Please read if you are considering Carson & Co. over a smaller, local estate agents.
A job move abroad forced us to sell our house in Sandhurst. We were told by friends that the best way to sell - (and the quickest) was to use a local, small estate agent that knows the area. Which is exactly what we did, and signed up with Waterfields. Nice enough people - although the guy we had to deal with was a little awkward (and it took them a month before they got the For Sale sign up). For the first week we had loads of viewings, and a few offers - all below the asking price. One guy offered more and we considered it, but then we were told by the agent that he had retracted his offer as he didn't like the time we had taken to mull it over! Then - the people through the door stopped. From the 2nd week, it dropped to maybe 1 couple at the weekend, and they mostly looking for something completely different. It all started to make sense - The estate agents had a very small number of people on their books - and a very small reach. After promoting for a week they just didnt bother anymore.
They started to become irritated with us calling them, and we just started sitting out the next ridiculous 14 weeks contract with no-one coming round to view. Thankfully we had a business card posted through the door from Nick at Carson & Co. We were under contract for a few more weeks so we just called Nick at Carson & Co for advice - which he was willing to give. Really great chap, easy to talk to, super responsive over email, and not at all pushy. He came to the house, and gave us great advice and help about the sale of our home. He even went through our previous contract
and compared with theirs. So, a few weeks later signed up with Nick and the team, he organised a professional photo shoot of the house which was AMAZING (Waterfields turned up with a 1980s digital camera) and after finishing with the other agents, the sign went up and within the following weeks we had a stream of buyers through the door. The difference was amazing. We were now working between the US and the UK, and were relying on emails for contact - but that wasn't a problem. Nick and Rob were always available to respond. After approx. a month we had a buyer and sold subject to contract. Unfortunately that fell through but we had another buyer within the next few weeks! House is now sold, and we just wish we had signed to these guys at the beginning. They have a huge reach, they know what they are doing - and they don't give up on you. They have been professional and approachable. I cannot praise highly enough for these guys to sell my house whilst im not even in the country!
Thanks again to Rob and Nick.
