How Avocado Property’s Unique Approach Helps You Find the Right Home
The Science Behind Decision-Making in Property
When it comes to buying or selling a home, most people assume they know exactly what they want from the outset. However, as renowned marketing expert
Rory Sutherland suggests, human decision-making is far more complex than we think.
Sutherland, a behavioural economist and Vice Chairman of
Ogilvy UK, specialises in
marketing psychology—understanding
why people make purchasing decisions and how businesses can improve the experience. He argues that
our impatience often limits our ability to make the best decisions because we prioritise speed over discovery.
At
Avocado Property, we embrace this concept. We are not just estate agents—we are
marketing specialists dedicated to finding buyers their ideal home, while ensuring sellers attract the right audience for their property. By combining
cutting-edge marketing strategies with a
human-led, relationship-driven approach, we create a property journey that is
insightful, personalised, and ultimately more successful.
Why Traditional Property Searches May Be Holding You Back
Many buyers begin their search using
property portals like Rightmove and Zoopla, applying filters based on location, number of bedrooms, and budget. This seems logical—but it often results in missed opportunities.
Why? Because people don’t always know what they truly want until they start viewing properties. Search filters create a rigid selection process, meaning buyers may overlook hidden gems that don’t match their initial criteria.
- Buyers often adjust their budget and expectations based on what’s available in the market.
- Life circumstances change—such as needing an extra bedroom for a new baby or an elderly relative moving in.
- Buyers initially set preferences that don’t align with what truly feels right once they start viewing properties in person.
How Avocado Property Helps You Search Smarter, Not Just Faster
Unlike traditional agents, our self-employed Avocado Partners take time to truly understand your needs, lifestyle, and evolving priorities. We recognise that home buying is not just about ticking boxes—it’s about finding a property that genuinely works for you.
1. The Heads-Up Property Alert System – A Smarter Way to Search
Most property search tools are static. Our
Heads-Up Alert System allows buyers to
evolve their search criteria over time, adjusting preferences as they refine what they’re looking for.
- If mortgage rates shift, you may need to adjust your budget.
- If certain properties in your preferred area aren’t available, you might consider widening your search.
- If your personal circumstances change, you may suddenly need an extra bedroom or home office.
This system ensures that buyers aren’t restricted by outdated search filters, helping them discover properties they may not have originally considered—but which could be the perfect fit.
2. Beat the Portals – Get Ahead of Rightmove and Zoopla
One of the biggest frustrations for buyers is finding a home they love, only to realise it’s already under offer by the time they book a viewing. That’s why Avocado Property offers early access to properties before they hit Rightmove or Zoopla.
- Our Beat the Portals strategy gives buyers an exclusive first look at new homes through in-depth property tours, giving them more time to consider their options before the wider market sees them.
- Sellers benefit from targeted exposure to serious buyers, meaning viewings are more productive and properties often sell faster.
This approach ensures that
both buyers and sellers gain a competitive advantage in the market, creating a smoother, more efficient process for everyone involved. Follow your
