15/12/18: 'We’d heard of James through a friend of a friend, and had been informed of the successes he’d enjoyed whilst working the Dubai real estate market. So when we decided upon which agent to use, it was the natural choice to go with him and his company, Homed:In. We had admittedly originally instructed a different agency to try and sell our 2 bedroom flat, but unfortunately they didn’t produce. James has since brought two offers to the table, one of which we will likely be proceeding with. As a start-up business, I didn’t perceive there to be any risk. To me, it all comes down to the individual, and to that end James has been proactive, communicative, punctual, professional and he possesses a strong work ethic. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend again.
Why did you choose Homed:In over another estate agent?
We’d heard through the grapevine how effective James was at selling property. He was recommended to us and, after a disappointing experience with another estate agent, decided to switch to Homed:In.
How did you find your experience with Homed:In?
From start to finish, they’ve been a breath of fresh air. Always on the other end of the phone, always looking to grab at any buyer who shows interest, and always friendly!
What’s your opinion of the hybrid/online estate agency model and why, if at all, would you recommend others towards selling their home this way?
I must admit, at first I was slightly skeptical about this new ‘online’ type of estate agency. Our friends sold Purplebricks, and they didn’t have a good experience. What I soon learned though was that Homed:In aren’t an online agent in the sense that they actually DO accompany viewings and charge post sale. Which came as a nice surprise.
How do you plan on spending the money you saved in commission?
Good question! The property we are moving in to needs a fair bit of DIY. So I’ll likely be spending it on the new kitchen, plus LOTS of paint!!'
