About Bespoke Estate Agents, Reading

200 Brook Drive, Reading, RG2 6UB
Industry affiliations:
Proud to be different
How the journey began...

Long long ago, (well maybe just over 3 decades ago) Bespoke Estate Agents' founder, Mark Heneghan, MNAEA cut his first property teeth with his first sale, and was instantly bitten by the bug. Since those first heady days, Mark has gone on to prove himself an innovative and progressive high achiever in both independent and corporate agencies.

A renowned and respected authority within the property industry, Mark found his passion for perfection and his desire to reverse the trend towards standardising services, or as he saw it "a square peg, round hole service", stifled within the corporate agency environment. Therefore, whilst working as Area Director for one of the UK's most well-know household names in property sales and lettings, Mark decided to forsake its relative security, and leave the corporate world to set up the kind of agency he knew movers rightfully deserved. And so, Bespoke Estate Agents was born.

A model designed to work for clients first.

Modern agency practice has now become such a cookie cutter service, it can be almost impossible to differentiate between agents. Snap, list, view, and on to the next, with little time and effort dedicated to understanding clients' individual requirements, nor appreciation of what maybe an everyday occurrence for agents, but is a monumental life changing event for vendors and their buyers.

Bespoke Estate Agents break this 'do just enough' attitude and brings estate agency back to being about people, and what matters to them.

If it's easy, you're probably not doing it right.

We also know that creating success for our clients isn't about making life easy for ourselves. To be the very best and provide the level of service we believe our clients deserve means going that extra mile, and then adding an extra 10 on the end of it.

Afterall, why take snaps, when you can take glossy magazine quality photographs, breathtaking arial drone footage, and professionally curated video walkthroughs?

There's always a way to do better, and we're committed to finding it.

A service as unique as you and your property.

Bespoke Estate Agents know you deserve more when it comes to selling your home. Is it time you discovered it too?

We'd be delighted to help you enjoy a better way to sell, so please contact us to arrange a 100% confidential, no-obligation chat about your property requirements.
