Selling

  • paragraph

    Selling Your Property Selling can be a stressful business. Here at Palmer and Partners, we feel we have the right team to take the stress out of your sale or purchase. Not only have all our staff got years of experience, we also have an experienced designated sales progressor to keep you in touch with your sale every step of the way. At the valuation stage, one of our experienced valuers will come out to appraise your property. Prior to meeting you, they will have spent a considerable amount of time researching comparables not only from our own database but from within the market as a whole. With this knowledge we are well placed to value your property at the correct price, ensuring that we attain the maximum price. Once your property is placed on the market, we have an extensive range of applicants both locally and nationally that we would contact immediately by phone and e-mail.

    Marketing We feel that one of the key areas where we excel against our competion is with regards to photography. All of our valuers have professional quality photography equipment and will spend considerable time ensuring your property is shown to its full potential. The valuer will then go onto prepare a comprehensive 3D floor plan of your property alongside the internal photographs. The floor plan and pictures are crucial to online marketing and we accentuate this with Premium Listings on Rightmove as well as further advertising on palmerpartners.com, zoopla.co.uk and all other major web portals.

    Sales Process     All offers on your property will be financially substantiated by either checking with the purchaser's bank/building society, or alternatively, by speaking with our financial consultants. This ensures that should you proceed with any interested parties with Palmer and Partners, you are secure in the knowledge that their position has been confirmed. As previously mentioned, we have a full-time sales progressor in each branch both with considerable experience in the business, making sure that they make your transaction as smooth as possible. Their job is to keep you fully up to date with proceedings having liased with solicitors, surveyors and the banks or building societies involved. We feel that this information is vital to a stress free move.

    Feedback     At Palmer and Partners we pride ourselves on our conscientious service particularly with regards to feedback. There is nothing more frustrating after a viewing than not hearing any feedback. We will keep you well informed with this and information regarding the wider market as a whole at all times. It is imperative to give honest feedback so that we can work together to get your property sold.

    Testimonials from Sellers

    • Seller Testimonial

      Mr A Dent ~ I have recently used these guys for the third time to sell my latest property and once again they did not fail to deliver - my home was online for less than 24 hours before I was offered the asking price. Richard was excellent from day one when he attended the property for valuation and photos. He made sure I was well informed throughout the process and I couldn't be more pleased with his level of professionalism. Many thanks to Richard and the rest of the team.

    • Seller Testimonial

      Mrs S Oldridge ~ Have recently moved to a new property, but it has taken over a year due to circumstances, however, Palmer and Partners have been wonderful and I genuinely could not have got through the stress and hassle without these people. I so wish they had been the agents I was buying through as I am certain it would have been a smoother and easier transaction. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you so much.

    • Seller Testimonial

      Mr G Lancaster ~ Absolutely exceptional customer service from Palmer & Partners Estate Agents. From initial meeting to completion, they were outstanding. I was amazed at the quality of the marketing of our home. They controlled the entire process including appointments, offer, negotiations, dealing with solicitors etc. I am someone that needs to be kept in the loop, and the most impressive quality was their communication, there was always someone available!!. I would not just recommend that you use Palmer & Partners for the Sale or Letting of your home, I would consider you crazy not to.

    Testimonials from Buyers

      Ms Daniels ~ Palmer & Partners are simply amazing. We bought a property from them and the service and touch from them was top notch.

Thank you for going the extra mile Palmer & Partners

    • Buyer Testimonial
