I'm Nicole, an Independent Property Expert Specialising in Prestigious Property Sales.
One of my first memories of working with Laura stands out, and it perfectly sums up her approach.
"It’s bricks, Nicole. I can recreate this anywhere."
That statement really stuck with me when we first worked together on the sale of her home.
The property she was selling had been an incredible transformation from an uninhabitable space 13 years earlier.
So, when two years later, Laura reached out to say she was ready to sell again, I wasn’t shocked. After all, the REBUILD had been another, major success!
Yes, within just two years, Laura had secured Little Pendell , a charming country home in a beautiful Surrey village.
I had the chance to visit this home before and during its transformation, and if you’ve ever spoken Laura’s love language - PROPERTY - you’ll understand. Her passion is contagious! When she talks about a space, you’re immediately able to visualise its potential. With her vision, she turned this cosy home into a stunning, eco-friendly, boutique-style gem (and the buyers were left in awe!).
How did I work with Laura?
Laura is a Property Expert in her own right, so when a seller truly understands the process and how to position a property for the best possible result, it makes all the difference.
Why Expertise is Key to Achieving the Best Price
When selling a property, it’s not just about sticking it on Rightmove and hoping for the best. Sure, we can’t control external factors like interest rates, but what you can control is who you partner with.
Here’s how Laura and I made sure she got a premium for her homes:
Recent Comparable Sales : We looked at recent sales within a quarter, ideally within half a mile (or up to a mile for rural areas). Surveyors typically look at sales from the last six months, so we made sure to focus on properties that were most relevant.
Square Footage : As a starting point, the size of the property was a key factor in determining pricing. Once we had that base, we reviewed the turnkey aspect that Laura had so expertly created. Every detail was considered, from the flawless finishes to the thoughtfully designed spaces and newly created eco-friendly benefits, ensuring the home was not only move in ready but also a standout in the market. Laura’s vision and attention to detail turned the property into something that buyers could immediately see themselves in, which made all the difference in achieving the premium sale price.
Preparing the Property : Staging is crucial, but with Laura, that’s always covered, she has a fantastic eye for detail and knows how to make a home shine.
Marketing Strategy : We carefully planned the property’s launch dates, open house events, and targeted marketing campaigns for maximum impact.
The Result? Through careful planning and collaboration, we ended up achieving a record price per square foot for one of the homes.
Where Am I Now? I’m continuing to build my brand, helping sellers get the best possible price for their homes with expert guidance every step of the way - and eagerly anticipating Laura's number to appear on my phone with news about her latest project!
