At Paris Steele, we are a genuine local, knowledgeable firm, from the reception team who provide a friendly welcome in our Dunbar and North Berwick offices to the conveyancers who will see your sale safely through to completion. If you ask any one of us, we will list numerous reasons why East Lothian is the best place to live and work!

This really comes into play when making the important decision to sell your property, and our property team are dedicated to providing the best advice to guide you through the sales process. Our property manager, Charlotte Murray, can provide a free pre-sale valuation and knows how to showcase your home to appeal to the numerous potential buyers just waiting for their new home in East Lothian. Once we have won you over, we use the best photography, floorplans, and video marketing to get your property looking great online. Our sales negotiators are here to guide you through the process of viewings, advising potential buyers and negotiating the all-important offers that come afterward. But what can you do to help your chances of securing the best offer?

It goes without saying that when selling your home, you want to present it in the best possible light. It should be clean, clutter-free and the garden should be tidy. This makes a huge difference to how well the property can be photographed, and this is how most people decide if they are interested in your property. They’ve already whittled down their search online or they’ve been alerted by our mailing list, so they know it meets their criteria. By now you’ve got their attention and if they like what they see, they’ll want to come and view your home. This is where you come in, potential buyers are imagining what their life could be like in your home, would their furniture fit? Is it close to good schooling for their children? These are all things you can find out online, but you know what it is like to live in your home. Why not tell them about all the things you have loved about living there? Is it a five-minute walk from the best flat white you’ve ever had? Is there a woodland or beach at the end of the road that would be perfect for walking their dog? Have they commented on a prized possession that you got from a local gallery? Do your neighbours put your bins out while you’re away and have you over for a coffee in the garden? These are the seemingly little things that will make your property stand out, the things that make it less like any other house and more like a home they could live in.

Why not get in touch with our team and see how we can help you kickstart your selling journey by arranging a free, no obligation valuation? We are here for you when it matters most providing friendly advice and professional service right from the get-go.
