Sales Information
Our Sales Services
Experienced And Caring Professionals
When we first opened we felt it imperative to surround ourselves with the very best people. Our hand-picked team offer combined agency experience in excess of 100 years and are honest, professional, hard working, enthusiastic, determined, caring…...we could go on.
Our offices in Hatfield Peverel and Latchingdon enable us to cover Essex with ease and experienced staff with knowledge of your local property market.
We offer a more personal service giving you the option to deal one on one with a specific staff member should this be your wish. You will also be provided with our mobile telephone numbers should you require any assistance and need to speak to us out of office hours.
Appointing individuals with limited industry experience or local knowledge could cost you thousands of pounds, along with unwanted stress.

All of our market appraisals are carried out by a senior member of staff to assess the current value of your property and discuss a marketing plan that works for your individual needs and time scales.

Pro-active Sales Tactics
Here at Paul Mason Associates we don't just sit and wait for the phone to ring. Once instructions have been received to sell your property, we immediately telephone and e-mail all suitable applicants and circulate your property details to them. We will then endeavour to follow up potential buyers and keep you updated with any interest shown in the property.
Professional Photography
All of our senior members of staff have received professional training in photography which will make sure your home is shown at it's best in our marketing material. We can also offer our clients an independent professional photographer with the option of elevated pictures at an additional cost.
Feedback After Every Viewing
We will provide honest feedback after every viewing, along with advice and recommendations if necessary, to help you achieve the maximum price for your property.
Open Houses/Launch Day’s
We're one of the few local estate agents who make effective use of open houses and launch days. These are funded, organised and run by our team and often generate a high amount of interest in one day, which could potentially lead to offers in excess of the guide price.
Online Marketing
In today’s world most people look for a home online and your property will be shown on www.rightmove.co.uk, www.onthemarket.com and our own website www.paulmasonassociates.co.uk. Many of our properties are displayed on Rightmove as Premium Listings. These are designed to stand out from normal listings and Rightmove's own statistics prove properties that are displayed in this way secure higher levels of enquiries from potential buyers.
Accompanied Viewings
We are happy to accompany all viewings as part of our bespoke service which we can tailor to suit your own needs or requirements. We are here to make the whole process as smooth as possible and having an experienced member of staff conduct the viewings can often help to do this.
Qualify Your Buyer
It is vitally important to make sure that your potential purchaser has been fully qualified in terms their ability to proceed. This could be checking that their mortgage has been agreed in principle, requesting proof of funding from ‘cash buyers’, checking that deposit monies are available or verifying the purchasers chain by speaking to agents or lawyers involved. If this is not done correctly it could potentially cost you time and money should the sale fall though.
Regular Sales Progress
We are experienced in the conveyancing process and we will regularly chase solicitors, brokers, buyers and the property chain to ensure a smooth transaction, keeping you informed and updated every step of the way. Our experience and expertise helps us identify potential problems before they occur, making sure everything runs as smoothly as possible.
Competitive Fees
What's a reasonable fee for handling the sale of your home? There are agents who will charge lower fees than Paul Mason Associates, and others that will charge more. We always ensure that our commission rates are competitive yet still offer a quality service to our clients at a fair price.
Unlike some agents we do not charge upfront fees to market your property. We work on a percentage of the sale price, meaning the more we achieve for your property the more we earn ourselves.
Communication
We will always return your calls, messages and emails promptly. You will also be provided with our mobile telephone numbers should you require any assistance and need to speak to us out of office hours.
EPC & Floor Plans
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are needed whenever a property is either built, sold or rented. The EPC contains information about a property’s energy use and typical energy costs. It also makes recommendations about how to reduce energy use and save money. An EPC gives a property an energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and is valid for 10 years. As long as you have already ordered and paid for an EPC then you are permitted to put your property on the market.
We use selected and qualified Energy Assessors who can conduct the required Energy Performance Certificate for your home. They will also produce professionally drawn floorplans to use within our marketing material. We have carefully selected the right people because we know you will be comfortable with them in your home.
Low Key Marketing
As well as high profile property marketing, we offer a more discreet low key service should this be required. This service is bespoke and tailored to your own individual needs. We are able to find the best buyers and secure the best prices whilst preserving confidentiality.
Peace Of Mind
We are members of The Property Ombudsman Scheme, an independent arbitration service, who are there to support you and give assistance in the unlikely event of a problem arising which we are unable to resolve to your satisfaction.
