The best way to sell your house, buy or both is with our help. We've been helping people like you since 1998 and are here for all of its ups and downs! Talk about a great experience - we're dedicated professionals who will go above and beyond to give you peace of mind when choosing an agent that suits YOU best

When you invite us to carry out a market appraisal on your property, we will give you the most realistic and genuine figure possible. We don't believe in overvalued properties just for instruction; instead, our goal is to make sure that every home has its fair price without any embellishment or deception - which means using Land Registry data combined with Rightmove & Zoopla reports showing trends within an area so as not only provide professionals but also homeowners like yourself accurate information about what they should be selling and paying based off current market conditions

When you're ready to sell your home, we'll help make it happen. We know that there can be some uncertainties and worries with selling a house - especially if this is the first time! Our success in dealing with clients' properties has come from offering accompanied viewings on all homes so buyers get an intimate look at what they may purchase before deciding whether or not something suits their needs best; as well as ensuring no security risks for homeowners.

Marketing

1. Professional Photography. Property listings that are enhanced and include high-quality images will receive more enquiries than others. So make sure these striking shots show off every inch of what makes yours unique- from those hardwood floors on down

2. Professional Floorplans allow buyers to appreciate the layout of a home. 60% say that they're essential when searching for Property, and detailed 2D or 3-dimensional drawings make this process easier!

3. Social Media Marketing. There are several different ways to market your home, and at M&P Estates, we've found that social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and Tiktok can be very effective. It is essential for us as your Estate Agent to make sure all of these channels are being used to reach the biggest audience possible!

4. Virtual & Video Tours. Virtual and video tours are a great way to show off your home. They help us filter out the right people who will be coming in person!

5. Property Portals. We use property portals such as Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket to help buyers find their property. In addition, our website is full of helpful hints and tips for buyers or sellers!

Successful Out Comes. An essential aspect of how we operate is continuous communication and feedback to you about your home. In addition, once your property has sold, you will be given a dedicated sales progressor who works Monday to Friday from 9 am - 6 pm. Having a dedicated full-time sales progressor working for you will make it possible to complete your sale between 6 and 8 weeks; however, this depends on the other properties within the sales chain.

If you would like more information on our marketing processes, you are welcome to pop into our office in Daiglen Drive for a coffee and a chat about your requirements, if this suits you better.

We look forward to meeting you and helping you with your moving requirements.

It is incredible that so few agents regularly accompany buyers around a property, leaving it to the seller to do all the work! No only does this strike us as poor service, but accompanied viewings from a well-trained sales negotiator have a far greater chance of success, for the following reasons.

1. The heart! The buyer's initial objective is simply to get a feel for the property, asking themselves "could we be happy here?" In order to buy the property, they need to fall in love with it. During a first viewing, the last thing the heart needs is the seller highlighting small details that are not relevant and can be very distracting. The buyers might also be also keen to discuss their heartfelt plans for the property, which is embarrassing and difficult within earshot of the seller. Also the last thing the heart wants is a pushy seller trying to force a sale, just because the seller is so keen to sell.

2. The brain. The brain really kicks in on the second viewing. The heart has already booked a removal company following the first viewing, but the brain says "hey, not so fast - we need to see the property again - just to be sure!" So on the second viewing, the buyer is looking for reasons NOT to buy the property. Those small details that were irrelevant on the first viewing now become useful - unless they were unnecessarily "spent" on the first viewing. Also, the agent who accompanies the first viewing will have listened out for buying signals and objections that the seller might have missed, and which can be harnessed during the second viewing.

3. Understanding/empathy. A good negotiator will build a relationship with the buyer, understanding their needs, preferences, hopes, aspirations and potential areas of compromise. Armed with this knowledge the agent will not just "show" the property, but "explore" it enthusiastically, whilst demonstrating how it could fit with the buyer's lifestyle in the context of other properties the agent is also showing them. The seller on the other hand, has no understanding of the buyer and can only say "this is the bathroom"!
