Home is not just a commodity

Home is not just a commodity

Property is often seen as a commodity, where profit is the driver. And, of course, properties are bought and sold to make money. But properties are also homes, not just commodities. A home is something personal, enriching and enabling; something we can’t really put a price on.

We deal in homes

A home is shelter and support to get a person to where they want to be in life, and is deeply connected to their personal journey. We’re an estate agency who deal in those homes, and essentially, in people’s life situations, getting people to where they want to be in life.

And it’s surprising how much support can be required to make those stepping stones to the next perfect home happen.

The real advice and support to make your home sell – on time!

If you’ve seen the perfect place you want for your family and need to move before a certain time, it can be stressful struggling to sell your current home speedily.

Our down-to-earth advice on the aesthetics of your home will maximise potential for a quick sale and we support through the whole process. From directing photoshoots to smoothing conveyancing processes.

“One family wanted to move before half-term, which involved selling their home fast. They took all our advice for the photos and we found a buyer in no time. Then there was the process of selling within a short timeframe. We helped with some stressful conversations, with everyone in the chain, keeping the sale on track. But we achieved it.” Stephanie Evans myplace Director

Understanding that it’s not always easy

We may know we need to move, for example, if our current home doesn’t suit out lifestyle anymore, but it’s not always easy, and we understand the emotional triggers that can get in the way of helping us move forward.

We talk to you about the process of moving and what it will involve. For example, if you are downsizing, perhaps due to retirement or divorce, there can be a lot of possessions to deal with. Perhaps you need help to approach this, require storage or help with some other issue that may involve family. Life is complex, and we appreciate how help to deal with the practical things can really aid the process of moving home.

Turning relocation dreams true

Finding your perfect place miles away from where you currently live, means feeling under pressure to sell before the home you love is snapped up.

“They had lost their dream home once already, in Cornwall because they couldn’t sell. So, we made a few suggestions about how to bring out the best in it. Within a matter of weeks, we secured their buyer. As luck would have it, the property they’d fallen in love with came back onto the market, and they secured it and are now enjoying their new life in Cornwall.”

Here for when life events demand a new home

Many of our sellers ask us back time and again, throughout their lives as things change. It’s an incredible honour we are very proud of.

The homes we sell and find for our clients are not commodities. They know that and so do we.
