Doing the same things, but expecting different results...

That is what I’m seeing in the housing market at the moment – and not just in Camberley.

Lots of homes listed for sale are sticking.

While it’s true to say that there are fewer active buyers around, the biggest reason why homes are not selling is the one-size-fits-all approach most agents adopt...

We work differently.

We lean into the individuality of every home we list, helping them stand out with best-in-class photography + tailored, targeted marketing that goes far beyond the “just put it on Rightmove” approach.

The outcome?

🔎 We find the right buyers, wherever they are (many via social media)
📈 We achieve higher prices in a shorter time.
🏡 We’ve agreed sales on all but one of our current listings.

We’ve got our fingers crossed that it’s finally coming home... 🏆 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 But when it comes to helping people move home, that’s something we’re much more confident about.

If your property has been sitting on the market longer than you’d hoped, it might be time for a fresh approach.
Because we only work with up to 🔟 homeowners at any one time, you’ll benefit from:

✅ Personal 1:1 service throughout (led by me)
✅ Best-in-class photography & videography, to help your home stand out
✅ A tailored marketing strategy that goes beyond simply listing on Rightmove

N E W B L O G 📢 How to sell your home in a buyer’s market (and get the best outcome)

The balance of power is with buyers right now – the stats don’t lie:
📈 The number of homes available for sale is at an 11-year high
📊 There are 5% more homes for sale than at this time last year
📉 Almost a third of existing listings have already seen a price reduction

But it IS possible to sell AND still achieve a good price

We know this as we have agreed sales on all but one of the homes we’ve listed so far in 2026

This is not a flex, but rather an example of where smaller independent agents have a big advantage right now

This is why...
❌ High street agents are built on volume models (some are even commissioned on listings)
❌ They stockpile properties for sale but spend little or no time marketing each
❌ They overvalue to win instructions, and then chip away at the price

✅ We only work with up to 10 homeowners at one time
✅ We create tailored, premium quality marketing materials for every home
✅ We use proactive, targeted strategies to find the right buyers and secure sales

Food for thought? Please keep us in mind if you or someone you know wants any estate agent advice now or in the future

📢 Our MP has confirmed that the much-loved Frimley Fuel Allotments is set to be lost and bulldozed to make way for the new Frimley Park Hospital.

Many local residents believe this is entirely the wrong location for a major new hospital development, and once this green space is gone, it’s gone forever.

Please sign the petition and share it far and wide. 🙏🏻 If we don’t speak up now, we will lose this valuable green space forever.

Protect the Frimley Fuel Allotments from development!

When the building where you’re selling a lovely apartment gets wrapped in scaffolding...
..it’s not ideal! 🚧🚧

BUT in this instance, there is only good news on what’s behind it! ☺️

Having been at Westminster Mansions in Camberley this week, I thought I’d take a few moments to record this video...

In it I explain what’s going on and why, for the benefit of any prospective buyers (or anyone else locally who’s interested).

🔗 If you want to see more of the apartment we’re selling (including what the exterior looks like without scaffolding!), head here on our website:

How to get the right buyers 👀 on your home

High street estate agents rely heavily on portals like Rightmove to sell 🏡 and they get lots of views that way.

But here’s the problem:
❌ Lots of people ‘sofa surf’ Rightmove every evening (it’s almost a national sport!)
❌ Most of them are not active buyers
❌ It’s also hard to stand out, with people ‘doom scrolling’ their way through lists of homes

The solution?
👉 Social media, used well, is a powerful strategic tool – and it’s something I leaned into very early on with Wellingtons...
👉 All our listings are also uploaded to Rightmove, Zoopla and other portals too (social media is an addition, not alternative)
👉 And socials are key to growing reach, and getting homes seen by the right people – especially in a buyer’s market like we have now

I’ve shared two examples here, demonstrating the power of a ‘social first’ strategy👇🏼
