A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN ESTATE AGENT 🏡

People often ask me what a typical day in the life of an estate agent looks like.

The truth is… there isn’t one!

Every week is completely different, and being an estate agent is about so much more than listing properties and doing viewings.

There’s the marketing, exposure and networking — meeting buying agents, talking to potential buyers, connecting buyers with sellers and constantly looking for the right match.

Then there’s the conveyancing side, which is a huge part of my job. Liaising with buyers, sellers, solicitors and surveyors, keeping everyone informed and, most importantly, keeping the sale moving.

And sometimes, that means taking control when things get difficult.

Buying and selling a home can be incredibly emotional. Frustrations run high, tensions build and yes… I do get shouted at occasionally! 😂

My job is often about managing those emotions, finding solutions, easing tensions and keeping everyone focused on getting to completion.

Then there are market appraisals, meeting sellers, viewing properties for clients and keeping up with what’s happening in the local market.

And because I’m independent, I’m available seven days a week, including evenings and weekends.

So, what does a week look like?

No two days are the same — and that’s exactly why I love what I do. ❤️

Sometimes, you have to experience the difference.

Two years ago, I lost a listing to a local high street agent.

Since then, the sellers have used two more estate agents — three agents in two years.

But the marketing never really changed. Same photography, same portals, same approach.

They were changing agents, but not changing the strategy.

Today, we had a conversation and they admitted they got it wrong. They should have instructed me in the first place.

And honestly? I don’t mind.

People make different choices for different reasons. There are no hard feelings.

So if you didn’t choose me the first time, don’t ever feel embarrassed about coming back.

I’ll always be here, I’ll always communicate, and I’ll always look for ways to think outside the box.

Changing the agent isn’t always the answer. Sometimes, you need to change the strategy. 🏡

🏡 THE 10 MOST PRESTIGIOUS & EXPENSIVE STREETS IN FALMOUTH 🌊

Falmouth continues to be one of Cornwall’s most desirable coastal towns, with stunning sea views, beautiful period homes, generous gardens and some truly exceptional properties.

Here are my Top 10 streets that stand out for prestige, lifestyle and property values:

🥇 Cliff Road – Exceptional sea views, large period homes and close to Gyllyngvase Beach.

🥈 Melvill Road – Beautiful period properties, sea views and a highly sought-after central location.

🥉 Boscawen Road – Large character homes and some of Falmouth’s highest-value properties.

4️⃣ Gyllyngvase Road – Beach proximity, sea views and substantial detached homes.

5️⃣ Pennance Road – Larger detached houses, generous plots and a superb position towards Swanpool.

6️⃣ Castle Drive – A desirable residential setting with larger properties and lovely views.

7️⃣ Tredova Crescent – Quiet, prestigious and home to some impressive properties.

8️⃣ Stratton Place – An exclusive feel with some high-value individual homes.

9️⃣ Gyllyngvase Hill – Elevated position, sea views and within easy reach of the beach.

🔟 Spernen Wyn Road – Larger homes in an attractive and highly desirable residential setting.

✨ Of course, street alone doesn’t determine value. The exact position, views, plot, parking, condition and size of the property can make a huge difference.

Falmouth really does offer something special — from panoramic sea views and beautiful period homes to some of the most sought-after coastal locations in Cornwall.

Social media is an absolute weapon when it comes to selling your home. 📲🏡

If your estate agent isn’t using social media to actively market your property, you have to ask yourself why.

Your home shouldn’t simply appear on Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket and then disappear into the background. Modern estate agency is about creating maximum exposure and reaching buyers wherever they are.

For me, that means social media, property portals, my CRM database, buying agents, investors, builders, architects and my own network.

It’s also about thinking outside the box. I’ve had buyers come through a property because they originally enquired about a completely different home, or even a different coastline, and they ended up buying the property because they simply fell in love with it.

That’s the power of exposure.

My job is to get your property in front of as many potential buyers as possible.

Social media isn’t an optional extra anymore. It’s a key part of selling your home.

If your property is only appearing on Rightmove, ask your agent: “Where else are you marketing my home?”

Because maximum exposure means maximum opportunity. 🔑

🚩 Warning signs to look out for during a property transaction…

There are a few things that can really start to raise concerns during a sale. Not sticking to agreed timelines, being unable or unwilling to provide proof of income or funds, or simply not appearing motivated to move forward.

Another big warning sign is when people start dragging their heels or communication becomes difficult. If calls and messages aren’t being returned, it can quickly create delays and uncertainty for everyone involved.

And then there’s changing expectations or changing things halfway through the process. When what was originally agreed suddenly starts to change, it can make a straightforward transaction much more complicated.

As an estate agent, my job is not just to sell the property — my job is to protect my client’s interests throughout the whole process. That means spotting the warning signs early, asking the right questions, communicating openly and making sure my client is fully informed before making important decisions.

Ultimately, it’s about getting the right buyer, with the right commitment, through to completion as smoothly and securely as possible.

September is the busiest month in property. Once the schools go back and the holidays end, a wave of new homes hits the market and buyers return with real intent. Here is what the smart sellers know. The homes that sell fastest in that rush are the ones that got ready in August. The photos taken while the garden still looks its best. The little jobs finished before the scramble. The pricing conversation had early, with a clear head. If you want to move this autumn in Falmouth the work starts now, in the quiet. Turn up in September already prepared and you sell into the wave. Turn up unprepared and you are just another late listing hoping to be noticed.
