Selling Your Home
At IPS we appreciate just how difficult it can be to know where to start when choosing an agent to sell your property!
Striking the right balance between selling themselves and their company whilst at the same time delivering clear, concise, well qualified advice is far from guaranteed with all agents, particularly those less experienced.
At IPS you can be assured that only one of our highly experienced directors will visit you to discuss your requirements and offer simple yet effective advice on how best to achieve your objectives.
Marketing Advice
Absolute key to a successful sale is dependent on a combination of good marketing and quoting the right price, getting one right without the other simply won’t work. Contrary to the belief of some agents it is the market that dictates property values not the Estate Agent. The idea that an agent will achieve a higher price because they charge a higher fee or have a chain of other offices is of no relevance to a buyer either! Assessing the value of property has in many ways become much more scientific and therefore easier than it was 20 years ago, largely due to the plethora of information available from the various property portals & websites. At IPS we advocate the use of this information and combine it with our many years experience and intimate knowledge of Chelmsford and its ever changing market dynamics!
Promoting Your Property In The Market Place
The way in which a property is presented to the market really can influence the outcome, accurate informative and well written sales brochures, with the right balance of photos will ensure your property is seen before others! Similarly we recognise the importance of using a varied and diverse range of marketing tools to ensure we reach the widest possible audience which will increase your chances of securing a sale at the best price!.

Sales Negotiation And Post Sale Service
Sales Negotiation is perhaps the most critical aspect of an Estate Agents responsibility, if conducted well a sale will be agreed at a figure in-excess of the seller’s minimum price, if mishandled the opportunity could be lost or the seller may feel pressured into accepting a disappointingly low offer. At IPS we strive to exceed our client’s expectations whenever possible and all negotiations will only be conducted by one of our experienced Directors.
The most stressful part of moving can often be after you have agreed a sale on your property. For prolonged periods of time you can find yourself left in the dark not knowing what’s happening and more importantly not knowing when you are going to move. At IPS we make it our business to know what's happening throughout the chain at all times.
The key to a smooth hassle free move always starts with a well negotiated sale conducted by the agent who should ensure that you are fully briefed on your buyers expected timescales, circumstances and ability to proceed.
Time spent communicating this information between buyer and seller at the beginning often removes the likelihood of problems occurring later on and also reduces the sale fall through rate which for IPS we are proud to say is significantly less than the recognised industry norm!
After the sale has been agreed we will maintain close and regular contact with the lawyers, mortgage brokers and other agents in the chain to ensure you are aware of the progress throughout enabling you to plan ahead with confidence!
