Estate Agents.
Here is an area in which Shoparound can really help! Please do read this.The big question is not from whom or where you buy. Frankly, that is of little concern once you have seen your ideal home.
Of great importance though, is with whom you place your existing property for sale.
When we researched estate agents we did so from the point of view of prospective vendors. There are almost twenty agents in the Farnborough area and that's a lot of footwork! Several were less than impressive for a variety of reasons connected with presentation. Some seemed overtly concerned primarily with just securing the instruction, and there's nothing worse than getting the impression that whilst he/she is talking to you, an agent is mentally calculating the commission on the deal! Others placed emphasis on "gimmicks", such as "free" Home Income Packs, which is as silly as a furniture store claiming to give free delivery: it's all in the cost somewhere!
In seeking out agents whom we would trust to sell a property we looked for certain qualities. Integrity is obviously a must, but we also looked for simplicity, both in negotiating terms and in presentation. High on our list of priorities too, were expertise and sound local knowledge. Above all, we looked for the impression that an agent takes a pride in doing the job well and that he/she actually cares!
The following estate agents filled all our criteria. They have the Shoparound seal of approval and we are delighted to recommend them as true professionals who will "go that extra mile" in selling your property and meeting the requirements of your individual circumstances.
Based in Cove Road, Cove, Billingham Martin is owned and run by Directors, Cory Billingham and Darren Martin, two local agents with a wealth of experience in their profession. They are extremely "hands on" and their relaxed yet calmly efficient manner permeates the whole agency.As soon as one is greeted in this spacious, bright, airy office, one gets an immediate impression that nothing is too much trouble when it comes to working on behalf of the client. The people here will actually listen in order to fully understand one's individual circumstances before making any recommendations or attempting to talk terms.
One of the first things which struck us about Billingham Martin was the sheer simplicity of their presentation. From their sales particulars to their website, there are no unnecessary frills. What you see here is most certainly what you get. There is no point in spendi
