Week 5 - DM & Co. Homes - The Solihull Property Market

An incredibly exciting week for me across the business, my phone has been red hot all week with referred business continuing to be the very best source of new business.

Thank you to all of those that have introduced me to new clients -  those that know me, know that I have a very strong feeling about not being stuck behind the desk - this week, I spent most of it away from it and have opened some fantastic doors.

I thoroughly enjoyed meeting with a prospective client that said that I was the first agent to challenge them on price, it led to an incredibly open and transparent conversation and is certainly not business lost. I feel so strongly about not setting unrealistic sales prices, it doesn’t do anybody any favours - we have strategy for those that would like to protect the sale price of their property (fire me a message or drop me a line to find out more about this!)

Thank you to Kamran Saleem of Motor Serv UK (based in Cranmore and home to the £15 MOT) for inviting me to the Signature Awards at The ICC last night, it was great to see so many familiar faces and clients.

That’s enough from me - here’s the round-up from across the business!

“The Landlord Club strikes again with another sale on an apartment (not on the open market) & sold within 24 hours of instruction! We will be securing a fabulous tenant for this in Spring. We have a range of properties launching next week keeping Elise busy speaking to lots of people that are searching for the perfect property and giving them exclusive opportunities to view! I am buzzing to be going into next week with so many hot opportunities!” - Gabrielle Argue, Lettings Manager

“This department becomes more and more exciting week after week! Thank you Lisa for the referred business this week, I have three amazing new instructions in B93, have agreed two sales agreed and one family got the keys to their fabulous home that sits within Solihull Prime. We still have lots of families looking in specific locations - Hampton Lane, Lady Byron Lane, Penn Lane, Poolhead Lane, as demand for larger gardens continues - please do get in touch if you’re thinking of moving - I would absolutely love to hear from you!” - Kathy Griffiths, Head of Premium

“A new month and new properties ready for viewing! The team have been so busy this week, resulting in jam packed viewing diaries, and achieving amazing sale prices for our homeowners. The demand from first time buyers is incredible- if you have a property under £500,000 in B93 please get in touch! A special mention to Evie who stepped up and filmed her first sneak peek, she’s a natural and you’ll be seeing much more of her this month!” - Lisa Smith, Branch Manager - Dorridge

“A strong start to the month for the Solihull office, with new instructions falling just short of double figures! So much activity with our pre-market properties and a good week for sales agreed including the fabulous property on The Crescent. Stay tuned for sneak peeks on Monday - some excellent properties to announce!” - Jo Sanders, Branch Manager - Solihull

“An unbelievably busy week for Land & New Homes - some great introductions Dom! The launch of two brand new luxury homes in Solihull town centre saw an incredible response with a fantastic number of enquiries and registrations, all now awaiting an appointment to view plans next week. Off plan sales on both units expected here. Multiple sites with and without planning were introduced, off-market, to select developers including one site with planning for 40+ apartments and another site with planning for 9 houses to name just two of five opportunities we were instructed to sell this week. Whilst it’s rare that we take such opportunities to the market, we will be launching a single plot in a prime location this weekend!” - Chris Evans, Land & New Homes Manager

Thank you for taking the time to read this update and remember - selling your home is never easy, there will always be something that doesn’t quite go to plan - what is incredibly important is how your agent reacts to these instances. If you would like to learn more about how we operate, please get in touch with the Solihull or Dorridge office on 0121 775 0101 or 01564 777 314 respectively.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Dominic Murphy
