SELLING YOUR HOME
LEADING THE WAY IN CORBY - OTHERS FOLLOW!
When you choose an agent to sell, you want the most effective estate agent to handle your most valuable asset.
People generally try to find the agent that will give themselves the best chance of moving.
You will want to know that the marketing you have chosen is capable of delivering you the sale you require on your home.
You will need to know that you’ve just decided to use the agent, who not only sells more, but also sells a higher percentage of their homes, than other agents sell of theirs.
You will need to know you HAVE just given yourself the best chance of selling through your choice of agent.
You will need for your own comfort and reassurance to know that your agent cares about you and has substantial property knowledge.
You will feel better, if in every way your property is presented to the buying public, in a fantastic way making, it stand out from the crowd.
Ultimately your biggest fear will be that you or the agent you choose has overpriced it gaining you no interest – you need to know the agent has valued it honestly & correctly don’t you?
Finally you also need to remember this, it’s a fact in the UK that almost 30% of sales agreed fail to complete.
Another 25% battle through to completion with many problems along the way.
So you absolutely need to know that your agent has the skills, experience and ability to deal with problems along the way effectively, with a positive outcome.
The success of your sale could, or will be determined by you choosing to involve, or not involve Howe & Hawksby
WHERE DO WE HANDLE PROPERTY
We sell properties from within the map area shown below.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM HOWE & HAWKSBY
A3 "BROCHURE" STYLE PROPERTY SALES PARTICULARS.
The details a buyer collects from our office or receives in the post are made up of 4 pages of information provided across an A3 folding brochure.
The details incorporate up to 9 full colour photos, floor plans and maps.
They are printed to the highest of standards internally within our business, so there is never any chance of us running out.
Our aims with our details are to provide as much accurate information as is possible to persuade potential buyers to view your home.
We hope you'll view our details as the best in the town and if you do, hopefully we'll become your choice of agent. Remember, better details give you a BETTER chance.
FLOOR PLANS
Floor plans which explain your home’s layout, cut down time consuming wasteful and annoying viewings.
They fully explain the how the living space within the property joins up and the practicality of your home.
With floor plans buyers are not fooled into viewing where the dimensions are adequate, to find out after viewing the layout is wrong!
Floor plans are a must have for buyers & sellers but are dis-regarded by some agents who cant be bothered!
They are hard work and time consuming for us, but we do them on ALL homes where its possible, because we know they HELP sell property from the experience of using them consistently for over 5 years from our other businesses.
The plans are provided at no extra charge being integral within our marketing strategy.
They will be seen by buyers on property details, on this & many other websites as well as from the office on our computer tours.
DIGITAL MAPS
The maps are used in the property details of your home, and during our computer presentation in the office.
Our idea with these is to make the life of your buyer as easy as possible in locating your home to decide for or against the location.
EYE CATCHING PRESS ADVERTISING
Whilst however, press promotion is now seen as secondary to the web, we still take between 1 & 3 pages weekly in the Evening Telegraph.
Over the last few years enquiry levels from the web have increased and substantially outnumbered press enquiries.
Although web enquiries outnumber press we estimate by 5 to 1, we still believe in representing your home in the press to those buyers who still prefer the newspaper.
We advertise many of our properties in the newspaper with up to 3 photographs showing off gardens and internal features where this benefits.
OFFICE PROMOTION OF YOUR HOME

It is guaranteed that you will experience presentation unique to our agency and understand the benefits of using Howe & Hawksby to sell your home.
The experience of selling homes, in the office really is a one off, we even use a Sony Playstation for example to help us!!!!
This takes care of the kids and allows us to spend quality time with the parents unserstanding their exact needs and then filfilling them.
The media screens around the office allow us to present homes in a dramatic way to buyers with a free drinks vending machine on hand to complete the experience.
