☎️ I was called in to help sell a delightful mid terraced cottage in the centre of Richmond which had been on the market for 14 months and even though it had sold both sales fell apart.
💸 With valuations around the £275,000 - £300,000 mark the seller was keen to get it sold and ideally wanted as much as possible but was doubtful after so long on the market. The abandoned sales had been agreed at £285,000.
🏡 After 10 years of family life in this home and they just wanted to get the best possible outcome and were now very tired of the experience and were starting to feel like it would never sell. They had already moved out and the house was costing them money and falling into disrepair.
💔 The property felt unloved and the marketing did not show why you anyone would buy this home or what was so special about it but we knew that was how it was going to be sold. This home looked at our towns most treasured castle from every window! It was a stones throw from the market place and it enjoyed two rare commodities in this location, parking and a garden!
👉 We got to work and using The Love Property Set to Sell plan we devised the best strategy to get this property moving and to generate the highest level of interest in it.
👍 We took our time and made sure everything was perfect from our on site videos, our social media strategy and the most interior photography taken by our specialist photographer. We added virtual furniture as it was now empty and it is always difficult to visualise a home without.
🏆 We had to wait until the previous agents contract notice period finished and launched our plan immediately after. We gathered together some interested buyers and even did some evening FaceTime viewings and believe it or not that was where our buyer came from! A FaceTime viewing, in fact they only saw the house in person 7 weeks later on the day before exchange!
💥 Our plan worked exactly how it was supposed to and within days we had not only sold the property for £290,000 (£10,000 over the asking price) after some excellent negotiations by us and with a reserve list of 7 other buyers, giving our seller security, even though they weren’t needed.
😅 A great example of how targeted marketing works and a very happy seller has a great experience after a long and very tiring time...
This is what the seller had to say

“I recently put my family home on the market with Love Property, incredibly I accepted an offer over the asking price in 48 hours. This company brings a fresh, innovative approach to house selling. I watched a live video of my house on Facebook and it looked amazing, their use of lighting is very affective and virtually staging my empty house was a great idea. Their after sale team are extremely good at keeping you posted with the whole procedure. Love Property are super professional and I was delighted with the result, service and the whole procedure.”
