OF SERVICE AS INDEPENDENT ESTATE AGENTS

Paul Wilkinson M.N.A.E.A. Director

Paul Wilkinson knows Brighton. Born and raised here, he has lived and worked across the city from Hove to Woodingdean, taking in Seven Dials, Preston Park, Fiveways, Lewes Road and more along the way.

When he joined Maslen Estate Agents in 2008 Paul already had 17 years of experience as an estate agent. A proven property sales expert with a dedicated and driven work ethic, he leads Maslen Sales by example, with a personal reputation based on giving honest and sound advice.

Working hard to achieve results for clients is something that Paul takes extremely seriously, because he loves helping people achieve their property dreams.

Maslen Sales has been recognised as one of the top 500 estate agencies in the country by The Best Estate Agent Guide for 2024, rating us as ‘exceptional’ the seventh year in a row. Having been judged against more than 13,000 competitors that’s clearly quite an achievement.

“Paul was a very helpful and experienced agent who gave sound advice and helped after a buyer withdrew their offer. Donna Holliday the sales progressor kept in touch with me at all times and liaised with both solicitors ensuring the sale completed successfully and was so reassuring, I am very grateful and appreciate her hard work.”

A Dedication to Sales Progression

Donna

Holliday

Sales Progressor

When you accept an offer on your home and the ‘For Sale’ sign is changed to ‘Sold’ it is a fantastic feeling. Here at Maslen Estate Agents we know that making sure a sale goes all the way through to completion is a key element of the services we provide and something that our clients should expect. We’re incredibly proud that our dedicated Sales Progressor Donna Holliday is regularly highlighted and praised in our 5-star Google reviews.

The work that takes place after a sale is agreed is just as important as any other aspect of our business. From the very start of the selling process we will advise you on how complicated a property chain might be and whether or not a buyer will be ready to move to schedule.

These are things that can help make the decision of accepting an offer easier, but there are often other things that can crop up which need the benefit of our experience. Communication is key, and having a dedicated Sales Progressor means that dealing with other estates agents in a chain, solicitors and surveyors is a priority rather than hidden away on someone’s To Do List. Donna is focussed on keeping on top of everything and making sure that everyone involved has all the legal documentation and information they need when they need it, making sure that everything is done to make sure your move goes as smoothly as possible.

“A big thank you to Maslen Estate Agents for all your advice and support you provided along my purchasing journey. Donna their Sales Progressor, was such a pleasure to deal with, always kept me up to date and made me feel reassured and comfortable at every stage of the purchasing process. Having worked with a few Sales Progressors during the last year you really stood out amongst your peers. I’ll be forever grateful for the home you helped me secure.

I would highly recommend Maslen Estate Agents.” Matt Cox, January 2024

At Maslen Estate Agents we take great pride in training and developing our team.

Support and guidance

People over profit is more than just a soundbite or hashtag slogan for us and that’s why we build lasting relationships with our clients. They trust us to solve problems whilst providing invaluable peace of mind throughout the sales process.

We have bought and sold through Maslen twice in Brighton. It was a smooth, professional process with great communication and attention to detail. Thanks!”

David Maslen M.N.A.E.A.,

Director of Lettings, Financial Services and Land and New Homes

David Maslen built a successful business by doing things differently.

Having worked for one of the country’s largest corporate estate agents, he knew that things needed to change. When he launched Maslen Estate Agents in 1999 his vision was to build a business on the values of trust, integrity and results, which treated every single person as an individual.

With hard work and dedication he achieved his aim and that’s exactly why Maslen Estate Agents are so well-known and respected across the city today. David’s passionate commitment to customer care is always the top priority. Today in Brighton and Hove’s extremely competitive rental sector that approach is something that is needed more than ever.

Rob Gamon M.A.R.L.A

Lettings Manager

Growing up in Hollingdean and the Fiveways areas of Brighton gave Rob a love for the city that meant when he relocated to Cheshire for four years he couldn’t resist coming back.

Rob has a great deal of property experience, having started working for a corporate estate agent in 2000 and then working his way up through the sales world. His return to Brighton in 2009 was to open a new Lettings office with a corporate company where he then qualified through ARLA Propertymark. Having joined us in 2022, Rob is based in our Lewes Road branch and plays a vital part in our team as Lettings Manager.

“Maslen have been highly efficient and communicative when letting out my two flats. They look after both the landlords and tenants well ensuring any issues are dealt with promptly including over Bank Holidays when my tenant needed the boiler fixed. There were quite a few teething issues with both flats and they were really helpful in making sure it was all sorted out. I would definitely recommend using a good letting agent such as Maslen as opposed to trying to self manage unless you are highly experienced in that area.”

