How are you able to provide a high quality service for such a low fee?
Very simple. We have cut out a lot of the unnecessary baggage and cost from the process. We generate our instructions through personal relationships, through sophisticated online marketing and traditional PR. Our agents are discrete and we don't maintain a fleet of cars with our logo on the side. We also don’t maintain a great many expensive high street locations whose cost has to be passed on to our clients. The business of estate agency has changed. We can generate fantastic interest in exceptional properties without incurring the costs of most of our competitors.
Can I list my property with Exceptional Homes as well as traditional agents?
Yes absolutely. We are delighted to be compared side by side with anyone. Our 1% fee is for a sole agency contract, but we are delighted to talk to you about a multi agency relationship if you would prefer.
How was Exceptional Homes born?
We are a new venture capital-backed company. The principle investor has 10 years of investment banking experience. He came to set up Exceptional Homes purely as a result of his frustration at the lack of service and high fees quoted to sell his £2 million plus property in W8 Kensington. After a year of hard investment in technology and innovative thinking, Exceptional Homes was born. We now provide a great service using technologically advanced tools at a price which is fair to our customers.
Do you provide all the services of a traditional agent?
And more. Of course we arrange and conduct viewings. Of course we draw up high quality floorplans and arrange for the marketing of your property through state of the art brochure ware. But we are also the only agent (we are aware of) who makes a 3 D virtual tour walkthrough of your property as a standard feature. We are also the only agent to offer an on line booking calendar so you can manage your viewings on line.
But don’t I need a traditional agent to get the best price for my property?
No. Maximising price is about doing the right marketing, generating the right interest and excitement from buyers and then providing them with a forum in which to achieve the best possible price (within a professional, fair and legal framework). After our expert negotiators and marketing team have achieved the former, our Sealed Bids software provides exactly the right framework to deliver the latter.
How does Sealed Bids work?
We have partnered with Sealed Bids to conduct all sealed bid auctions using the very latest technology. Sealed Bids is a completely new system which enables buyers and sellers arrive at the best price for exceptional property. The system works exactly as a traditional auction does, except that it is conducted online – ensuring that it is smoother, more secure and more professional. It is also at arm’s length from estate agents, lawyers, and anyone else who might be tempted to interfere in the process. Visit www.sealed-bids.co.uk to learn more about this revolutionary new technology.
Can I sell my foreign property with Exceptional Homes?
We deal with exceptional homes where ever they are in the world and charge the same 1% fee regardless. All non-UK properties are marketed to buyers using a wide variety of marketing techniques. These range from press promotion through exploiting our network of overseas home search agents to marketing on high quality portals such as Primelocation.com’s foreign properties section.
