Once viewers have looked round, it’s really important that your estate agent contacts them and listens carefully to their comments.

Then an honest conversation between you and your estate agent should take place. Our attitude is that our clients need all the feedback - good comments and bad comments are equally important.

If several viewers comment on an issue which is putting them off from offering, we will discuss this with you.

Our aim would be to look at the possibility of solving the problem or at the very least, we would suggest how to minimise its impact on viewers and the whole sale process.

Upfront, honest and open conversations may well create a practical solution.

If you would like any help in preparing your home for sale, please call us on 0141 776 2621 and we would be happy to help you avoid the pitfalls before viewers step inside your home.

Move-in homes are in high demand as building costs have increased in recent years.

This amazing main bedroom with an unusual window formation was part of an absolutely beautiful, architecturally redesigned home just outside Lenzie - a show home with character and the bonus that the new owners didn't have to spend funds upgrading it.

If you're thinking of selling your home this Spring but you're not sure whether to carry out some improvements before marketing or just leave it to the new owners to upgrade, we'd be happy to discuss all the pros and cons.

Sellers often want to wait until Spring before starting to market their home - it has always been the traditional time to sell. The dark days make way for longer daylight and gardens begin to waken up.

🤔But here is the issue - if everyone thinks this way, what actually happens?

👉When Spring arrives, there will be more homes for buyers to choose from which means more competition for sellers to be up against.

🏠Many purchasers are already searching for their next home but with fewer properties currently being advertised, their attention is more focussed and they are serious about making that vital decision to buy.

Sometimes the strongest position is to go to market before the rush.

📞We're here to help you with your next move - please just give us a call so you can get ahead of the Spring rush.

"Friends highly recommended Mike Smith Properties when selling our church manse, and I'm so grateful we took their advice! From start to finish Christine provided a very professional service, but always with her very personal approach. We were guided through the whole process with care and efficiency, taking into account the requirements of selling for a charity. Nothing was too much trouble and Christine was very flexible in her working hours to suit the viewers and keep us up to date with progress. Christine's sound advice and recommendations helped us achieve the best outcome. It was a pleasure to work with Christine and I would have no hesitation in contacting her again. Thank you!" Fiona, Lenzie

Our clients' opinions of us really do matter! We constantly ask ourselves:-
🤔Are they happy with the price we negotiated?
👌Did they feel looked after?
☎️Kept up to speed with the twists and turns?
✨Did they feel we had their best interests at the fore front of everything we did?

Those are some of our aims - every day - for every client who trusts us to look after their sale - and it's so encouraging (and a great way to end the week😃) when we get a lovely review like this. Thank you so much, Fiona.

We absolutely love our dog, Tilly. She brings us lots of fun, comfort, and admittedly, muddy paws quite a lot of the year round. But we know having a dog in a home which is to be sold can have its issues.

So what is the dilemma?

Not everyone is keen on dogs even if they look cute in our eyes. Some viewers may be afraid of them or allergic to them, or just distracted by them being in your home whilst they are looking around.

When it comes to working with clients who share their home with a dog and who are about to start marketing, we have to have an upfront and honest conversation about their beloved pooch. Put bluntly - dogs and viewers don't mix well.

So what is the solution?

It's quite straightforward:-

🏠 Take time to deep clean your home to get rid of any dog odours and dog hairs

🐾Have carpets and upholstery professionally cleaned

👉 Repair any chew marks or scratches

👌 Remove food and water bowls, crates, dog beds and pet toys from view during the photo and video shoots and also before viewers arrive

☀️ Open your windows and let fresh air through your home before viewings. Non dog owners can be much more aware of dog smells than us dog owners

🌼 Tidy the garden and remove any dog mess before viewings

🐕 And most importantly, try to arrange for your dog to be out of your home when you are showing viewers round.

If you follow these suggestions, you'll allow viewers to relax and enjoy their viewing without the distraction of your dog. And then hopefully, offers will come in and your dog can be welcomed back into the family fold🙂

If you're looking for any advice on getting your home organised for sale, we'd be happy to help you. Please do call us on 0141 776 2621.

Being involved in estate agency isn't all about marketing, viewings, Closing Dates and keys. It's about walking into people's lives. We see their circumstances - good and bad. There can be excitement. There can be sadness. There can be people who are about to leap into amazing new adventures. So many reasons for moving. Yes, moving is about bricks and mortar and sale prices but it's also about people and their emotions. That's why we try our best to be emphatic and supportive whatever the circumstances and hopefully this will make the sales process that little bit easier.

We've just had the privilege of helping our clients, Alison and Allan, sell the family home and it was a lovely surprise to receive these beautiful flowers! Thank you so much🙂
