Local Experience

The decision to sell your home is a major one, and moving house is often cited as one of life’s most traumatic events

By taking advantage of the skills and expertise of a local estate agent, who can help you market your property effectively, it’s possible to take much of the stress out of selling your home and moving to a new property.

At Innes & Mackay, we operate a well-regarded estate agency service that aims to take the burdens of selling a property away from clients.

If you are interested in selling, and want to deal with a locally based estate agent, familiar with the property market in the Highlands of Scotland including Inverness, Inverness-shire, Ross & Cromarty, the Black Isle and surrounding areas who will provide your property with maximum exposure to buyers, contact the team at Innes & Mackay.

I’d just like to say thanks to you all for a great job well done from start to finish. You’re a great team and I’ll definitely be recommending you to anyone who’ll listen.
My partner and myself would like to thank you as a team for being patient, supportive and very helpful in our long process of selling our house and buying the house of our dreams!
From the initial interaction with Paul, through to a truly unbelievable offer for our home, the whole team have been extremely professional, efficient and highly communicative at all times. 

Here to How can an Estate Agent help sell your home?

If you are considering selling your home, you will need to consider your current property and what value it might attract from potential buyers.

Valuing the property

The determination of the value of a property can be a tricky process: everyone will in all likelihood hope to secure a greater price than what they paid for it. The difficulty, however, is that there will be a need for objectivity in determining the value of any given property. In most cases, four things will determine the value of a property:

It is on the basis of this information that the ‘asking price’ of a property will be calculated. It is vital that experienced estate agents, who have knowledge of the local area and are able to offer a constructive critique of a property, carry out the valuation in order to determine a realistic asking price.

Advertising the property

A realistic valuation is of little use to sellers if this is not communicated to the wider property market via advertising.

It should be pointed out, however, that by simply advertising a property on an estate agency window might not give a property sufficient exposure to attract potential buyers.

Advertising must be focused and well-managed by experienced professionals to ensure that a property is matched with particular buyers: this increases the likelihood that the buyer’s needs will be met by the property in question, and reduce the risk of the property being on the market for a prolonged period of time.

At Innes & Mackay we offer a tailor-made programme of advertising encompassing websites, local press, radio and social media.

Negotiating the sale

The job of handling questions regarding the price of a property from buyers can be a tricky business. Buyers will expect fair value for the money that they plan to spend, while sellers will expect fair value for the money they have invested in the property.

They will be able to communicate the intentions of the parties clearly and effectively, and will be able to provide guidance on what will and will not be acceptable in facilitating the sale of a property.

It is this balance of attempting to provide a fair return to sellers, and pique the interest of buyers that estate agents are particularly good at striking.
