What's actually in the guide?
A short, five-chapter breakdown of what really happens between week 1 and week 8 of a typical home sale, the points where decisions quietly get made for you, and the questions to ask any agent you're considering. Roughly 18 pages, 5 minutes to read properly.
Will a smaller agent have the same reach as the big chains?
Yes, every serious buyer in 2026 looks on Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket, and we list on all three. Where the bigger chains win on shopfronts and brand recognition, we win on what actually matters once a buyer is interested: properly handled viewings, honest feedback, and a sale that's actively progressed through to completion rather than passed between three different people.
What if I'm already on the market with another agent?
Still worth reading. The guide will help you spot whether the patterns it describes are already showing up in your sale. You'd be surprised how often a calm conversation with your current agent, armed with the right information, changes how the next few weeks unfold.
Will you actually be available when I need you?
Yes, and that's a deliberate choice, not a marketing line. I deliberately keep the portfolio smaller so I can give every client proper attention. I take calls and viewings in the evenings and at weekends when that's what's needed. Most of my clients have my mobile by week two.
What does it cost to work with you?
Two options. Foundation Sell, from £997 + VAT, fixed fee, no tie-in. Full service: professional photography, video walkthroughs, staging advice, Rightmove and portal listings, accompanied viewings, negotiation and proactive progression. The lower-risk option for sellers who want Sabel & Co treatment without a long contract.
Signature Sell, 1.5% of the final sale price, with a £397 + VAT advance at instruction (deducted from the final invoice on completion). 12-week tie-in (a little longer for properties over £600k). Same deliverables, commercial alignment of % commission. No hidden marketing surcharges on either option.
What areas do you cover?
Belper, Duffield, Ripley, Heanor, Horsley, Little Eaton, Allestree, Darley Abbey, Kilburn, Denby, Heage, Ambergate, Quarndon, Breadsall and the villages in between, Amber Valley, Erewash and North Derbyshire.
Do I have to speak to you at any point?
Not at all. You'll get the guide by email and one follow-up a week later asking if you found it useful. That's it. If you want to talk, you contact me, not the other way around. My direct number is
+44 7803 905717.
