Spring in to Action

Spring in to Action!
 
Markets are forever in flux. So our handling of markets must be flexible.
 
We can buy, hold or sell in the stock market depending on conditions. In a fruit and vegetable market we can buy the freshest produce early in the morning at the full price. Or we can purchase what no one else has bought at a cheaper rate in the late afternoon.
 
The property market is also in constant flux. There are occasions when there is a lot of stock and buyers have so much choice they can take their time and sometimes make low ball offers.
 
But we are not in that market now. In many areas around the UK and specifically more locally to our offices, it is quite the opposite. Figures show that generally there are twice as many buyers as there are properties to buy. This is hard enough for buyers. But, in hotspot areas, there are many more buyers per property – result, a feeding frenzy.
 
So forget a leisurely, late evening, glass-in-hand, browse through your preferred property portal. It is not going to help very much. Because by the time a property gets onto a portal nowadays, the early bird will have already caught its worm.
 
Serious buyers behave differently in this sort of market. They know they need to find a property before it ever reaches a portal. And the best way to do this is to get to know us, their local independent estate agent, so they can be first in the queue for the pick of the properties. We have an incredible database of highly motivated buyers in great positions waiting for their dream home to come along and have successfully matched such buyers to their dream home, often without relying on the portals.
 
You see, as the experienced local agents, we know and understand the market best. Years of working in our area mean we know local people and – crucially - often hear first when someone is about to make a move. We can then carefully match those who want to sell with those serious buyers we have at our fingertips. Property portals can’t do that. With the national fall through rate been exceptionally high, these buyers that we are successfully able to introduce pre-marketing, generally perform incredibly well, and more importantly, to our timescales and agenda.  Vital in such a hot market.
