Selling your home
How we sell your home
We use a wide range of promotional methods to make sure that your property is seen in the best possible light to capture its biggest possible audience – and achieve the best possible price. When you become a Sparks Ellison customer, you will benefit from all of the below.
Your property brochure
Once you come on board with us, we'll create a high-quality, dedicated brochure solely for your property. This full colour document will show internal and external shots of your property, detailed floor plans and maps showing the surrounding area of your home. Our brochures really stand out from the crowd, and are both informative and appealing to customers. In short, it’s everything your potential buyer will need to know about your property in one impressive package.
Local advertising
It's a known fact that over 70% of people who move house do so within the same area. We regularly advertise in local press, and are the only estate agents in Chandlers Ford to take whole or double page spreads in the Southern Property Advertiser and Compass magazine. What does this mean for you? That your property is seen by more people, more of the time. Our adverts follow the distinct look of the rest of our brand, and we always take appropriate ad space so our details feature big images and large, spacious property details, meaning that they really stand out from the crowd – crucial in this saturated market.
Our website
We're very proud of Sparks Ellison online. Since its launch, it's become one of the main sources of enquiries that we receive, and gets thousands of hits every month. We carefully create online profiles for your property that reflect every bit of the quality of our printed materials, and gives site visitors a broad range of information and images of your property. Having your property featured on www.sparksellison.co.uk means that you’ll get national and global advertising, 24 hours a day. We’re also linked with www.rightmove.co.uk, the UK's number one property website.
The Sparks Ellison office
Our office is ideally located in the centre of Chandlers Ford, and its strong presence means it's an eye catcher for everybody that walks past it. One of our key promotional items is a 40" LCD screen, which continuously showcases the properties on our books. This is in addition to more traditional, paper-based property details, which are also featured in our office. Our surroundings are bright, spacious and inspiring, and we firmly believe that our appearance is a reflection of the standards of our business and the excellent quality of our staff.
Proactive selling
Nothing frustrates us more than seeing someone do the job that we do, and not do it professionally, passionately or well. Upon instruction from you, we immediately start cross-referencing the many buyers on our books to search for possible matches. We'll then call and email a shortlist of candidates to encourage them to view your property. We will prepare the particulars of your property, and once you’ve approved them, we'll send them out on your behalf. We’ll organise a window display for you, put up a For Sale board, register your property on www.sparksellison.co.uk, www.rightmove.co.uk and on our LCD screen, and put it in the earliest edition of local press we can. Your property will continue to be advertised in this way regardless of how long it's been on the market. You can be sure that we’re doing everything we possibly can to sell your property, and we’re always at the end of the phone for any queries you have.
Viewings
It's our job to sell your house for you, so let us shoulder the responsibility of carrying out viewings on your property. Viewings are time consuming and take a good deal of energy to perform well, and that's what we're here to do. Having done literally thousands of viewings, we know exactly how to best sell the assets of your home, and how they compare with the rest of the market. It’s common knowledge that buyers can feel uncomfortable with vendors present at viewings, as they feel they can’t be honest and open about what they really think of the property. So take some time out and do something you enjoy whilst we do our job, and we’ll feedback every comment made on your property as quickly as possible.
Regular updates
Communication is everything, and we understand that there's nothing more frustrating than developments happening and you not knowing what’s going on with the sale of your home. That's why we keep in constant contact with you to let you know up-to-the minute news regarding the status of your property. You can be sure that you’re constantly in our thoughts, and we’re always discussing strategies on how to improve our selling methods. In the unlikely event that your property is just not selling, we’d be more than happy to arrange a meeting to discuss further marketing opportunities with you.
Home Finder
Are you struggling to find your dream home? We offer a free of charge Home Finder service that can help find the property for you. Just give us a few simple details of what you're after - what area, even what road you want to live on - and we'll start the search to find your ideal home match.
