If I Were Selling Your Home – Here's What I'd Be Doing Differently…

Let’s call it what it is: being on the market with no real progress is frustrating.

You’ve done the work: tidied the house, juggled schedules for viewings, dealt with vague feedback… and yet here you are, still waiting for the right buyer to appear.
If it feels like something’s missing, you’re probably right.
As a local expert working with sellers across Bicester, I’ve seen this situation more times than I can count. And if I were the one selling your home?
Here’s what I’d be doing differently, from day one!


✅ 1. I’d Have a Real Marketing Strategy (Not Just a Portal Listing)

Rightmove and Zoopla are tools, not the whole plan.
I’d build a marketing approach around your home’s unique selling points, targeted at your ideal buyer. That means lifestyle-driven copy, attention-grabbing visuals, social media exposure, and personalised outreach. Not just a “list it and wait” approach.
Every home deserves its own spotlight - not a template.



✅ 2. I’d Make Sure Viewings Are Qualified – and Meaningful

Not every viewing is a good viewing. If your current agent is showing everyone and their dog round without checking if they’re serious, it’s no wonder offers aren’t appearing.
I’d make sure every person stepping through the door is in a position to proceed and knows what makes your home special before they arrive.
It’s about quality, not just quantity.


✅ 3. I’d Give You Honest, Useful Feedback

You shouldn’t be left wondering what buyers really think. And you definitely shouldn’t be hearing “they’ve gone in another direction” for the fourth time with no detail.
If I were your agent, I’d keep you in the loop: clearly, regularly, and truthfully. Because feedback isn’t just information, it’s power. It helps us adapt, adjust, and sell smarter.


✅ 4. I’d Check In (Before You Had to Chase Me)

Let’s be honest, if you’re the one chasing updates, the balance is already off.
My job is to make sure you always feel informed, confident, and supported, not left guessing or Googling what happens next.



What I’d Bring to Your Move

As your local avocado property agent in Bicester, I bring:
  • A personalised plan built around your goals
  • Daily hands-on involvement - not hand-offs
  • Strategic marketing that actually targets buyers
  • Emotional intelligence (because selling a home is a big deal)
  • And, let’s be real - energy. The kind that doesn’t drop off after week two.

If you're starting to feel like your current agent has checked out... maybe it's time someone else checked in.

When you look back at the average rents achieved in Stevenage over the last five years, from 2021 through to 2025, a clear pattern emerges.

In this episode of The Investor’s Corner, we cut through the noise around landlord exits, rising regulation and headlines claiming buy-to-let is finished. Instead of speculation, we focus on what the UK rental market actually looks like right now, and where opportunities still exist.

Burghfield’s market has stepped into the new year with a calm and steady rhythm. There’s activity, there are buyers and homes are selling but we’re not in a market that rewards guesswork. Right now, it’s positioning, timing and a firm handle on local competition that shape the outcome.

If you’re Googling any of these right now: “Why am I getting viewings but no offers?” “What does buyer feedback really mean?” “Is my house overpriced or just badly marketed?” You’re not alone, and you’re right to ask. Because when buyers are walking in, nodding politely… and then vanishing or worse giving 'naff' offers, something’s misaligned.
