CORRIE AND CO
FOR one Cumbrian estate agent, the impact of social media on house selling has been a positive one. The traditional practice of displaying images of houses for sale on the walls of the office has largely given way to online advertising, and this has proved to be a bonus for Corrie and Co.
Properties for sale through their offices in Ulverston, Millom, and their new office in Barrow, are displayed with exceptional photography on all the major portals; Rightmove, Zoopla, and OnTheMarket.com, giving potential customers the information they need to follow up on the properties they are interested in.
Corrie and Co also offer strategic targeting of certain audiences, such as on Facebook and Instagram, often booking viewings for houses from targeted marketing, without going on portals!
The family-run estate agency believes that professionalism and experience bring results, and the ethos of the company is, and has always been: "The requirements of our clients always come first and are our priority".
After gaining experience in the industry for 25 years, the agency was founded more than ten years ago by David Corrie, along with his wife Melanie, in partnership with the Cavendish family.
David says: “With our dedicated and knowledgeable team, we work within the local community to bring the best service to our customers, and, importantly, get them moved to their new home, whether buying or renting.
“As part of the opening of the new Barrow branch, we have embraced the changes to modern estate agency, and the resultant reduction in footfall into the shops. The benefit has been that our customers now engage with the sales team - they sit and chat, peruse our homes, giving the opportunity to cross-sell and build a relationship with our valued buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants.”
An additional bonus to being in the new location is that it is within closer proximity to Brown and Murray Legal Services, with whom they have a close working association, for the benefit of their clients.
Corrie and Co also have expert links to other lawyers and also Independent mortgage advisors, where clients can access services and mortgages from searching 'whole of the market' products from various professionals - a truly independent service.
Corrie and Co offer free valuations, without obligation and a no sale, no fee agency term. If you’re curious, or serious about selling, letting or investment, we would be delighted to assist and welcome the opportunity to visit you.
