This is probably the question most frequently asked at valuations, and it’s one we enjoy answering! In an area where sellers have an enormous choice of estate agents, both traditional high street and internet-only, single independents through to multi-national chains, and all at very different rates, we’ve found three vital factors that set Alexander Gibson apart from the competition:
Accurate and realistic valuations – A quick search on Rightmove will show properties near to you that have been on the market for six months, or a year, even several years! Maybe the seller had unrealistic expectations, possibly the estate agent has been over-enthusiastic with their valuation, but the simple fact is that if your property has been on the market for months then the asking price is too high. Alexander Gibson want to sell your property for you, not just list it, so we give well-researched and honest valuations that we know will lead to a sale.
Bespoke marketing that works – Our approach to marketing homes is very different to most agents, and has proven to work time after time. Every home is unique, so we tailor our marketing to suit the property. We’ll discuss options with you such as aerial photography and video, night-time photography, and video tours, then choose the best strategy to present your home to the right potential buyers. Our brochures are interesting, informative, and are very successful in encouraging potential buyers to contact us for more details or to make appointments to view.
Personal service and support from our first meeting through to completion and beyond – Alexander Gibson is proud to be a ‘small’ business, we provide an exceptional service to our clients that we simply couldn’t achieve if we were a high-volume agency. Because we can afford to spend more time on each sale, we can fully support our clients through the whole process, helping to deal with solicitors, surveyors, mortgage brokers, removal companies, and all the other people that can be involved in a sale. Often our clients are experiencing difficult times with bereavement, illness, or relationship breakdowns, we are always on hand to at least take away the worry of selling their home.
