Choosing the Right Estate Agent | Avocado Property Client Testimonial

Join Tom as he shares his journey up the property ladder with Avocado Property. Discover how our agents, Will & Mike, used modern marketing and WhatsApp communication to ensure an stress-free move. Learn the importance of communication, local knowledge, and personalised service in real estate.

The journey of moving up the property ladder over the past decade is a testament to the Avocado way. Utilising modern marketing techniques and efficient WhatsApp communication, our dedicated partner agents, Will & Mike, ensured a seamless move.

From their first semi-detached project to their most recent move, the client discusses the challenges faced and the motivation behind their decisions. He emphasises the importance of communication, local knowledge, and personalised service in choosing the right estate agent.

Here's a closer look at the moving home journey:

The Goal and the Plan
Starting on the property ladder about ten years ago, the family began with a semi-detached project, which they successfully renovated and sold for good profit. Their ambition led them to another project in Little Sandhurst, a four-bed detached house that they also renovated and added significant value to. However, they outgrew this home and felt it was time to move on.

Facing Challenges
The biggest challenge was the volatile market, with changing prices and fluctuating mortgage rates. The uncertainty made it difficult to determine a good price for their property. Despite these challenges, they remained motivated to move and find a home that better suited their needs.

Cue Will and Mike
The Client highlights the significant difference with working with Will and Mike compared to previous agents. Their hands-on approach, consistent communication, and local expertise were invaluable. Will and Mike's use of WhatsApp for updates and direct access ensured support and information throughout the process.

The Personal Touch
Appreciating the personalised communication and direct access to Will and Mike, the frustration of dealing with a high-street branch was eliminated. The modern approach of setting up a WhatsApp group for all communications was a game-changer, making the process smooth and efficient.

Advice for Buyers and Sellers
Tom advises having an agent who is communicative and knowledgeable. He emphasises the importance of good marketing to attract potential buyers and warns against chasing the top price without doing proper research. The experience with Avocado Property showed the value of honest pricing and personalised service.

The latest Autumn Budget brings important news for homeowners and investors, with changes to stamp duty, increased funding for affordable housing, and significant cladding safety upgrades.

There was some important small print in this year’s budget that has largely gone unnoticed. The 2% hike in stamp duty rates for people purchasing a second property was in most of the headlines but what was not was the temporary stamp duty cuts not being extended beyond March 31st next year. Watch the video to see my full breakdown of the impacts.
