I recommend without reservation!

Appalled by the amount of money our local high street agents were charging to market our house, we found Sell My Home via a google search. We were initially impressed by the quick call back we received, and preliminary quote from professional employees of SellMyHome who knew what they were talking about. The website is extremely easy to navigate and we appreciated that there were different package options plus optional extras which meant we could build our own package and invest the amount we wanted to. We felt very in control of the process and were never pressured to spend more on extras. We were very happy with the quality of the photos and floor plan of our property and a glossy brochure was delivered in good time before the first viewing. We very much liked the control and immediacy of being able to accept viewings via the website. Requests were emailed to me, and SellMyHome also called each time to offer assistance and check I had received requests. Showing our own home meant that we were in a position to emphasise key features and answer the sometimes obscure questions that I am confident no agent would have had the answer to. When we found ourselves in the enviable position of having two matching offers, the strategy proposed by SellMyHome worked perfectly and we were able to accept an offer over the asking price. I highly recommend paying a little extra for the after sales care offered by SellMyHome- I believe that our sale would have fallen through without it, and the amount of time saved, and stress avoided, by having a professional to be the go-between for us, our buyer and solicitors was invaluable. I recommend the services of SellMyHome unreservedly, and have already recommended to immediate family who are looking to sell. I would use their services without hesitation

Sell My Home - Game Changer

When I came to sell my property - a 2 bedroom flat in Battersea, London - it was only two and a half years since I had purchased it and I still had memories of being driven to distraction by the estate agent who showed me round. The splurge of hyperbole coming out of his gob was so outlandish that I would have been forgiven for thinking I was about to purchase Buckingham Palace.It was with this in mind that I was first drawn to online estate agents and particularly Sell My Home, who, from what I read during my research, are by a long way the leading online estate agent in the London market with the best knowledge of the intricacies specific to it. Their business model is simple: in this day and age, with the progression of the internet, everybody's primary tool when it comes to house hunting are online search engines. At the click of a button, you can see every property on the market within a 100 mile radius of your chosen area if you so choose. The market is a million times more transparent than it was 10 years ago - we can compare prices, square footage, area, outdoor space, proximity to transport and so forth and so on and everybody but everybody knows to within a few thousand pounds what their property in nominally worth - especially in London where the turnover of properties is enormous. So why pay a traditional estate agent 1-2% of the value of your property when you can do 99% of their job yourself. Online estate agents such as Sell My Home charge a very small flat fee to gain you access to all the online property portals and all you have to do in return is conduct your own viewings.With the estate agent who had sold me my home fresh in my memory, so it was I signed up with Sell my Home to sell my property. Some might consider doing your own viewings a hassle but when you consider the amount of money you are saving - you are essentially working for £1000/hr or more depending on the value of your property. And best of all, your buyers will not be driven to despair by some pimply faced pre-pubescent unqualified idiot in an ill fitting suit declaring that your "kitchen sells itself" or that your small box room "oozes period charm". The truth is a nice house does sell itself and instead of wasting your breath telling potential buyers about it, you can equip them with all the important information that a traditional estate agent rarely knows such as when the boiler was installed, what the neighbours are like, how much monthly utility bills are and just generally give them an idea of what it is like to actually live there.My own major concern with online estate agents was that there would not be anyone helpful at the end of the line/answering emails who would be able to give me advice along the way. With Sell My Home, that could not have been further from the truth. Behind what is a very sleek website which provides an incredibly easy online account from which you arrange all your viewings and see any offers you receive as they come in, there is a highly qualified, incredibly personable and helpful sales team and every client is assigned their very own personal account manager. My own was called Harry and he was contactable 24 hrs a day 7 days a week. He was helpful at every step of the process, offering advice on setting the price, helping me to organise viewings and suggesting ways to making them easier to manage such as holding open days etc etc. He negotiated the sales price for us and once we were under offer dealt with all the solicitors, other estate agents and surveyors so that I didn't have to. In short, he made the entire process from start to finish as easy as it could possibly have been and ultimately was the reason it was such a success.And if you are wondering about results. From going online, we received multiple viewing requests in the first week and had two offers within 7 days of being on the market, one of which was at the price that we needed. The buyers were far from easy - nervous first time buyers with a truly incompetent lawyer and Brexit happened a week after we accepted their offer but somehow Harry kept them on board and we exchanged a couple of days ago and are now looking to complete in early September less than 3 months after the property first went live.And that isn't even the best bit - as a result of using Sell My Home, whom I think did a better job than a traditional estate agent would have done anyway, I have saved myself close to £12,000. Without that saving, I wouldn't have been able to afford to purchase the house that I eventually chose.So fingers crossed we complete now and I am sure with Sell My Home in my corner - exchange to completion will be as stress-free as possible.If you need any more persuading to go online and specifically with Sell My Home next time you are selling a property, then look no further than the "traditional" estate agents who marketed the house that I have just exchanged contracts on. Their salesman told me the house had two garages when I first looked round it - however, it turned out that they were both attached to the house next door and the one I was looking at in fact had none! The vendors must have been paying close to £20,000 for that extraordinarily poor level of service.So the mantra that you pay peanuts and get monkeys is not always true. Some monkeys come at a price far higher than a couple of peanuts. However, with Sell My Home, you do pay peanuts but what you get in return is a very inventive online platform behind which sits a slick, professional, highly qualified sales team which has identified a flaw in an old fashioned, outdated market and found a way to bring it into the 21st Century to the benefit of us all. Thank you Sell My Home.

