Buyers

With 12 branches we have More buyers registered with us - literally thousands. We offer all buyers a financial assessment to ensure that they are serious buyers and are not wasting your time, or theirs. We also aim to qualify all offers to ensure that the buyer has the ability to proceed to completion of your sale.

Marketing

Our purpose and aim in Estate Agency is to Sell your property at the best price within your required timescale. To achieve this we believe in a pro-active approach to marketing your home. As soon as you instruct us we start moving - in order to get you moving as soon as possible. Our marketing is geared to produce response from buyers with More web visitors and More viewings.

E-Marketing

Each week we send out over

100,000

emails to registered people with highly targeted messages such as new listings, lettings and auction properties, plus specials like 'Bungalows' and 'Something Special'. We achieve excellent response to these as they show properties listed with us direct to buyers' smart phones, tablets and pc's. This is much more effective than the old approach, which was more press advertising. Very few estate agents use this effective marketing tool and we are constantly evolving and improving this system.

Portals

We upload properties for sale and to let to all major property portals and in particular, to both Rightmove and OnTheMarket. Most estate agents upload to one of these two but we send listings to both to maximise our marketing exposure.

Social Media

We use social media, like facebook and twitter, to generate interest in our business and stock of properties. Research shows that merely listing new properties for sale or to let on social media is counter productive, as it switches people off. For this reason we show interesting lifestyle property topics, rather than actual property details. This drives traffic to our web sites, where people can view all of our listed properties, and arrange viewings.

Internet

Our acclaimed web site www.andrewcraig.co.uk attracts many thousands of hits per month and your property will be available 24 hours a day. We use leading edge web based systems enabling buyers to print full colour details of your home themselves and buyers can register their details directly into our office systems from our web

Mobile Website

Our mobile web site is configured to work on smart phones, making property details and photographs easy to view. Many estate agents have not invested in this technology. Current research shows that more and more buyers use their smart phone to view property listings and for this reason, we make sure that our photographs and details are easy to read in this format.

Technology

Our office systems are web based, so that all staff have access to all properties and registered buyers. Applicants do not have to visit every branch for properties in different areas. We will send details of your home to buyers via email, text message and post.
