What is your background?
I have lived and worked in the area all my life and been in the property business for 24 years, having been a partner at Corum for the last 3 years.
What are the main benefits of coming to an estate agent rather than using a fixed fee service or doing a private sale?
We believe that the care, experience and advice that we offer is second-to-none. We pride ourselves on solely offering estate agency services. In addition, all the staff are local and have personally viewed every property that we sell.
We are experts on the local area and focussed on offering a personal service to help clients get the best possible price for their property, and subsequently the quality of lifestyle that they desire.
My staff and I will look for opportunities to help clients — whether buyers or sellers — through the process, ensuring that everything runs smoothly to help keep them calm and minimise stress.
What steps do you suggest I take to be well organised when preparing to put my home on the market?
Tidy and declutter inside and out! Get into the corners of your house and look for items that are unused or broken, anything that hasn’t been used since you moved into your current home or things that have simply been outgrown.
Also consider whether the new property will be able to accommodate the furniture that you currently own. It can be annoying to pay for a sofa to be transported only to find that it is too big for your new living room!
Bringing in a professional organising firm can really help with the practical side of preparing the house for sale. They can assist with decluttering and will support you in deciding what to keep as you prepare to go to your new home. They can also give practical, hands-on help with packing and some, such as Better Organised, will also be able to take care of many of the administrative elements that are involved too. Corum can recommend local property maintenance businesses to help get everything looking its best before the marketing photos and videos are done.
How can I stay organised when the time to move is approaching?!
The key to a stress-free, organised and smooth house move lies in the preparation. Start as early as possible!
What do clients say about your service?
We offer friendly expertise and are delighted to often get referrals and repeat business from clients, and consistently receive positive feedback about our professionalism, effort, knowledge and advice. One client recently summed it up perfectly when she said that our pro-active and engaged approach meant the process went as smoothly as possible!
