Sometimes at Bartlett & Partners we tell ourselves to stop being estate agents.

As professionals who market and sell luxury properties all day, every day, we occasionally forget what a difficult decision selling a home can be.

Your home is the centre of your universe. It holds years of memories, happy and sad. It could be where you grew up, where you started a family or where you fell in love.

Little wonder, then, that the process of selling your home can trigger a wave of emotions.

There is excitement, naturally, at the start of a new adventure. But you may also feel nostalgic, sentimental – sometimes even downright sad. All these emotions are perfectly normal.

It’s a huge step – maybe the biggest you’ll ever make and it cannot be rushed.

You might be wondering where we’re going with this…

Well, the point is that as professional estate agents Kristian and myself are here to help, and I don’t just mean help you sell your home.

I sometimes joke with Kristian that we’re agony uncles first, estate agents second. Our clients are never afraid to share their hopes and fears when they’re selling their home. And we always listen.

If anything, it makes us proud that our clients trust us enough to confide.

When you’re embarking on such a delicate journey, the last thing you want is an estate agent forcing his pen into your hand trying to make you sign on the dotted line.

Kristian and I take a different approach. We personally take you on the whole selling journey.

Just you and us.

We’ve been doing this job for more than 30 years between us and we’ve been happy to help people in all sorts of difficult situations. We’re considerate, confidential and we never pester you.

We’re always just a phone call, Whatsapp message or email away to talk through any doubts.
For further information, why not get in touch? - We're here to help.
