"I am a Plymothian by birth, a father of 2 daughters and a son and recently a grandfather so I consider myself blessed". "On top of that I have been very fortunate to be able to build and grow our business in the city I love so much. I think Plymouth is a gem of a city which, in terms of location, culture and potential, still remains somewhat undiscovered and will at some point explode in terms of value". "Where else can you find a city with so much history that has the ocean on one front, a national park on the other, be a part of Devon but the gateway into Cornwall and have the South Hams on your doorstep. It really is the best place to live".

Outside of work Mark loves to socialise, has a close group of friends and tries to keep himself fit and healthy by engaging in many sporting activities including downhill mountain biking, scuba diving and kayaking.

How do we achieve this?

A back-to-basics approach is the foundation of our business, providing professional and honest valuations with high-quality presentation and marketing. We have an in-depth knowledge of our properties and the areas we cover with expert negotiators ensuring you achieve the best possible price for your home. Time is spent qualifying our buyers ensuring that funds are available, mortgages are in place and chains have been properly checked. Our team provides a thorough sales progression service once a sale has been agreed. This can be the most important part of the process and is often overlooked, but at Julian Marks we take this responsibility very seriously and your sale will be carefully looked after through to completion.

Our Sales Process

A well trodden path for Julian Marks

bringing comfort and reassurance to our clients

STAGE ONE - Valuation

We provide a free, no obligation valuation service throughout the Plymouth area. Our aim is to provide you with a true reflection of your property's value and not to unrealistically enhance it in a bid to obtain your instructions dishonestly. We have vast experience across the city.

STAGE TWO - Instruction

Once we are instructed to sell your home we will create full property particulars to include high quality photographs, floor plan and EPC together with a punchy description in order to enhance your home for prospective purchasers.

STAGE THREE - Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

This is undertaken by James Wildman our in-house Domestic Energy Assessor who will make contact with you to arrange an appointment. He will also produce the architectural floor plan.

STAGE FOUR - Live Marketing

Once we are happy with the sales particulars and photographs we will go live, very often within 24 hours. Our properties are advertised on all the major property portals such as Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket and Primelocation. We have an extensive database which is updated daily and your property will be matched against these buyers on a regular basis to ensure that no stone is left unturned in our bid to find you the best possible buyer.

STAGE FIVE - Let Us Take The Strain

At Julian Marks we believe our personal service is second-to-none and unlike many other agents we accompany all viewings and provide feedback within 24 hours.

STAGE SIX - Agreeing A Sale

Once offers are made and a sale has been agreed we assist you in choosing the right solicitor to ensure a smooth sales process through to completion. When a buyer is found, comprehensive checks are made to ensure that we see proof of funds, a mortgage agreement in principle and full chain checking if applicable. A thorough investigation at this stage can highlight potential problems before solicitors are formally instructed.

STAGE SEVEN - Progressing The Sale

Once a sale has been agreed Julian Marks Estate Agents has a thorough after-sales service. We liaise with all parties associated with the sale - often going the extra mile where necessary to avoid any hiccups (usually caused by poor communication). Our abortive sale percentage is much lower than the national average because a great deal of care is taken throughout this process.
