Selling Property with Melanie Prestige

Your home is your most valued possession. You want to work with an estate agent who recognises its value as much as you do.

From country cottages to architect-designed homes, we sell unique and interesting properties across Norfolk. We know exactly how to present these unique properties to buyers and make sure they fall in love, securing your home the price you deserve.

We’ll never inflate our valuation to get a client on the books. That’s not how we work. Our no-obligation valuations are honest and realistic. You know what you can expect to achieve, and buyers are more interested in sensible valuations; this increases the chance of a sale over the asking price!

We know how to find the right buyer for your property. Whether we already have a buyer waiting in our extensive database, or whether we conduct a targeted campaign with our exclusive brochures and advanced marketing tools, we’ll find the buyer who will adore your home and make the right offer.

Work with an expert luxury estate agent that takes a smart approach to getting you the best price for your home. Get in touch with our team today.

Getting your home ready for viewings and photography is vital. It’s not just about tidying up for the photographer; it’s about helping buyers picture their life in your old home. We’ll work with you to accentuate what makes your property unique and attract the kind of buyer that will fall in love with your home and make an offer!

How to prepare a home for viewings

Your home is unique, but a few tips apply to any property when it's time to show it to potential buyers. The key is to remove anything that will distract them from picturing their life in your old home, from clutter to weeds, unnecessary furniture to pet hair.

• First impressions matter, so consider how your property looks from the kerb.
• Create a sense of space by removing some furniture and letting viewers see how big your rooms are.
• Tidy up. This isn’t just a good chance to get rid of clutter, but it will make your move easier too!
• Give everything a clean, from the oven to the bath and everything in between.
• Open a few windows to let in the fresh air.
• Consider redecorating. Spending a little on a few neutral colours might pay dividends!
• Your potential buyer might not be a pet person, so sweep up pet hair, tidy away toys and food bowls, and take your furry friends out for a walk or a visit during viewings.
• Give your garden a little care. Mow the lawn, pull the weeds, and trim the bushes and trees.

We’ll provide you with a complete guide to preparing your home and garden and work with you to make the necessary preparations to highlight the unique features of your home.

Selling an empty home is harder than a dressed one. But hiring out furniture is cost-effective and will not only help you get the best price but will also help you find a buyer sooner: 86% of homes sell faster having been staged.

We work with select companies that understand how to best dress your home to attract the right type of buyer based on where you are in Norfolk, so you can be sure that your property will impress the right buyers.

We’ll help buyers fall in love with your home

Your home is unique. It deserves to be presented in a way that shows off the features you love and the improvements you’ve made that will make buyers fall in love. Our team will show you just how to do that. Get in touch today.

You’re not selling a property. You’re selling a home. And it’s our job to help buyers picture their life in that home and fall in love with it. We have a range of tools and techniques at our disposal, and we choose the right ones for you and your home.

We want to capture the feel of your home and help buyers imagine what it’s like to live there. On that topic, you’re the expert! So we let you tell your home’s story, including all the little gems that an ordinary property listing can’t capture.

We then tell that story within an exclusive brochure, richly illustrated with premium images captured by professional photographers, from sweeping panoramas to intimate shots of the little details. It’s how we get buyers to fall in love with your home before they’ve even viewed it.

We extend this approach to creating listings on property search engines like Rightmove and Zoopla, as well as using social media platforms to target your ideal buyer. And we also upload these stories to LonRes; this system is used by 90% of London estate agents to promote properties to 100,000+ keen buyers. With Norfolk being a highly-requested destination for London buyers, this gives your property an enormous boost in exposure to the right kind of buyers!

We are proud to be only one of two Norfolk estate agents to be exclusive members of the Norwich City Partnership. This gives us the ability to promote your property to Norwich City players, coaches, staff, and all season ticket holders too.

We understand that you may want to market your property discreetly. And we can find you a buyer without using public channels. In fact, we sell many of our properties on a confidential basis by using our comprehensive database of prospective buyers. We’ll also conduct the viewings on your behalf, removing disruption to your life and maintaining your anonymity.
