If We Were Selling Your Home – Here's What We'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 local experts working with sellers across Caversham and the surrounding villages, we’ve seen this situation more times than we can count. And if we were the ones selling your home?
Here’s what we’d be doing differently, from day one!


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

Rightmove and Zoopla are tools, not the whole plan.
We’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. We’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.
We’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. We’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 we were your agent, we’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. We’d Check In (Before You Had to Chase Us)

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



What We’d Bring to Your Move

As your local avocado property agents in Caversham and the surrounding villages, we 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.

You might be Googling things like: • “What should my estate agent be doing to sell my house?” • “House on Rightmove but no viewings” • “How do I change estate agents if I’m not happy?” And here’s what I’d say to your agent, the things I know sellers are thinking but don’t always say out loud.

Would it surprise you that of the 10.94 million homes that have left UK estate agents books since January 2019, only 6.33 million (or 57.86%) sold and moved. The other 4.61 million came off the market unsold. This is the extent of the sellability issue.
