    Why choose Tailor Made Estate Agents when selling your property?


    Prime Poole & Bournemouth, Dorset Estate Agents Since 1994

    There really is no substitute for the value that an experienced estate agent can bring to the sales process. Our senior property consultants have been selling and letting property in Poole & Bournemouth for over 40 years and we know how to obtain outstanding prices for our clients no matter what the market is doing.

    The secret to our success is that we genuinely love our home patch. We specialise in the area between Sandbanks, Poole & Bournemouth, which we call the golden triangle. This area includes Whitecliff, Lower Parkstone, Lilliput, Branksome Park and Canford Cliffs with our offices located on Sandbanks Peninsula, next to the world famous Rick Steins.

    We know this area like no-one else, and our success in selling property there is unrivalled. In fact, if we have not sold your property before, we have probably sold your neighbour's.


    Marketing

    There was a time when nationwide firms could boast of their vast network of sales outlets, but the internet has shifted the market in favour of specialists, who can now combine their intimate knowledge of their area with access to global sales. And, of course, we offer the type of personal service the large firms cannot.

    We pride ourselves on quality presentation of property particulars using only professional photography, user friendly floor plans and our own inhouse 8 page brochures. We advertise on all of the primary property portals i.e. primelocation, findaproperty, zoopla, Rightmove etc and rank high on google search results.


    We Go The Extra Mile....

    So we have a reputation to uphold, and we work hard to keep it. Our directors are hands-on managers, establishing a company culture of integrity, professionalism, hard work and the highest levels of service.

    The location speaks for itself here and Dorset is the best in the world, and it is a privilege to work here. Tailor Made Estate Agents is a respected name in the area, one that is linked not just with the property business but local life - we support many local charities and events throughout the year.

    Photos

    On crowded property portals or amongst similar properties in your local paper, stunning photography will capture people's attention. The right photo can portray the lifestyle within the home, allowing people to imagine it as their own. We use a professional photographer to capture your property at its best. We can also offer drone photography which can give a much-needed aerial view of, for example, the scope of exterior space, or proximity to the water.

    Videos

    We can arrange professional videography of your property, which is a great way to bring a property to life and animate the space, and it can work really well on social media when it comes to marketing.

    Floorplans

    Will give buyers a true perspective of the accommodation your property has to offer. Unlike photos, floorplans allow people to map their lifestyle onto the square footage, assessing how your property will meet their future needs. We can arrange for professional floorplans to be carried out.

    Energy Performance Certificate

    It is a legal requirement to have a recent Energy Performance Certificate for a property before it can be marketed. We can advise you and organise this on your behalf if required.

    Brochure

    A quality sales brochure provides a great first impression and allows that impression to linger. Choose from our in-house designs or professionally printed sales particulars, according to your needs. This dedicated brochure can be emailed or posted to potential buyers in a targeted marketing approach.

    Marketing

    We are able to offer a number of different marketing platforms, including extensive global internet exposure, selected local and national publications, and social media, tailored to your requirements. We advertise properties on our website, through Rightmove, Zoopla and Prime Location, which we know reach a broad range of potential purchasers locally, nationally and internationally. We will discuss your requirements with you and advise you on the most effective marketing tools tailored to you and your property.

    Adrian Dunford - Director
    Adrian's passion for property saw him purchasing his first home at the age of just 18, catapulting him into a market that would, over the years, become his lifeblood. His first taste of agency life started in Parkstone, where he ran an estate agency that quickly grew to three offices. With a keen interest in finance, he became an Independent Financial Advisor for over 25 years, but it seems the pull of property was hard to resist; in 2008 Adrian took over the helm of Tailor Made, taking his family's business into a new and exciting era. Born and bred in the local area, Adrian's intimate knowledge of Sandbanks and beyond is second to none; this, coupled with his detailed property knowledge and financial prowess, makes Adrian an incredibly astute and agile property expert.
