  • paragraph

    Many agents will tell you they are the best, but our philosophy, based on the following, proves that we are the market leaders:

    LOCALITY - Our fully qualified valuers have considerable marketing experience in the Chesterfield and surrounding areas, and will research and accurately assess all valuations to ensure we position your property to sell at the right price in the shortest possible time - WE KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE LOCAL MARKET!

    ATTENTION TO DETAIL - The smallest improvements can make your house more marketable, and we specialise in identifying your property's maximum potential, as well as providing advice on any identified structural problems or matters concerning legal disputes. Our market leading sales brochures contain floor plans, easily assimilated key feature text, site and location plans and the best photos to showcase your house, with professionally printed executive brochures available for a small additional charge.

    MARKETING STRATEGY - Other agents will tell you they will keep in touch, but we have our own Vendor Liaison Consultant specifically designated to update you on a regular basis with regard to market conditions, and ensure your full requirements are being met. Our service to you includes a combination of press and extensive internet coverage, targeted mail outs and hotlist telephone calls. We will get to know the buyers registered with us, so we can "match" properties to their requirements and ensure a speedier sale - we talk to our potential buyers instead of just mailing details out.

    DETERMINATION TO SUCCEED - You want an agent that doesn't easily give up, and Wilkins Vardy will pursue every lead that shows even the slightest interest in your house, as we believe every missed lead is a missed opportunity. We constantly monitor market conditions to ensure your property is always priced competitively and has the highest exposure to the most applicable buyers, setting our service apart from the competition.

    FROM SALE TO COMPLETION - We take the stress out of sale chasing, by validating your buyers financial circumstances and keeping you advised of progress all the way through to completion, whilst dealing with any problems that may arise along the way.

    IF YOU WANT AN AGENT WHO PROVIDES THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF SERVICE, WITH OUR FULL AND TOTAL COMMITMENT TO SELLING YOUR HOUSE AT THE BEST PRICE IN THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE TIME, COME TO WILKINS VARDY-THE ESTATE AGENT YOU CAN TRUST!
