    The first step in selling your home is to organise a valuation. At Country Holmes we can offer you a free, accurate valuation with no obligation.

    MARKETING

    Good marketing is paramount. Your house needs to stand out to get noticed and get people through your door! Property photos need to show off your property in the best possible way, so we use professional cameras and lenses to achieve this. It is important that we make your home the star of the show, which can only be achieved with the correct equipment and the right know how.

    Once we have the best photographs and description of your property, we display your home to the widest possible audience via social media, local publications and all major, national property websites such as Rightmove and Zoopla. In order to keep your property file fresh, we constantly optimise the site and look for new ways to improve traffic to get you more viewings.
    We also offer video tours of your home so that you can share your property on social media with friends and family to reach an even wider audience.

      You should definitely use Country Holmes
      I've used Country Holmes to buy, sell and let properties for a number of years and can't recommend them highly enough. Mike and his team are fantastic. When we sold our last property through them, Mike said it would sell fast. He wasn't kidding! Literally within less than 24 hours of it going on the market we had a buyer! Mike and Rochelle handled the viewings, negotiations following surveys and all the communications brilliantly. Very professional, friendly and very honest with their advice. If you are selling a property you should definitely use Country Holmes - Louise Reid, All agents Aug 2018
