Preparing an effective marketing plan and pricing strategy will help gain maximum exposure and the best price for your property.Pricing plays an important role with a number of factors to consider, such as the speed in which a seller needs to complete and the level of completion currently in the market place. We offer an independent assessment of your property carried out, in person by our experienced valuer, free of charge and without absolutely no obligation.
During the visit we explain how the market is performing, advise you of potential climate changes and offer advice and guidance on how to maximise your sale price. When suggesting a price we use our expertise, sold price data, recent activity on properties similar to your own and information gained from our continual market research and activity. If you are new to the business of selling property there will be plenty of opportunity after the appointment, to ask questions and discover more about the selling process and helping you in your decision in putting it on the market with us.
Effective marketing When you decide to sell, we will discuss various marketing plans and find the one best suited to you and property. At Smith & Friends Estate Agents we use the very latest technology and proven marketing techniques to promote your property. We advertise on all major property websites including Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket.
Your property will also appear on own website which is fully responsive for compatibility with smartphones and tablets.
Social media coverage through Facebook, Instagram, X formerly Twitter, Linked In, YouTube, TikTok and email campaigns and of course the options of a For Sale board with QR code to access our website quickly. The more exposure your property receives the wider audience you can expect to attract, giving greater choice of buyer.
Once instructed, our proactive team of sales professionals will immediately contact our database of registered buyers by telephone, e-mail and SMS text alerts. All potential buyers are pre-qualified and if the situation dictates, and upon your request, we will only put forward buyers suited to your requirements. For example, if in need of a quick sale in order to facilitate a purchase of your own, then those buyers with a property to sell but not yet on the market, or those who are part of a lengthy chain, may not present you with the best choice.
High quality photography, glossy property brochures (physical and digital versions) along with floor plans can help promote your property in the best possible way; however a seller can play their part and later in this guide we offer a selection of property presentation tips.
