Most agents only post the wins

Sold in a week
Multiple offers
Happy clients
Big smiles next to a board

And look, I get it

I’ll celebrate the good stuff too

But not every move goes perfectly

Recently, we had a situation where someone wanted to buy a home we were selling

They weren’t on the market yet, so we moved quickly

Valuation done
Strategy built
Photos sorted
Video done
Live within days

Honestly, we gave it a proper push

But it didn’t land

One enquiry in two weeks
No viewings
And the home they wanted ended up going to someone else

Not ideal

Not the result anyone wanted

But this is where I think estate agency needs to be more honest

Because when things don’t go to plan, you have two choices

Protect your ego

Or protect the client

We had the honest conversation

They weren’t happy with where things were

So we called it

No drama
No guilt trip
No locking them into a contract they didn’t want to be in

To be fair, I think holding someone hostage in a long agency contract when they’re clearly unhappy is ridiculous

A contract shouldn’t matter more than doing the right thing

That’s what we’re really about

Honest advice
A clear strategy
Proper support

And enough flexibility to put the client first

Even when it doesn’t make the neatest marketing story

If you’re thinking about moving and want to know where your value really sits, book a market appraisal

No pressure

Just clarity before you make a big decision

All the best

Calling this place a “four-bed semi” didn’t do it justice

Because once you were inside, especially in the garden, it felt like a detached home

Private
Spacious
Not overlooked
A proper hidden gem

That’s why video mattered so much

Photos show rooms
Video shows feeling

As part of our Gold Package, we created a walk-through tour and shared it across social media

On Facebook alone, it got over 30,000 views

And it wasn’t just views for the sake of it

It was friends tagging friends
Family tagging family
People saying, “You need to see this.”

That’s the power of social media

Rightmove catches active buyers

But social media catches passive buyers

The people who aren’t searching yet
The people who gave up last year
The people who know they need more space, but haven’t started looking properly

A strong video can stop them mid-scroll

And that can lead to real viewings, real offers, and a real result

This one is now sale agreed

Putting a house online and hoping is not a strategy

Proper marketing is

That summer house is more than a shed at the end of the garden

Plenty of space to use as a gym, home office, bar or maybe all of them in one

3 bed semi in the crofts

Is this your new home?

Dm for a viewing

How many pubs and grubs are within 10 mins of this flat?

A lot

And we didn’t even go to the highstreet

This ground floor flat is available for viewings so drop me a dm to book

If you think all town centre flats feel the same, think again

This ground floor flat on Fore Street blends period character with a fresh modern finish

Just five minutes from both the Marina and the High Street

I did not expect my biggest takeaway from a property conference to start with “What’s for dinner?”

Phil M Jones was speaking about language and how small changes in wording can completely change the outcome of a conversation

He gave this simple example

Your partner walks in and asks, “What’s for dinner?”

Most of us panic a bit, start guessing, throw out a few random ideas and hope one lands

But instead, he said ask better questions:
“What did you have for lunch?”
“How hungry are you right now?”

Such a small shift

But suddenly you are not guessing
You are understanding

And honestly, that really hit home for me because estate agency is no different

People think this job is all about houses, valuations and negotiating deals

And yes, those things matter

But underneath all of that, it is really about people making big life decisions and not wanting to get them wrong

It is about understanding what really matters
What they are worried about
What they are hoping for
What the right move actually looks like for them

That was my biggest takeaway from the week

We might be a small local business, but we are part of the biggest real estate company in the world, learning from some of the best operators out there and bringing that knowledge back to the people we serve here

Being local should mean personal

Not limited

More homes. More competition

We’ve now got 3,052 homes on the market after 241 new ones last week alone, the highest weekly jump since last April

And the effect is already showing…
141 price reductions in a single week
The highest since October

That usually tells you one thing:
pricing properly matters more than ever

If your home hits the market too high right now, buyers have plenty of other options
And once you miss that early momentum, it can get expensive

If you’re thinking of moving and want to know where your home really sits in today’s market, drop me a message
