It’s all about YOU!
Selling your biggest asset can be stressful. Actually, it usually always is. There are many reasons why you might be looking to sell a property:
- Upsizing
- Downsizing
- First Time Sellers
- Selling an Investment
- Re-locating
- For Probate Reasons
- Divorce
We understand that there is so much to consider when selling a property and our team are here to hold your hand and be with you in your sale journey from start to finish.
The personal touch
Firstly, we’re real people. We’re here to understand your needs and the reasons why you’re looking to sell and give you advice specific to you and no one else. Building relationships and trust with all of our clients will help us be able to assist you in the best way.
As an example, these may be some of the questions we’ll ask:
- What are your work patterns?
- Do you have kids?
- Do you have pets?
- What are your move goals?
- Timescales?
- What would you like from us?
The answers will help us understand your needs and let us provide you with the perfect marketing plan for your property. Remember it’s all about you – we’re here to make it happen for you.
5* Marketing
In a fast-paced world – marketing is extremely important. We’re constantly reviewing our marketing for our clients, ensuring that you’re benefitting from the very best marketing strategies.
Did you know that 80% of us view everything on our phones? We make sure that all of our online marketing is mobile-friendly, making sure that your property is advertised and easily accessible on all major property portals.
We use professional photography, and floorplans and create agency led video tours.
Our social media pages are followed by 1000s and help to create more interest in your home.
Communication
In a fast-paced world where our industry is changing, we feel that the personal touch is being lost. We recently ran a poll asking the public what their biggest negative experience with estate agents was. The answer was unanimous – communication.
We’ve worked hard to gain a reputation as one of the best in communicating with our clients. You’ll never be lost, out of the loop or alone in the journey. From the moment we start working together – we’ll create a WhatsApp group with you so we’re always available.
Our sales staff will be giving regular updates on viewings and feedback and our sales progression team will hold your hand from the day you accept an offer to the day you hand over the keys. We’re with you every step of the way.
Zero Week Contract
When you market your home with an estate agent, they will make you sign a ‘sole agency agreement’. This is to authorise that agent to put your property on the market. What you may not know, is you’re also signing to give the agent the sole rights to sell your home for a period.
This can be 12,15, or up to 18 weeks!
This is for the agent's protection so you’re ‘Locked In’. If you’re not happy during this period then you can not leave and this is purely for the agents’ benefit – not yours.
At Howgates, we work on a strict zero-week contract policy. Although you will initially sign for us to market your home, there is no ‘tie-in period’.
In short, at any point, you can give us 24 hour’s notice. It’s that simple.
You see that our service knows no bounds. We want to impress you at every stage.
