Property transactions can be complex with plenty of moving parts. Many legal and financial matters progress simultaneously and our clients appreciate the ability to visit our teams to discuss their sales and purchases. Year after year we receive fantastic feedback about our service from sellers and purchasers about their moving experiences.

Arriving at our office, you will find contemporary decorations and comfortable seating to complement the eye-catching high-street window displays of available properties for sale. The phone lines are buzzing, the email and social media channel notifications are pinging, and we recognise that the advanced, traditional, high-street estate agent approach is the way forwards for property sellers.

Our brand identity complements our slick, functional and dynamic website. alexneil.com is a veritable hive of activity fuelled by name awareness and extensive marketing. Furthermore, we actively promote properties via Social Media and engage in marketing on the major property portals.

Our 40+ year track record of property sales speaks volumes about our successful approach to property transactions. In addition, office refurbishments, company rebrand, investments in our website and technology show our commitment and determination to remain the best estate agent near you. 

As multiple award winners, we confidently believe we offer the best experience for sellers and purchasers. We combine the best elements of a traditional high street estate agency with the technological advances our IT investment and wide-ranging online presence provide us. Alex Neil’s commitment to the high street began in 1984. And we’ve embraced and deployed many technological and online advances since.

However, we firmly believe homeowners benefit significantly from the essentials a ‘Traditional’ high street estate agent provides. And one is the ability to deal with us in person as approachable property professionals.

Alex Neil differs significantly from the many faceless, corporate online entities masquerading as estate agents.

Questions & Answers:

Q. Can a high street estate agent help secure sellers a better price for their properties? And a more comprehensive choice of buyers?

A. Undoubtedly, yes and yes! A high street office is a 24-hour-a-day, powerful advertising tool. Home movers can visit to discuss their property matters, register requirements, organise appointments, or make offers in comfort. Selling property is about exposure; the office is another powerful marketing conduit.

Q. Online agents must be cheaper, then?

A. It rather depends on how you view paying your fees. Many online-only agencies charge upfront ‘listing fees’. Paying any service fee in advance for a sales service is generally not considered a good strategy. It removes the agent’s incentive to proactively market and promote your property.

Furthermore, local knowledge of property values that Alex Neil has increase the probability of selling your property for a higher sale price and that amount could easily exceed the perceived saving of a cheaper fee. It may cost a few thousand pounds more to pay for the result we can achieve, but a seller’s reward could be so much more!

Our experienced local teams have in-depth area, property, and development knowledge. This valuable knowledge leads to accurately priced properties and vendors achieving thousands or tens of thousands of pounds more than anticipated. The gains will often comfortably cover fees and realise more capital.
