Free Verbal Valuation - Pricing Your Home For Sale
We will attend your property to provide a free verbal valuation. All of our agents have extensive property experience from the owner of the business through to all our sales staff. We will give you our assessment using comparable properties, and our historical data and we also use data from the Public Registry which is accessed on a weekly basis by us in the production of our Jersey House Prices page. Our data is extensive, and we have over ten years of Public Registry data which we have so far published back to the year 2008, and we have completed data to 2006.
Our database generally averages over 1800 active property searchers, some just starting and around 800 we describe as active. In general, over our ten years in business, we have found that there are always between 600 and 800 active searchers at any one time.
Sales Fees
Our sole agency sale fee is 1% plus GST. Our multi-agency fee depends upon the number of other agents already instructed. All our fees are subject to GST currently at the rate of 5% on the fee. You will receive our full advertising service for your property.
We really do not want a property to sit on our books with no one viewing it. It does us no good, and it does the Vendor no good. We always price using data and our extensive and experienced knowledge of the market.
Instruction
When you instruct us to market your property, we will also, where applicable, look at your contract, where appropriate, and make you aware at an early stage of anything which may be an issue in respect of the boundaries of your property.
We visit all properties listed for sale with us and have floor plans, and where applicable we attach site location plans. We photograph the property. We do not take photos using mobile phones. We currently use Panasonic Lumix and Canon Cameras and have an in-house photographer our marketing product is also internal so we have control over our advertising.
Our Website
Our website receives many visits per month including unique visits. Of course, all these visitors are not necessarily looking for a property at the moment, but it also helps spread the word. We conduct our marketing through Google and Facebook and the print media to advertise your home. The analytics for our website is Google Analytics. Our advertising campaigns are created by our in-house marketing and website team.
For users with Smart Phones and suitable mobile phones, our website is specifically designed for mobiles and tablets
Portals
We advertise on Places. The prime source for viewing however remains our website, Google and Social Media.
Photos
We use lots of photographs to tell the story of your home and its unique features.
360 Tour
Whether you are selling or letting we now include a 360 tour of the property hosted on our 360 portal.
Floor Plans
We include Floor Plans in our listings as standard and are currently adding as many as possible to our website. All new instructions will benefit from a floor plan. Floor plans are included in all our pricing plans.
Site Location Plans
We also include Google Site Location Plans in our listings.
Your property is automatically listed on our Facebook page unless you request in writing that it is not.
Our Photography
Rob Widlinski, our Photographer and Marketer, will photograph your property and one of our team members will specifically collect information for the floorplan, all in one visit. We take on average over 100 photos and then select the best of those photos for our website and marketing. We do not use mobile phones for our photographs and have specialist equipment and software.
Accompanied Viewings
We will conduct accompanied viewings around a property where the owner has granted us access to the property. The viewing will be arranged in conjunction with the owner of a property and will take place at a time which is suitable both to the owner and prospective viewer. We conduct viewings during the lunch hour and can also arrange to drive you to the viewing.
Open Viewings
We find open viewings only really work in a buoyant market. To meet customer demand, we are conducting we are always prepared to conduct open viewings throughout the year. We market these through our website Social Media and our own e-mailings.
Saturday Booked Viewings
Saturday Booked Viewings are not Open Viewings. We set aside a good part of Saturday for a few properties and will book viewings, so they are at a time to suit you. Our offices at 8b Spectrum are open on Saturdays on an appointment basis.
We arrange the viewings on Saturday before the weekend so give us a call if you would like to arrange a private viewing of the property on Saturday, no later than Friday morning if possible so we can give the owner as much notice as possible although we will try to accommodate your requirements.
Telephone
We have introduced call answering services from 8 am to 8 pm on weekdays, 9 am to 5 pm Saturdays and 10 am to 4 pm on Sundays.
We don't just wait for the telephone to ring. We maintain a constant dialogue with all applicants to see whether the properties we are sending them are suitable and also rather than discard the e-mail because we have visited the property we can explain the property to them and often obtain a viewing.
Agents
We have 6 working in our Sales and Lettings Team including the Directors and also have sales support staff. All our agents work as a team. Our aim is to sell your home.
Our team is from the Property Industry or Sales related Service industries.
Training
We conduct in-house and external training and the owner of the business has over 40 years of local property and conveyancing experience.
So you are dealing with Directors and Staff who are trained and experienced in Property.
