Considerations when choosing an estate agent:

  • paragraph

    First impressions count
    The majority of buyers will first encounter your property either online or via contact from an agent. We work with all our sellers to present a property in the best possible way; quality photography, detailed floor plans and great room by room details. We also use all the tools available to us to get your property seen by the most potential buyers.

    We pride ourselves in the quality of our service and marketing materials, nothing will be too much trouble for us; quality presentation is considered in every aspect.

  • paragraph

    We spread the net far and wide
    Having a local network of 7 high street offices all working together across the Midlands, we are able to promote your property to a wide audience. 
     
    Not only will your property be part of our wide marketing network, but we also have an office in London promoting your home to commuters and 2nd homeowners. We are able to give you significant geographical exposure so the biggest audience possible see your property.

  • paragraph

    Quality brochures

    Having a well-presented property brochure is a vital part of our sales strategy. Being able to give potential buyers an impressive and professional document that they can have before or after a viewing, helps to keep the property alive in their minds.

    This is one of the reasons we focus on providing great photography, detailed floor plans, as well as location maps, energy rating graphs and descriptions of key features.

  • paragraph

    Photography that sells

    The importance of great photography when marketing a property should never be underestimated. You have seconds to get someone's attention and a great first image can do just that.

    With the majority of buyers flicking through properties online, your home needs to stand out and the best way it can do that is with great photos.

    Your property will be considered or dismissed in a moment by its representative photographs, regardless of the accompanying description, location or floor plan. Even the most desirable properties on paper can be hindered by poor photographs.

    We work hard to get the right images and we will refresh them to keep interest levels as high as we possibly can.

  • paragraph

    Coverage
    Our property marketing strategy is to always use a mix of tools to promote your home. 

    We use all the traditional methods; for sale boards, newspaper advertising and direct mail. And we combine those with online methods such as our website, Rightmove and social media.

    Depending on the property, we might also use magazine, leaflet, poster, radio and event marketing for promotion. 

    We believe in approaching each property with fresh eyes and not just opting for what is traditional or standard to market your home.
