Floor plans
Milestone have combined the technology of a state of the art system known as the “mobile agent” with a quality printing house called Ravensworth to produce colour sales details that carry both an area map and a floor plan. The pocket PC software that Milestone use allows them to create these details whilst at the property thus making it a quick process with quality details being ready to go out to prospective purchasers the very next day. Floor plans are particularly beneficial to house hunters as they allow them to gain a far better mental picture of the property than the traditional text and measurement details that most of Milestone’s competitors still use. This is also extremely useful to sellers as potential purchasers viewing properties already have a tangible grasp of the layout and have therefore, to a large extent already established the suitability of the property. This means that there are far fewer of the “waste of time” viewings that can be particularly frustrating for people keen to sell their property. The area maps are also beneficial and are far more informative than the directional notes that many agents use.

Location Maps
A simple location map allow buyers to pinpoint your property within the area, and avoids and unnecessary confusion on how to find you.

e-Marketing
Milestone’s e-marketing strategy goes far beyond having an internet site. All of our clients properties are featured on many websites automatically. Each property has its very own web-page which has full property information, room measurements and multiple colour photographs displaying exterior and interior shots. We operate an automated mailing service which includes sending SMS text messages and e-mailing details to buyers as soon as a property goes onto the market.

The Internet
Our website is an invaluable marketing medium, growing in importance every day. Whilst it is still vital to market your home from the high street, we believe customers attitudes are shifting towards the ease property searching via the comfort of their own home or office. An estimated 150 million people worldwide use the internet and with the increase in home and office computers our site is continually being visited. Our website is updated every day so your property can be marketed within 24 hours of receiving your instructions.

Accompanied Viewings
As property professional, we prefer to accompany prospective purchasers to a viewing. We consider it our job to be there to help with any queries and dispel any objections raised.

Viewing Feedback
We pride ourselves on providing open and honest advice throughout the process which includes buyer’s feedback following a viewing with 48 hours.

Local Advertising
We have a regular advert that appears in the Express and Echo property section. The response will be carefully monitored to ensure that that all sales opportunities are maximised. We also use press releases to support our general marketing through our established media contacts in the local, regional and national press.

Qualifying applicants
We interview thoroughly all prospective buyers and endeavour to check both that they have adequate finances to support their purchase and that the property suits their needs. Our experience shows that these investigations lead to a high rate of successful sales.

Negotiating the Highest Price
As your agent we believe it is our duty to negotiate the most preferable terms for you – paying particular attention to the buyers ability to proceed within your chosen timescales.

Buyers Ability to Proceed
When we receive an offer, we take steps to establish the prospective buyers financial status and buying position. We always look to obtain evidence of suitable funds to proceed with either a lenders agreement in principle or via a mortgage interview through our associate mortgage advisor. Our aim is to try to obtain from buyers as much information as we possibly can to help us advise you on the relative merits and strengths of each offer.

Agreeing the Sale
Once we have agreed a sale, we will keep in close contact with the relevant parties including the mortgage lenders and surveyors to ensure that the sale proceeds as quickly as desired.
