40 steps to get your property SOLD...

GETTING GOING

1. Signing our agreement will trigger the start of our service.

2. Pricing: we will look at competing properties sold and unsold, how yours compares and discuss this with you to make sure you are reassured on pricing. Pricing is a science for us. (Many agents using higher pricing to get an instruction, with no evidence to back up their opinion). We will look at how your property pricing fits in with portal brackets for maximum impact according to how buyers search. We know that pitching the price slightly too high can end up with a lower selling price taking much longer to achieve.

MAKING YOUR PROPERTY SHINE

3. One of our professionally trained photographers (no extra charge) will be booked to take photos at the best time of the day, helping dress rooms, moving items of furniture if necessary and often taking lifestyle photos.

4. We will also take specialised elevated photographs (no extra charge) showing off more of your property and its surroundings.

5. We will prepare a full free floor plan of your home with full room measurements.

6. We measure your garden; it surprises us why other agents don't.

7. We will prepare a full and comprehensive list of all the benefits of your home.

8. If leasehold we find out the length of lease, ground rent and annual maintenance. If on a private estate, we find out the estate fees.

9. We will check the Energy Performance Certificate is valid or arrange a new one with you.

10. Any immediate maintenance issues that may hinder a sale, we can discuss before launching to market. We have our own recommended tradesmen who offer a quality, good value service and we can organise this for you.

11. We find out as much information as we can about the property to answer any questions from buyers, instantly cutting delays.

SPREADING THE WORD

12. We will prepare an engaging write-up of your property with headline grabbing text to maximise click through rates on online advertising. More clicks = more viewings = more offers = choice of offers = better selling price.

13. We will prepare a large-format, magazine-style brochure on your property.

14. You will need to be 100% satisfied with all our sales brochures before we commence any marketing, if not we redo them until you are.

15. We will prepare all types of advertising for your home including digital and print. All our properties are still advertised in print (around 140,000 prints monthly) – you would be surprised how many people still flick through the local newspapers.
