Selling
& Letting

A refreshing change...

Our aim is simple

To achieve the BEST possible price and provide the BEST possible estate agency experience using our exceptional marketing and unrivalled level of service.

Exceptional marketing

At Cole’s we believe our marketing and presentation is unrivalled. We make an enormous effort with our presentation to make sure your property stands out from the crowd.

All of our properties receive the same treatment, regardless of whether it’s a studio apartment or a six bedroom country home.

Every property benefits from the following:

National
Advertising

The Internet now provides the vast majority of enquiries so it’s vital to showcase your property on the major portals. We advertise all of our properties on:

rightmove.co.uk 
zoopla.com 
primelocation.com 

among others, to attract buyers nationwide.

Photography

This is arguably the most important marketing tool. All of our properties will benefit from eye-catching internal and external photographs. We don’t just point and click. We take time to dress each room, set the right lighting and take shots from various angles to get the best possible results.

Highly Detailed Floorplans

We will produce a highly detailed floorplan, at no extra cost, to feature on both our details and our website. This gives prospective purchasers a clear indication of the property layout and room sizes before they arrive and a reminder after they leave.

Prominent
High Street
Location

Our head office is ideally located on the picturesque High Street to attract buyers from the large volume of passers by.

For sale
boards

Our unique branding comes into its own with a distinctive stag dominating our For Sale boards. Unlike any other other board, the portrait orientation guarantees that Cole’s boards stand out to passing buyers.

Stylish
property particulars

Whether it’s a one bedroom studio flat or a six bedroom country home we believe that EVERY property deserves the same treatment. That’s why we produce professionally printed details for ALL of our properties. Full details are taken, not just a line or two, and are accompanied by stunning photos and floorplans to produce contemporary, stylish particulars. Remember, first impressions are made before your potential buyer walks through the door.

Clear concise website

As you can see, our website is a cut above the rest. Large photographs accompanied by comprehensive property details, floorplans, a map and a full PDF brochure ensure maximum exposure of your property to prospective purchasers. The site is easy to navigate to encourage searching buyers to return again and again.

Social media

Social media is the fastest growing marketing platform in history with many companies ditching websites in favour of Facebook and Twitter pages. We have both, as well as Instagram, and use them to advertise our properties to an ever increasing audience.

Unrivalled service

With so many agents competing for your business it can be difficult to choose the right one. At Cole’s, our aim is simple – to provide the best possible estate agency experience.

You will always receive sound, professional advice from our friendly and enthusiastic team. We combine our proactive approach with our exceptional marketing to ensure that, from start to finish, every interaction with us is both productive and pleasing. We have built a strong reputation and plan to serve the people of East Grinstead and the surrounding area for many years to come.

Here are just a few features that separate us from the rest:

Accompanied viewings

We accompany every viewing, including those arranged in the evenings or over weekends. We won’t scare buyers away by being pushy but are on hand should they need any questions answered and to make sure they feel comfortable and relaxed.

No lengthy
contracts

We really believe in the service we offer and that is why we don’t tie our clients into lengthy contracts. Are all agents so confident with their promise?…

Open 7 days a week

We understand today’s hectic lifestyle, that’s why we are open seven days a week so we’re
available for viewings whenever potential buyers want to view including evenings and weekends.

Prompt feedback

It’s the first job of the day! We understand that waiting for feedback is infuriating. Will they? Won’t they? That’s why we make sure we contact all our applicants first thing in the morning and report back with their feedback as soon as possible.

Staff viewing

How can you sell something you haven’t seen? Upon instruction we will arrange for all our negotiators to view your property. We firmly believe that to sell a property you must, at least, have seen it! We also recognise it makes a difference to put a face to a name so you know who you are talking to in the office.

Competitive Selling Fees

At Cole’s we don’t believe a premium service should come with a premium price tag. Our fee structure is completely transparent with no up front fees, and remember, we won’t tie you in to a lengthy contract.

We also operate on a ‘no sale, no fee’ basis so you can be rest assured that we work hard on your behalf to secure the best possible price.
