Richard Hetherington had been unsuccessfully trying to sell his Victorian home for over two years before hiring Chewton Rose real estate agents. Guy Leaning at Chewton Rose worked hard, going above and beyond to show the home to its best advantage and provide analytical research to help negotiate a sale. This additional effort led to an acceptable offer being made and the home selling in June 2014. Richard would hire Chewton Rose again if he needs to sell in the future due to the quality of their work.

Hello Guy
Following our exchange of emails I set out my thoughts and your interest in the sale of
Westbank House.
Having been unsuccessful for more than two years in the selling of our Victorian home
the time had come for us to rethink the marketing strategy and possibly sign up with a
new agent. Looking at various web sites it became apparent that Chewton Rose were
ahead of the field in the preparation of brochure information and photographic input. So
the decision was made in March 2013 after discussion with the Chewton Rose team to
appoint them as sole agents.
The market was sluggish every viewing was attended by Guy Leaning who went to great
lengths to show the house to its best advantage. In December a prospective purchaser
made an offer that was well below the valuation price and unacceptable. In my opinion
Guy Leaning went the extra mile in producing records of sales in the neighbourhood, a
build up of pricing comparison with other agents in the area together with an analysis of
running costs. This approach had never been suggested by agents we had used in the early
days of marketing.
As a result of this effort we were able to agree a sale price acceptable to both parties and
completion was achieved in June 2014.
In the event of our moving again we would instruct Chewton Rose.