Professional, easy and value for money

I used Sell my Home at the beginning of this year to sell my house after looking at some high street real estate agents and couldn't justify their costs. My house has been up for sale with two high street agents previously and not sold in 18 months. Sell my Home offered the same service with an added benefit of the online booking system at a fraction of the cost. I sold me house within a week! A professional photographer came out to do the photos and floor plans. I had chosen the top package so I had an A4 hard card gloss brochure to hand out to prospective buyers. They were very impressive and high quality. On the high street, they were doing their own photos with a digital camera and low quality. My house went live on the websites on the Tuesday, I had two viewings booked in by Thursday via the online system which allowed me to accept or decline viewing times. But the surprise was that on the Saturday I had a late appointment booked in for the Sunday. On the high street, this appointment may never have got through because of the time it was sent. I accepted and these were my buyers. Sell my Home did the negotiations which was included in my package. It was easy, they were professional and honest throughout the whole process. I would recommend Sell my Home to people. They offer a more professional service, allow you to decide what level package and control the process of selling your home for a fraction of the cost.

OUTSTANDING!!! Couldn't be happier with the service!

I was initially concerned about going with an online estate agent however I couldn't be happier that we did. We saved approximately £3,500 and had a far better service than we have experienced with high street chains. Pros - They answered the phone every time we rang, beyond times that normal estate agents would be accessible. - They gave lots of well justified advice. Will was very helpful! - We got so much interest. We were concerned that high street estate agents know buyers to call and we would miss out, however the process has shown me that being on Rightmove and Zoopla is where most will see the property. - The iPhone app made the process even quicker and easier to check up on. - Price was fantastic! Cons - None.

The best way to sell your home

I decided to take a punt on sellmyhome rather than a traditional agent because the market in London is so buoyant at the moment and the savings to be made by selling this way are so massive, that it seemed like a no brainer to give it a go. I can't believe how easy and successful it has been. Within one week of putting my property up I have accepted an offer for over asking price. Perhaps more importantly, the overall experience was excellent. There is almost always someone online to chat if you have any random questions, although really it's very intuitive anyway so not much assistance was needed. Also I found that buyers were so pleased to be dealing directly with me the vendor, and for me to do the viewings - it immediately feels like you are in a much more transparent and positive level than with an agent. I'd highly recommend selling your property in this way, and sellmyhome have been outstanding.

Sarah Davies from Online Estate Agents…

Sarah Davies from Online Estate Agents was managing our house sale completion and we cannot speak more highly of her. She went above and beyond at every step to ensure we were fully informed of the process and was incredibly personable in her approach, recognising the ongoing stresses and extraordinary situation. Thank you Sarah - we are currently settling into our new home very well and wouldn't hesitate to recommend you further.

SALE OF AUST CRESCENT, CHEPSTOW, MONMOUTHSHIRE

After a few quotes I put my house on the market with sell My Home, and the agent Rosalind Levy quickly had viewings and an offer of the asking price. From acceptance of the offer to completion, she kept me in the picture with phone calls and emails every step of the way, making sure everything went smoothly and to plan. I also used one of the local solicitors from her list, which were very competitively priced, and very professional in their handling of the sale and moving through the process in a methodical manner with the minimum of fuss.Well done Ross and many thanks for your supportDavid

Couldn’t wish for a better service. When they say they’ll do something it’s done, they took away all the hassle. Cost was much better than anywhere else, and super efficient. I mainly dealt with Robbie and will miss our weekly updates. Will recommend to everyone.

First time viewing a property with SellMyHome and it won’t certainly be the last as it was a pleasure dealing with the estate agent Harvey. He made the whole viewing process smooth, kept us informed throughout and was knowledgable about the property. Thanks Harvey & SellMyHome. Look forward to other properties you are able to bring to the market!

My assigned agent was brilliant. I did not have a proactive solicitor but Robbie was There right through chasing all parties up. Polite, sympathetic, knowledgeable, and on the ball. He really got me through as I'd have opted out of the process without him.
