Going, going… nearly gone! Our latest Auction catalogue is out now!

It’s that time of the month again when our popular auction catalogue is published, jam packed as ever with fantastic properties be it for investment, residential or commercial use.

Rook Matthews Sayer works in association with Agents Property Auction who manages the auction process of all our auction properties and is supported by a regional network of fifty estate agents.

If you’re looking to sell your property quickly then you may consider selling it at one of our monthly property auctions. If your property doesn’t sell, you have no fees to pay. Our no sale, no fee auction is held once a month.
Why sell at Auction? The main benefit of selling your home at auction is the fixed timescale. If you need to sell quickly then auction could be the answer. Other potential benefits include:

• It’s fast; on acceptance of an offer, the buyer agrees to a timescale, giving you the peace of mind of a definite exchange date.
• Control; you set a reserve price and the property can not be sold for a penny below.
• Security; the successful buyer places a non returnable financial deposit. If the buyer withdraws from the sale they will forfeit the deposit

When and where?

North East Property Auctions are held once a month. The next auction where these properties will be on sale is on Thursday 28th June 2018 at The Marriott Hotel, Gosforth Park. 6.30pm registration – 7pm start

Selling? Make sure your property is on the BIG 2

There is so much talk about the best marketing channels to sell your home quickly and effectively and the importance of marketing your property effectively is key to selling your home.

And whilst one approach is never quite enough, a mix of multi channels; in branch, online, in person and emailed to our massive database of buyers is hugely recommended and proves very successful. So successful in fact, that independent research carried out by Rightmove proves that Rook Matthews Sayer sells more homes in the Region of Newcastle to Northumberland than any other agent.*

We all know the importance of the internet these days, with 90% of all property searches starting online** property website portals like Rightmove, Zoopla, Prime Location and On the market.com have become increasingly more important in the search for a new home, but how do we know which one to choose and which one could advertise my home most effectively?

This is where our latest research comes in. Recently, we carried out some research into the effectiveness of property portals to see which ones were outperforming the rest, and which we needed to invest in to achieve the best sales results for our customers.

In January 2016, Rightmove received 55% of user visits, Zoopla 40.6% compared to a meagre 4.1% of house hunters searching on Onthemarket.com ***
Furthermore, research by Comscore in April 2016 showed that 49% of house hunters only visit Rightmove, 18% only visit Zoopla, and 33% visit both Rightmove and Zoopla. So by advertising your property on the BIG 2 portals we can reach a whopping 82% of all house hunters.

We recently changed our advertising from onthemarket.com to Zoopla to gain maximum exposure for our customers. By choosing both Rightmove and Zoopla we are able to reach more house hunters than any other portal combination which of course is GREAT news for you, our customer.

So when you are choosing an agent, ask the key question…which property portal will my house be advertised on? And make sure you have chosen the BIG 2 for maximum exposure.

Good luck to all our customers who are buying or selling a home. We hope this research has helped you with a successful home move.
