HOW WE MARKET YOUR PROPERTY - Before, during and after your sale
At Spencer Kennedy we take the instruction to market our properties seriously and aim to provide a service which is thoroughly professional, successful and appropriate to your requirements. Our reputation in Dulwich Village and its surroundings underpins our confidence in being able to provide a service that incorporates far reaching twenty first century technology and a personal presence - both of which are second to none. This guide offers a clear and thorough outline of how Spencer Kennedy works during the entire process – from the first day of instruction to the moment of completion.
As soon as you instruct us to market your property we spring into action.
• Placing immediate notification that your property is for sale on our website’s 'Latest News' page
• Taking photographs both internally and externally
• Drawing up professional floor plans to include measurements and overall square footage
• Informing our current database of suitable applicants that your property is for sale This means that
• Your property will be prominent on the Spencer Kennedy Website with photographs and description within 12 hours - and will feature on all the leading internet portals including Rightmove, Zoopla and Prime Location, a few hours later.
• A prestigious brochure of photographs, floor plans and details will be available for distribution within a couple of days
• An advertisement is displayed in the window of our centrally located Spencer Kennedy office on the day of instruction
• Floor plans are added and a for sale board - should you wish - will be erected within 24 hours
Throughout the preparatory process we aim to be as unobtrusive as possible since we are aware that for most people selling their property is a major decision and sometimes a sensitive issue. Therefore, although we are ready to activate matters speedily, we also temper the pace of the process to suit the Vendor.
Spencer Kennedy utilises all the available tools with which to attract and secure the most appropriate buyer for your property. Repeatedly we find that the Vendor has a choice of offers and we are there to research, qualify and advise on the ultimate decision.
The Web
Spencer Kennedy are dealing daily with local, national and international enquiries from buyers and sellers. Our website www.spencerkennedy.co.uk receives approximately 120,000 hits per month and rising, providing the opportunity for all prospective buyers to view our properties by looking at details, photographs, floorplans and measurements.
Web Portals/Links
All properties marketed by Spencer Kennedy are also displayed on the most popular Web Portals including:
Rightmove, Zoopla and
Prime Location to name a few- and to ensure that your property cannot escape notice we also own 30 Dulwich related domains which have direct links to our website and we further employ Search Engine Optimisation technicians to maintain our standing on Page 1 of most google searches. This highly effective combination of the very latest technology and expert technicians ensures no stone is left unturned with the marketing of your
property.
Journals/Magazines/Sponsorships
Spencer Kennedy advertises in the widely distributed 'Living South' Magazine where we are regularly invited to offer editorial pieces for their news pages. We permanently hold the advertising space on the back page and use this to feature a different property each month. In addition we advertise on at least two internal pages each month. This enables us to devote particular attention to individual properties. We advertise in national newspapers where appropriate, and regularly sponsor local exhibitions, charities and events.
Viewings
We provide accompanied viewings by experienced staff – with access and appointment times to suit our vendors. We provide regular feedback and stay in close touch with our vendors with regard to their property and the conditions of the market.
Offers
When an offer is made on your property we aim to provide accurate information concerning the status of the buyer. We ask for confirmation of their ability to purchase from banks, accountants, financial advisors or mortgage brokers. Our intention is to do as much as possible to negotiate, on your behalf, a sound sale at the best possible price for you.