Abbie Cormack, January 2024

How we do things

Online

Did you know that 95% of buyers and tenants find their property online? That’s why our listings are meticulously created and feature expertly written copy, a detailed floor plan, EPC ratings and in-depth guides around the buying and letting process.

We also have a strong presence on the two most important property websites Rightmove and OntheMarket, ensuring that your property is seen by as many potential buyers or tenants as possible.

’Featured Properties’ on the front page of our website as well as on these two portals places your property in a hugely prominent position.

Professional photography

Did you know that professional photography helps a property sell or let 1.5 times faster and also increases the chances of you achieving your asking price?

The fact that some of our competitors think it’s good enough to take photos on their phones means that they’re not paying enough attention to detail.

We always use professional photographers to show your home in its best light.

95%

OF BUYERS VIEW HOMES THEY’VE FOUND ONLINE

Floor plans

During a survey of over five thousand home movers 91% cited floor plans as being useful or essential when searching for their next property. We create professional floor plans for every property we sell or let, it’s another thing that shows we know what works.

Social Marketing

People like to connect in a variety of ways and our social marketing reaches more potential buyers than traditional print adverts.

From regular posts on our popular social media platforms to highly targeted interactive email newsletters, we give your property the maximum amount of exposure.

A personal approach to marketing

Our whole company ethos revolves around marketing properties using a distinctly personal approach each and every time. We know that our clients all have different dreams and goals and it’s our job to help turn them into reality.

How do we do it?

Our multi-level marketing

Of course your property will be featured on the online portals that really matter as part of making sure as many potential buyers as possible will know about it.

At Maslen Estate Agents we do much more too - our highly targeted newsletters and property alerts to registered buyers are designed to put your property in front of the most suitable buyers, often leading to interest even before things ‘go live’ online.

Real people, real knowledge

We pride ourselves on having a team of dedicated professionals who take the time to get to know all of the properties we market. This means on a viewing they have the answers to any questions a buyer might ask - they also know the best aspects of your home to highlight.

“I had a wonderful experience selling with Maslen from start to finish! I still can’t believe how smoothly everything went. I was regularly kept up to date (without having to ask) and was dealt with in such a professional manner. The team are so friendly and I would highly recommend. A stress-free experience for me.” Leah Davies, October 2023

Discreet marketing

There are many reasons that some sellers won’t want a prominent ‘For Sale’ sign outside their property.

We understand that discretion can be important, which is why we offer a bespoke marketing approach which takes this into account. We use non-branded cars for market appraisals and subsequent photography and viewings, and can even arrange for highly effective direct sales marketing which means your property doesn’t appear online or in the press.

We use our large regularly updated list of active potential buyers to identify those specifically looking for properties like yours and target them directly.

Professional brochures

The power of printed material is still very relevant for anyone who wants to sell their home.

Potential buyers who may have seen several properties in one day need something to focus their attention on afterwards, which is why our professional brochures are produced to industry leading standards. Feature eyecatching photography in a luxurious design package they leave a lasting impression - and even work as online ‘page turners’ too!

5 simple steps to selling with Maslen

Step 1: Valuation

We will use our unrivalled knowledge of the local housing market to give you an accurate market appraisal. We will always be transparent and honest and give you a figure that we think is achievable right from the very start.

WE PROVIDED

Step 2: Marketing preparation

We will create a package of professional photos, floor plans, EPC ratings and a description of your home that highlights all of the aspects that will appeal to potential buyers. We can even give you tips to prepare your property for our photographer to make everything as easy and straightforward as possible.

Step 3: Listings go live

The personalised marketing plan we create for you means that the minute listings go live online everything will be in place to attract the right buyer or tenant.

Step 4: Viewings

We attend every single viewing that we book so that agents can answer any questions a buyer or tenant might have as well as you could do yourself. Just as importantly, our honest and transparent approach means that we will give you all the feedback you need to keep you up to date throughout the process.

Step 5: Progressing and managing the sale

We work hard to find the perfect buyer or tenant and also to negotiate the best price for our sellers and landlords. As we promise to be with you every step of the way, once you accept an offer we know we still have a lot of work to do. When it comes to selling a property we talk to solicitors, we communicate with everyone involved and our dedicated Sales Progressor Donna Holliday will be there for you until completion.

We can oversee the whole process right through to putting it on the market once it’s ready for sale - with our “Option Agreement” you don’t necessarily even have to pay for planning permission or architect fees.
