About Avocado Property, Covering South East

Covering South East

Much like a version of how 'real estate' works in the US, the avocado brokerage guarantees that every client will directly work with the business owner. Each partner agent becomes your personal agent and is committed to working with a small exclusive amount of clients.

Our agents conduct the initial valuation, create the bespoke marketing campaign, film your property video, conduct all the viewings, negotiate each offer on your behalf, and personally handle the legal process. Just you and us.

We're a group of fun, passionate people on a mission to create an enjoyable experience all round. If we didn't, we'd be wearing suits and leaflet dropping! Not that there's anything wrong with that, we just happen to know there's a better way!

The impact of this moment in time isn't lost on us, so whether you need us on hand to guide you through your exciting purchase, hold your hand through daunting negotiations or celebrate with you as we hand over your new keys, don't worry, we've got your back.
