Selecting an agent to sell your home...

paragraph

3 Important Factors to Consider

1) How will the agent present and market my home to attract a buyer?

2) Who will be negotiating on my behalf to achieve the best possible price?

3) How will the progression of the sale be handled to ensure a swift and successful completion?

Here's how WellingtonWise address these 3 points.
paragraph

How will you market my home to attract a buyer?

How an estate agent markets themselves, is usually a good indication of how they'll market your home.

We take a fresh and modern 'no stone unturned' approach to marketing your home. Removing the risk of missing a potential buyer. If you instruct WellingtonWise to market your home, you'll receive:

Free Professional Photographs/videos - we have our own in house professional photographer to show your home in its best possible light, we highly recommend comparing the quality of images when selecting your agent, after all, it's the first thing a potential buyer will see. Since introducing professional quality photography, we have seen a 4-week reduction in the time taken to find a buyer on average.

Local Property News - Our quarterly newsletter, produced in house, is delivered to 16,000 homes throughout St Ives and the surrounding villages. In total, 106,000 copies are delivered across Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire marketing our clients' homes and drawing buyers to register on our database.

Property Portals - We advertise on the largest and most successful property portals in the UK, Rightmove, Zoopla and PrimeLocation. Each have their own loyal following and audience, so we'll never cut costs by leaving them out and ultimately risking the sale of your home.

wellingtonwise.co.uk - launched in 2015 and with a major update in 2022, our website receives a large volume of traffic from buyers and seller alike. We've partnered with some of the best SEO providers and Google Partners in the industry to ensure our website and your home is seen by more people.
paragraph

Negotiating the best possible price.

Having advertised your home to as wide an audience as possible, we've now received some offers and need to negotiate on your behalf to achieve the very best price possible.

Negotiating the best possible price for your home is clearly an extremely important responsibility and one that could mean the difference of £000's. There are a few things that can impact how much we achieve for your home.

The first step to maximising the best price of your home is with a high quality and comprehensive marketing approach as we've already discussed above. The more interest generated on your home, the higher initial and subsequent offers will be. In 2017, WellingtonWise achieved 98% of the asking price on average for our clients.

Ultimately the negotiation is down to the person acting on your behalf, all our negotiators are trained and experienced. The only way to truly know if they are the right person to represent you is to have a chat with them.
paragraph

How to achieve a swift and successful sale.

Having successfully marketed your home and agreed on a fantastic sale price, we now need to guide the sale through to its completion. WellingtonWise work on a no sale no fee basis, so we only get paid when you do.

Sales progression, like offer negotiation, comes down to the people who are working for you. An experience sales progressor can guide your sale through swiftly, with little stress and prevent the sale falling through. Often skipped over by Estate Agents in favour of discussing the marketing, sales progression is long, labour-intensive process where we really 'add value'.

Communication is the name of the game here, which is why WellingtonWise has a dedicated team of sales progressors to guide your sale through to a swift and successful conclusion. We base our sales progression team off the shop floor. They aren't involved in the marketing and selling of homes so can always dedicate their time to progressing your sale and keeping you informed.

Unsurprisingly you'll find most estate agents will say they do a great job at sales progression, so we prefer to let our clients do the talking. In 2017, we received 279 reviews from both sellers and buyers rating our service 4.8 out of 5. In February 2018 we were awarded the Feefo Gold Service Award, reflecting the effort our team applies to deliver the very best experience. All our reviews are available on our website, Feefo.com or alternatively, a selection can be found on the 'Testimonial' tab on our Rightmove Microsite page.

Testimonials from Sellers

Seller Testimonial

the best estate agent that we have dealt with

We have moved may times over the years and we can honestly say that WellingtonWise are the best estate agent that we have dealt with. From the start they were very efficient, good at communicating essential messages and just nice people who understand that buying a new property can be stressful. It was a pleasure to deal with such a professional company and other estate agents could learn much from them! Thank you! I will certainly be recommending the company to my friends.
Seller Testimonial

I wouldn't hesitate to use WellingtonWise again

I used WellingtonWise to sell my property in Fenstanton, they managed to secure me a buyer within a few weeks of marketing and always conducted themselves in a professional manner. They produced a good set of details and always take very good photos over other agents which always set their details apart from the rest. They conducted all the viewings for me and always got back to me with the feedback from the viewings the day after. I found their 'after sale' approach very proactive and often chased the solicitors for me giving me regular updates. In the past I have found other agents tend to go quiet once they have put a buyer in place. I wouldn't hesitate to use WellingtonWise again.
Seller Testimonial

Seller Testimonial

honest, helpful, friendly and efficient

We found all the staff to be honest, helpful, friendly and efficient. They put up with us asking what were probably very silly questions!
Seller Testimonial

wonderful, professional, personal service

Can't say enough good things about WellingtonWise, who both sold our old house and found our new one. They have a comprehensive understanding of the local market and take the time to listen to and understand their client's needs. A wonderful, professional, personal service that removes the unnecessary stress. Wouldn't use anyone else to sell our house (though they found us such a perfect house, that's not a service we'll be looking for any time soon!)
Seller Testimonial

Seller Testimonial

no pressure or lengthy sales pitch

Richard was great, seemed very genuine and there was no pressure or lengthy sales pitch at the initial valuation. Since then, he has provided all the necessary information clearly, and acted quickly to get the property on the market. So far, very happy with the service from this agent.
Seller Testimonial

Testimonials from Buyers

Buyer Testimonial

above and beyond

I think the term 'above and beyond' would be the most apt thing that I could say. Tom and Jeremy especially kept things going when we were ready to give up, during a very testing and trying process in trying to buy our new house. We really couldn't have asked for more in the help they gave and in the drive to make things happen in the face of apparent disinterest from the various solicitors involved. I would thoroughly recommend anyone intending to purchase their new property to look no further because, in my honest (and completely unsolicited) opinion, you just won't find a more efficient and professional agent than the guys at Wellington Wise. I would also like to add my personal thanks, publicly, for all that they did for us.
Buyer Testimonial

Communication excellent

Sold and bought a property through WellingtonWise. We were very impressed with how quickly WellingtonWise managed to get our house to market with good visual imagery. Communication excellent (phone, letters and e-mail). Strong knowledge of the local area and did not push a sale when you went for a viewing. We would happily recommend. Thank you
Buyer Testimonial

the process felt seamless

Our experience with Wellington Wise and with Laurence was fantastic from start to finish. For a start, Wellington Wise were the ONLY estate agent we registered with which actually listened to our requirements and only got in touch when they had a property that genuinely matched our needs and budget! The first property we were contacted with was the best property we had viewed and the property we bought! Laurence was fantastic from the start, was always available if we needed anything and when he showed us around the property, he knew any information off hand when we asked. Then we made an offer, the process felt seamless and any information was promptly relayed to us. Overall, the experience with Wellington Wise in St Ives and with Laurence was fantastic and would be the only place I'd recommend you go.
Buyer Testimonial

Fantastic personal service

Fantastic personal service from the whole Wellington Wise team. Always kept informed of what was going on and they went out of their way to ensure the entire process went as smoothly as possible.
Buyer Testimonial

they put my mind at ease

I would strongly recommend WellingtonWise. As a first time buyer they put my mind at ease and maintained a constant dialogue over a very nerve-wracking offer process. They clearly work well as a team and ensure all matters are dealt with in a friendly yet confident manner. My recommendation for this firm come without reservation.
