AT A GLANCE
- Location: Smethwick/Sandwell
- Key Service Provided: Sales Progression
THE BRIEF
After a previous sale fell through with another estate agent, the sellers turned to Oakmans looking for a team they could trust to deliver a successful move. With plans to relocate, securing the right buyer was only part of the journey. They also needed an experienced team to manage the sale through to completion, even if challenges arose along the way.
THE RESULT
The property was launched to the market and sold subject to contract in less than four weeks, allowing the sellers to move forward with confidence. During the conveyancing process, delays relating to the buyer's mortgage and legal matters threatened to slow the transaction. However, Oakmans' dedicated Sales Progression team remained in constant contact with all parties, working proactively to maintain momentum and successfully guide the sale through to completion.
WHAT WE DID
- Created a professional marketing campaign that generated strong buyer interest.
- Secured a committed buyer in less than four weeks from the property going live.
- Worked closely with solicitors, mortgage brokers and all parties involved to keep the transaction progressing.
- Chased updates, resolved issues where possible and ensured communication never stopped.
- Supported the sellers from instruction through to completion, providing expert guidance and reassurance throughout.
THE OUTCOME
This case highlights the importance of expert sales progression. While delays during the legal and mortgage process are often outside an estate agent's control, having a dedicated team actively managing the transaction can make all the difference. Thanks to consistent communication, persistence and a proactive approach, Oakmans successfully delivered a completed sale, enabling the sellers to relocate with confidence.
The sellers were delighted with the service they received and were happy to recommend Oakmans to others, praising the team's support, communication and commitment throughout the entire journey.
