If you are an estate agent based in the Cotswolds, we'd really love to chat!
We know that your goals are to provide a great service to your clients, to achieve faster sales, and maximise your sales prices. Did you know that we can help you do just that?
We are Sue and Claire and we've been helping our clients in the Cotswold to make the most of their homes since 2015. We genuinely believe that there is a great synergy between the services you provide as estate agents and the value we can offer to your clients.
Do give us a call or drop us a message to find out more, we'd love to pop in and see you, or meet you for a coffee to explore it further.
Here are some of the key ways we could help your clients achieve their house sale as well as helping them have a smoother and less stressful moving experience. Home Staging.
When you think of home staging you might think primarily of empty properties, and staging empty properties is certainly a service we can and do offer. However, did you know that we can also work with owner occupiers to help them enhance their home and prepare it for sale, even while they are still living in it?
We begin with a home staging consultation, where we visit the client in their home and do a full survey of it to discover its top selling points, as well as identify ways they could enhance it to achieve a faster sale. We then provide them with a detailed list of our of recommendations in order of impact, as well as offering them support with putting them into practice, if they need it. If this is a client of yours, of course we would also be very interested in your feedback on the property and your views on how it could be improved for sale.
Some of the things we might suggest (and can help implement) include:
Decluttering - disposing of or storing unwanted items
Organising - making the most of existing storage to create a streamlined feel
Reorganising the existing furniture to make better use of the space and showcase the best features of the house
Making the most of empty or unused rooms e.g turning a store room into a study
Decoration and styling - suggesting new colour and decor schemes
Organising any essential repairs or redecoration
"Dressing" the rooms with new artwork and accessories
Preparing the house for the professional photos
There are many potential benefits in staging a home, including:
1. Faster Sales
It's a fact that homes that are well presented tend to sell faster than those that are not. A well-staged home creates an immediate positive impression, and helps buyers to visualise themselves living in the space. An emotionally connected buyer is likely to be more committed and more likely to move quickly to secure the property.
2. Higher Selling Price
By presenting a property in its best possible light, staging can highlight its strengths and downplay any weaknesses, giving buyers the feeling that the house is well-maintained and ready to move into. Some studies have shown that staged homes can sell for up to 10% more than non-staged homes.
4. Broader Appeal
A staged home is designed to appeal to the widest range of potential buyers. By decluttering and depersonalising a home, we can help ensure it attracts more interest, increasing the number of viewings and the likelihood of receiving competitive offers.
5. Enhanced Marketing
Professional quality photography and video are increasingly crucial in today’s online-driven estate agency market. Staged homes photograph better, helping you achieve great visuals for your brochures or online listings.
6. Reducing Buyer Hesitation
When buyers view a home, any negative aspect can be a sticking point. Home staging can help address these concerns preemptively. By creating a welcoming and well-organized space, staging reduces buyer hesitation and helps them focus on the positives of the property.
7. Relationship Building with the Client
By suggesting home staging to your clients, you can position it as an additional value add service that you can offer to help them sell their home, just as you might offer other extras such as drone photography or video tours.
And by outsourcing the staging to us, you then don't have to have the awkward conversation with them about why it might not be selling as fast as they might like!
Home Moving
Alongside our home staging services, we also offer other services to help people with the process of moving house, which as you know, can be a stressful experience.
Our home moving services include:
Decluttering prior to the move (especially useful for downsizers)
Packing and preparing for the move
Unpacking and setting up the new home - we can do everything from setting up the kitchen to making beds and hanging pictures.
We understand the moving process well and have lots of experience of it.
We know that for many people it can be one of the most overwhelming experiences of their lives, especially if they have children, work from home, or are elderly.
Although the removal companies we work alongside are excellent and offer a great service, we think we take that a step further by helping people get organised in their new homes quickly, leaving them free to enjoy settling in. By helping clients with the detail of the move, and reducing their stress levels, we allow you to focus on the successful completion of the sale.
Again, a home moving service could be a great value add recommendation that you can make to your clients.
Let's talk
We'd love to explore with you how our services can dovetail with yours. Do drop us a line, or feel free to DM us or call us.
Understanding the services you offer and the way you like to work with clients will also be of assistance to us, as we are often asked for recommendations.
And if you work in a related field, such as property maintenance, executive relocation, or property search, we'd also love to chat so do please get in touch, we'd love to hear from you.
Best wishes
