Seriously why use me instead of a traditional agent?

I mean everyone loves estate agents don’t they? They all do the same thing right? BIGGER is better obvs?

Well here’s the headline -

On this sale I managed to go from start to finish in 74 days compared to 348 days to not complete. That means I could have sold it nearly FIVE times in the time the other agent had it.

You can see the marketing will be a huge difference in delivering a better price … oh that’s right, it’s not just time you save its money you make by dealing with me.

The truth is though by using me or a personal agent you have a hotline to someone who is putting their name on the line to deliver.

You get an answer at 20:00 at night, emails on a Sunday and voice notes after viewings.

Your buyer gets this too which means things are smoother

You get someone fighting your corner but all keen to get you to completion because if you don’t complete I don’t get paid!

You get one person talking to you throughout the process so there is accountability and focus to deliver. Unfortunately salaried staff don’t need to provide service or achieve a sale to get their payday (and that really matters!)

Going back to the marketing though, if you look at the photos used b the other agent it just screams a lack of care. You are just another number. How anyone thought that was acceptable or would generate a strong sale I don’t know.

There was zero videography, zero social media presence, zero drone photography, zero staged photos to show potential, zero launch strategies to ensure best price and limited portal presence.

But to sum everything up, you save time, make money and have less stress. That’s why you use me and not a traditional agent!

This property with one of the largest agents locally who also to have one of the largest brands nationally which should guarantee success but unfortunately as estate agency evolves it’s the personal agents who stand out.

Don’t risk your largest asset, make an informed decision and give yourself the best chance to complete on your sale.

If in doubt ….

Call me. I’m delightful.

🏡 Get a good agent and you’ll have an agent for life! 🏡

It was an emotional completion yesterday (ignoring the fact that Barclays played havoc with a completion ….)

If felt like the culmination of a journey.

My very first residential property listed under the Gareth Yates banner in 2023 led to me selling another property for the same family in 2024.

They put a lot faith in me and trusted that I could deliver for them.

But come 2026 I helped them view around 4/5 properties before they bought one off market with me when a chain collapsed.

So hopefully after two sales and purchase they don’t need me for a good few years.

HOWEVER when they are ready, I’m ready 🦸

Oh I also have to share my favourite review ever from the 2023 sale.

“Search no more, this is the one you want.
I once heard estate agents referred to as “shiny suited lizard people”, Gareth is the antithesis of this.

Gareth helped us sell our house in Gorton and throughout has been warm, responsive, genuine and considerate. He possesses a wealth of knowledge, as well as contacts for other reputable service providers, such as lawyers and surveyors, should you need them.
We really can’t recommend him highly enough.”

I believe we’re all asking ChatGPT what we would look like in the 80s ….

I know half you estate agents were around in the 80s 👀 so let’s save the water in these data centres and here’s what I actually looked like the 80s.

Climbing that career ladder young you see.

Five things I would do as an estate agent if I was house hunting in a new area :

1) Park up outside at 7am on and 8pm on a weekday and a weekend. Test the neighbourhood out and see what it’s really like at different times

2) Join the local Facebook community page and start interacting. You might find out some hot gossip (like can you trust the agent or which areas to avoid) 🐸 ☕️ . Just don’t let the Karens put you off.

3) Drive to work from the area and drive back. It might seem quiet but that right turn onto the main road may be a deal breaker

4) It’s boring but check the school catchments out. Just because you’re close doesn’t actually mean you’re in catchment. Don’t get caught out!

5) This one is my favourite … check Deliveroo and Ubereats. Imagine not being able to get sushi 🍣, pizza 🍕 or a decent curry 🍛!

Obviously there is plenty more of research to do (like the local boozer) but this is a great starting point to feeling the vibes of your new neighbourhood.
