Gareth Apswoude

It's hard selling the family home after 17 years. We'd definitely put our stamp on the place. When we met with Gareth, he scoped the market for us, giving specifics about what was happening in our area. Then when he walked through our home with us, we were surprised and delighted. We'd expected some quick, formulaic advice about what buyers want, and then a referral to a stylist who would know how to ready our house for sale. Instead, Gareth paused at each new view and pointed out the features he liked, valuing the old and treasured things, not just the new and shiny things. His comments made us see our home in a new and refreshing way. He highlighted the quirky, unique features we'd grown used to and took for granted. He honoured the work we'd put into the place. He asked us questions and recognised the things that were important to us when living there, and then shared ideas about how to turn these things into selling points. We felt free to be ourselves and retain our stamp on the place in readying our home for market, rather than suppressing our 17 years there into anonymity. We connected with the sale team via WhatsApp, which made communication prompt and easy through the marketing campaign. Thanks Gareth!
