hindsight I wish we had appointment Goadsby as our Estate Agents - I certainly will in the future without hesitation and with complete confidence.
