The Halliday Way - April

Friends,

We hope you are well and full re-energized (or most likely needing a further break) after the Easter holidays!

April has been another great month for the team, not only on the sale/lettings side of the business as we have teamed up with Raro Media to create some unique marketing content. Have you noticed any of our new videos lately? If so, let us know what you think.

For those who like to see the monthly figures, here you are – our Bridge of Allan team listed 17 new listings and agreed 17 sales. In Linlithgow, the team followed suit with 11 new listings and 7 sales were agreed.

The Halliday Homes Collection – As we already know, come April 1st, the upper end of market starts the wake up! The Collections team listed 3 properties over £600,000 with the highest value property at £1,250,000. We agreed sales on 2 of these to date.

As a buyer in a very busy sellers' market, I was impressed by the personal attention provided by Halliday Homes. Marie was particularly helpful in providing guidance, having formed an accurate picture of the next home I was seeking. Prompt exchange of information and viewing details were most helpful! Heartily recommended.

If you are thinking of selling your property through Halliday Homes you won't be disappointed. I have used Halliday Homes twice now with selling my property and I have also bought through them as well. The whole team Austin, Marie and Grant are friendly, excellent at what they do and most importantly know the market. First time I used them, I sold my property within 7 days and the second time within 48 hours so they have an excellent track record in achieving great results. I simply wouldn't use any other agent!

Having just sold my flat with Halliday I can say without a doubt that I would recommend them to anyone. From start to finish the process was seamless, their local knowledge is second to none and most of all the service they provide is so personal and friendly. Grant was so helpful and accommodating, especially given that I was a first time seller and had lots of questions, nothing was a hassle. Hayley’s photos were so lovely and I’m sure had a lot to do with the interest I had on the property. I am so happy with the offer I received as a result of the platform Halliday gave my flat, selling within 24 hours of being on the market was the icing on the cake - 10/10 !!

Grant, Marie and Austin were a pleasure to work with and made the process of buying and selling as slick as possible. We were particularly impressed with Hayley’s pictures and videos that she took of our property. We were constantly kept updated through the whole process and felt like we were in safe hands.

We were very satisfied with the excellent service provided by Hallidays. Everyone was so helpful, and knowledgeable, and they made the very stressful process of selling a house seem very easy. We sold within ten days of the house being put on the market - there wasn't even time to put a board up!
