“When I instructed Aucoot I knew the listing would have excellent images and careful wording to represent my home in the best possible way. What I hadn’t anticipated was the very enjoyable collaborative element of working with John at Aucoot and how it would change my perception of estate agents entirely.

“John took great care to listen to my priorities and concerns about the sale process and price. He shared his expert market knowledge without any bluster and explored different pricing and marketing strategies with me. These initial conversations helped guide me to a listing price I was both happy with and felt was realistic in a challenging climate.

“I felt confident about John’s marketing savvy in a social media-driven world, which meant I trusted his recommendations despite initially resisting, for example, the idea of a short film showcasing my home. Aucoot produced superlative images and a film to entice viewers. Every prospective buyer said this was what brought them through the door.

“John’s judgment was sound and I found him to be very calm, responsive and proactive, which is the experience I wanted my prospective buyers to have too. He kept my sale on track despite errant solicitors and postal glitches.

“Ultimately, Aucoot surpassed all my expectations about how long it would take to sell my property, the price I might achieve and my fear of how stressful the process was going to be. I will definitely use them again.”
