Property Exposure

Maximising property exposure is essential as it gives a home seller the best possible chance of selling their property and getting the best price the market can deliver. Our job here is to put a client's property on as many screens and in front of as many eyes as possible, so we employ a specialist media team and experts in social media advertising to do this. Through our virtual tours and presenter-led videos, we then ensure that the buyers that we introduce to our client's properties understand the size, layout and position of the property, ahead of their viewing, meaning that only serious buyers, who understand the property fully book a viewing. Since employing these methods we have seen a significant reduction in the average number of viewings that it takes for our clients to agree a sale.
