Social Media and E-Marketing We will actively market your property using social media via our popular Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. The interconnectedness and ubiquity of social media means that the potential for exposure is immense. Twitter has an estimated 16 million users in the UK and Facebook has around 44 million UK users, many of whom are in the 35 – 54 age demographic. The use of carefully targeted posts can ensure that your property isn’t just seen, but is seen by the right people based on age, gender, locations and even specific interests. We can present your property across multiple channels and in doing so ensure that potential buyers are not being missed. Your property will also be included in e–marketing initiatives ensuring that it is marketed directly to genuine proceedable buyers.

Choosing the best approach to deliver your sale We generally recommend one of three methods to deliver your sale, a private treaty sale, a sale by informal tender or an auction. We can also discuss offering your property for sale on a discreet off-market basis. Whichever method we recommend, our goal is always the same; to deliver a sale that reflects your requirements and to generate the highest selling price.
12 | Residential and Rural Estate Agency
Private Treaty
The majority of private house sales are delivered by the private treaty method. This tried and tested route allows time to fully search the market and secure the best buyer and then to agree a timetable that will lead to the exchange and completion of your sale.
Auctions
We regularly conduct successful public auctions in the traditional way. We also use online auctions which are a highly effective and transparent way to deliver a sale in a fixed time frame. The online approach encourages participation, entices well-funded buyers, stimulates bidding and can achieve excellent selling prices.
Informal Tender
An informal tender sale is appropriate where a property is likely to generate competitive interest and we need an effective way to draw the sale together whilst producing the best possible result for you and without alienating potential purchasers.
Off Market Sale
Depending on your requirements, and the sort of home you own, you may wish to offer your property to the market discreetly, and delay or avoid an open market campaign. We take great care to understand what our buyers want and regularly agree sales without the property ever being publicly marketed.

Thanks for being the best support team anyone could wish for. My very best wishes to you all. Mrs E
We chose Fisher German over another agent as their professionalism was apparent from our first meeting. Their friendly and honest approach was very refreshing. The brochure/website listing that they created was to the highest standard and showed our property off to its best advantage and we were fortunate enough to secure a sale on the first round of viewings. Throughout the whole process they went above and beyond what we were expecting from an estate agent and liaised with us, our solicitor and our purchaser on a regular basis. We would certainly recommend their services to anyone considering selling their property. Mrs M
The Fisher German agency team were the most professional, knowledgeable and kindest estate agents I’ve ever had the pleasure to deal with. They have made what can be an extremely stressful and difficult time so easy with their empathy and dedication to their clients. Utterly exceptional! Mrs V

Don’t just take our word for it… We are proud of our excellent feedback with happy and contented clients across the UK. The quotes speak for themselves, and we are determined to do our best to ensure that you are equally as pleased with our service.
Our negotiator was extremely professional, kept us informed at all times, and was a delight to deal with. We would like to thank her, very much indeed, for completing the sale of our property. Mr and Mrs W
We are firmly of the view that we would not have reached agreement had it not been for the calm and very patient way in which the Fisher German team have conducted the sale, we are very grateful. Throughout our very protracted negotiations they remained loyal and professional. Mr and Mrs R
The expertise and dedication to ensure your sale goes ahead You’ll find that our teams work tirelessly, staying close to every aspect of the proposed transaction until you’re safely on your way to your next home. Stuart Flint, Head of Agency
Agreeing the best sale is just the start. An astonishing amount of property sales fail after they have been agreed, causing a great deal of turmoil, cost and of course huge frustration as the marketing window passes and the process has to begin again. Our record for agreeing sales and keeping them on track until contracts become binding is second to none. Our sale progression processes ensures that we have all of the facts at our finger tips - we know when a search has been ordered, when a mortgage has been applied for, in fact when all of the crucial milestones of your sale are When we put our property on the market it was tempting to use an online estate reached and passed. Each stage is carefully agent, however we wanted the personal touch and managed to smooth the way towards a an agent with local knowledge. Fisher German have successful conclusion. Most importantly, been incredibly helpful and nothing was too much you are kept fully up to date with trouble! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to friends progress. and family in the future.

Local knowledge, national reach The knowledge and expertise provided by your local office is complemented and enhanced by our National Country Agency Team. Whilst local and regional buyers make up the largest group of potential purchasers for most properties, the ability to reach and promote your property to a national market can add a valuable advantage to your sale. The team specialises in the sale of a broad range of property, and typically with the sale of country houses, farms and estates. Where properties are more complex, or perhaps of a higher value, the team can provide technical expertise and guidance to chart a clear path through the myriad and often convoluted factors that could be influential in the sale. Part of the connectivity of the team is to coordinate the London exposure of your property, utilising LonRes, the premier network and data source for over 6000 leading agents working in London. By instructing Fisher German, you are connecting your property to the best possible network of London buyers who are relocating out of the capital, at no extra cost to you. Current estimates suggest that the LonRes network have in excess of 100,000 active buyers, many who are selling in London and relocating to the countryside.
