DND
Do not disturb campaign 2021
Following shall we say an interesting year after a what was a very un-familiar Christmas last year, and with things now looking a bit more normal there is no doubt everyone is getting excited about a phenomenal festive end to 2021!
All of us here at Stratton Oak are most definitely looking forward to spending time with our friends and family, celebrating and socialising, but like many of you having one eye on the New Year.
The property sector has seemed a little quieter over the last month or so, but there is a buzz behind the scenes and the general conversation and overall feeling is that there is going to be a burst as we leap into 2022 and stock levels are going to climb, and quickly!
If like a lot of people a move is on the cards in early 2022 then DND is going to be something you may want to consider.
Im often asked…….. When is the best time to market? What will get me the best net price? What will give me the least amount of stress? How can I get ahead of the competition for my new home?
The truth is the best time to move is when it’s the best time for you. However if you want to know when the traffic on the property portals go through the roof with eager buyers and how can you maximise this then read on.
This year we will once again be running our hugely successful “Do not disturb campaign”. This unique campaign not only gives you the opportunity to get your property viewed by the highest number of potential buyers, but also puts you in the strongest position to secure your next home, whilst allowing you to enjoy the festive fun with the family.
How does it work? I hear you ask, well, over Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s day Rightmove sees more activity than at any other time of the year!! Proven statistical fact.
However Christmas and New Year in most cases is the last time you want to be preparing your home for a viewing, and to be honest it is the last time people want to be viewing. That doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the extra footfall through Rightmove and the other portals though. So to ensure you capitalise, this is what we do……..
At some point before you put up the decorations is ideal but not essential, we come and get all the marketing material for your property, pictures, floor plans etc. The marketing is then collated and put together to create the listing, this is then sent to you for approval and once your happy we tuck it away and wait….
Then when Christmas Eve arrives we launch the property in all its glory with the information that viewings will start on the date we have agreed previously with you, usually around the 2nd week of January in most cases.
Then as the festive period gets under way, with all the families together thinking about plans for a bigger or new home your property is there ready and waiting for them to see and enquire about. We will then deal with that enquiry and line up the viewing for the New Year.
Not only does this give you the pick of the best buyers viewing your property online it means you are not disturbed over the festive period, you can relax and make the most of it before the viewings start.
In the last campaign 98.3% of the properties listed under this scheme achieved asking price or more!
On top of that this then puts you in the strongest position for new properties that come on in the New Year, people often feel devastated they missed out on this campaign. They hit the market 2nd / 3rd week of January but by then you are already under offer and ready to secure that sought after new home.
If this sounds like a good option for you, then get in touch for more details and honest advise as to whether this is the best option for you.
