At Ellis Winters we offer clients a choice to select the most suitable service to fulfil their needs and timescale. We’ve intentionally broken away from the “one size fits all” approach that most estate agencies seem to offer. This enables us to deliver a better quality of service with the ability to quickly adapt to changing market conditions and seize every opportunity to sell using the comprehensive services we provide.
Our most common method of sale, consists of advertising a property with maximum coverage and exposure to generate the highest number of buyers, providing choice and maximising the property value.
Suitable for clients looking to achieve one or several of the following:
Similar to the above with the added flexibility to hold back on certain aspects of the marketing. This allows for a lower pressure sale, the ability to test a higher price and gives buyers a feeling of exclusivity which may result in higher offers, and allows for full marketing to be adopted in an instant.
Suitable for clients looking to achieve one or several of the following:
Our secure buyer service provides clients with complete peace of mind that their sales transaction will be swift and with a 99% chance of completing. By preparing the legal pack in advance of advertising, buyers can make informed offers on the property transparently through open bids.
Transparent bidding lends itself to maximising the property price as competing bids are made visible. Suitable for clients looking to achieve one or several of the following:
Note: Buyers with a chain may be accepted to bid at the discretion of the seller. Sufficient time is given to organising finance (mortgages). A seller will not be able to tie in their onward purchase using this service.
Our Exclusive service is designed for clients with an exclusive or high-value property, providing access to additional marketing tools and experienced Directors within Ellis Winters. The marketing on offer not only reaches a wider geographic area, including London, but it also allows for a more bespoke approach in capturing and communicating the lifestyle the property could provide its new owners.
Take a look at the many strategies we use to market your property effectively.
The majority of people we sell homes to live within a 3-mile radius of the property they are purchasing, often it’s within the same town or village.
At Ellis Winters we combine several channels to market our clients’ homes, maximising enquiries & potential buyers to ultimately secure the best buyer at the right price. With property displays in our core office locations, St Ives, Chatteris & March, we’ve enhanced our local property advertising by securing additional locations such as Fenstanton, Hemingford Grey and Ramsey.
The quality of the photographs used to advertise your home can make the difference between attracting a buyer or not.
Our listing staff all receive ongoing training and support to ensure the highest quality of photography for your home.
To capture the best photos requires the best equipment. Ellis Winters have invested in the latest DSLR cameras and supporting equipment such as tripods. A mobile phone camera simply doesn’t have the power or lens quality to match a dedicated camera.
Drone photography allows us to capture a home from a unique angle. Whether it’s to showcase a large plot, beautiful setting or unique feature, drone photography can capture the interest of more buyers.
The Ellis Winters Property Premiere Group on Facebook is a private group for motivated buyers that is free to join. Every property we advertise is advertised here before being placed on property portals such as Rightmove, Zoopla or OnTheMarket.
With over 1,800 members (and rising!) the group allows us to build interest in the property prior to it’s launch. The effect of this? Greater interest and competition between buyers which ultimately achieves a higher sale price.
Social media can be an exceptional way to reach a local audience who are actively looking to buy property.
Every property Ellis Winters represents is advertised on social media (Facebook & Instagram) with paid advertising that serves adverts to locals likely to move. We use engaging content, photos and video to drive more enquiries for every property. Ellis Winters typically receives 74,000 engagements per month via our Facebook page alone!
Ellis Winters advertises on the following property portals dependent on branch location: Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket. Contact your local Ellis Winters branch for further details about which portals they advertise on.
Reserved for our Exclusive clients, LonRes delivers our clients property’s to over 6,000 estate agents working in London with over 100,000 active buyers, 86% of which are looking for property outside of London. With many London buyers looking for a more rural location with access links to London, such as Cambridgeshire, LonRes allows us to ‘tap into’ urban flight.
A property portal specifically designed for new homes and developments, the site receives approximately 600,000 visitors per month, providing 35,000 buyer leads.
Along with standard listings on Rightmove, Ellis Winters uses Premium Property Listings and Feature Property Adverts to enhance the visibility of our client’s homes, increasing buyer enquiries which ultimately results in finding a better buyer at the right price.
Video is one of the highest-performing mediums when advertising a home. Nothing comes close to capturing a home’s character, charm, and lifestyle it offers the new owners. We offer 3 types of video tours, suitable depending on the fee we charge, property and likely buyer.
Videos are displayed on our website, portal listings, our YouTube channel which is the most watched property channel in Cambridgeshire, Facebook and Instagram.
Standard videos showcase the property with professionally shot & edited footage (including drone) of the property.
Lifestyle adds a new dynamic, using professional actors to provide a taste of what living in the property would be like.
A guided tour takes things one step further with professional actors taking the viewer on a guided tour around the home, highlighting features and details as they go.
Virtual tours offer potential buyers the opportunity to ‘walk through’ a house at their leisure, with a 360-degree viewing angle.
Virtual Tours are available as standard to all clients who would like to use the benefits of allowing buyers to view their home virtually before committing to a physical viewing. The core benefit includes higher quality viewings as the viewers have already determined the property is of interest and ease of viewing for buyers located out of the area.
We provide clients with transparency over the marketing of their home, with real-time insights such as viewing and offer information available on the clients’ app.
Once a sale has been agreed, we’ll hold your hand through the transaction to ensure it goes smoothly and with minimal stress. In doing so, we greatly reduce the likelihood of a sale collapsing.
Our financial service partners have access to the whole of the market, providing peace of mind to our clients that they are securing the very best mortgage for their needs.
Instructing a conveyancer at the start of your home move can potentially save several weeks in a typical property transaction, reducing the likelihood of the sale falling through.
