Town and Country Herts & Essex (whilst under the much larger umbrella of Town and Country East of England that has branches in Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, and Norfolk) is owned by us (see our beautiful faces below), Lee Venables, and Geoff Flewers. We have offices throughout Hertfordshire & Essex, and as we are both Herts & Essex men, and have both been “round the block” a few times, we have a vast knowledge of not just the Herts & Essex property market, but the actual towns, villages, and hamlets in which we work. This we believe is vital! We got together a few years ago & formed Town & Country Herts & Essex, and we opened our first shop/office in Harlow, which today is our main HQ. We decided from day one that this had to be an ESTATE AGENCY WITH A DIFFERENCE. We listened to what people had to say about their bad experiences with other companies, and put together a structure that has proved extremely successful. What you now have is a truly local Estate Agency that is working not only for the people of Herts & Essex, but for the local communities as well. TOWN & COUNTRY SPONSOR SEVERAL SCHOOLS, JUNIOR FOOTBALL CLUBS, AND LOCAL CHARITIES THROUGHOUT BOTH COUNTIES! Our ethos is to never use the “dubious and/or dated” methods used by many of our contemporaries. Therefore you will get: LEE Accurate valuations, superb marketing, and a customer service model that we are sure is second to none! WE ONLY TAKE ON A LIMITED AMOUNT OF PROPERTY so that we can guarantee we can give you the service you and your home deserves! Therefore, when you use Town and Country Herts & Essex, you will deal with one of the owners. Someone who genuinely cares about every client. Someone who will be with you every step of the way from Valuation to Completion of Sale! This has led to them achieving the following figures…….. CHANGING THE WAY ESTATE AGENCIES WORK! GEOFF
TOWN & COUNTRY HERTS & ESSEX On page 2 you were told our story, and how as owners, we are passionate about how we sell property. *OUR AVERAGE SELLING TIME IN 2022 WAS JUST 10 DAYS! SO FAR IN 2023 IT IS 14 DAYS! When we value property, we value correctly and accurately. We then market your property superbly well (so vital). * 91.93% OF ALL PROPERTY WE SOLD, SOLD FOR OR ABOVE ASKING PRICE! When the value & marketing are correct (we will go into that in greater depth on page 4), you end up with a lot more people wanting to view. When that happens we can use our experience as negotiators to get the price to where It needs to be. *66.12% OF ALL PROPERTY WE SOLD, SOLD ABOVE ASKING PRICE! *2022 WE ACHIEVED MORE THAN £3,550,000 ABOVE ASKING PRICE ON ALL OUR PROPERTIES! It isn’t rocket science! It all comes back to price and marketing. Get the price correct to start with, make sure the marketing is spot on, negotiate professionally, and your property will sell quickly & for a great price! It really is that simple!

The whole sales process starts with you having your property valued. If this isn’t done correctly and If it is put on for too much money, you simply will not sell it! If it is put on for not enough money, then it is costing you £££’s (It is worth mentioning that Town and Country are quite happy to value your property even if you are just curious as to its value. We put no pressure on you whatsoever. When you are ready, we are ready!) Valuing a property correctly is vitally important. Too many agents are quite willing to over value your property. Why would they do that? The answer is simple. They do it just to get you to put your property with them. They then tie you in with a 12-20 week contract. Why? The average selling time in Herts & Essex is 6-7 weeks! Why do they want you to sign a 12/16 or even 20 week contract? The answer is simple, they have over valued and need time to ask you to reduce your price. This is just about the worse thing that can happen. The “let’s put on for this & see what happens” scenario simply isn’t good enough! PRICE REDUCTIONS In 2021 over 17,450 properties in Herts & Essex had a price reduction. In 2022 the figure was well over 20,000! in 2022 Town and Country have had to reduce the price on just 9 properties! In 2023 the amount of reductions will almost certainly increase considerably. TOWN & COUNTRY HAVE NO LENGTH OF TIME ON OUR CONTRACTS! We sit down with you and explain exactly how we came to our valuation price, and how we would then market your property to achieve not only that figure, but hopefully even more. Don’t forget that Town and Country Herts & Essex have sold over 91.93% of its properties for, or above asking price! ACCURATE VALUATION IS VITAL. IF THE PRICE IS TOO HIGH, IT SIMPLY WILL NOT SELL!
TOWN & COUNTRY You can get the price right, you can put it on all the major portals such as Rightmove, Zoopla, On The Market etc. But if you do not get the marketing right, there is little point! • HIGH QUALITY IMAGES. We truly believe, indeed we know, that Town and Country Herts & Essex will market your property better than anyone else. FACT! That leads to a quicker sale and a higher sale price! FACT! • 30 + IMAGES. Get the way you market the property & the price correct, and it should be plain sailing. • IN DEPTH ROOM DESCRIPTIONS. We run through every single detail of how we market your property with you. We take high quality images, and lots of them. More than any other agency GUARANTEED! • IN DEPTH LOCATION ANALYSIS. • The description of your property is paramount. Each room is described in great depth, as are gardens etc. We tell a story that enthuses people to want to come & view it. PROFESSIONAL FLOOR PLANS. • A TOTAL STORY TOLD ABOUT YOUR PROPERTY. • SUPERB 16 PAGE BROCHURES FOR THE PEOPLE VIEWING MARKETING CAN INCLUDE: Just as important is how we describe your area. It’s true that if the people looking are from your area, then they already know about your area. However, most properties are sold to people from outside the area. They want to know about schools, road & rail links, shops, medical centres etc. For instance, who knew Harlow has recently been placed the 7th most expensive town to buy a property with a garden in the entire UK (based on cost per sqm)? Did you? We bet you didn’t, and neither do potential buyers. We sell your area, not just your property! MARKETING CORRECTLY PRODUCES QUICKER SALES AT FANTASTIC PRICES. FACT!
PROMOTE IT. Purely for this example we are using Harlow, but we do the same for any area! We know that most properties that are sold in Harlow, are in fact bought by people that do not live in Harlow. We also know where those people are moving from. This allows us to promote Harlow and Harlow properties on social media in those very areas! The same will apply to wherever your property is. It’s essential that we do this. There are many reasons that people relocate to a specific area. Schools, Work, Road & Rail routes, etc. It may well be that they had not considered your area, there are many reasons, so they need to be informed. WE BELIEVE WE DO THIS BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE.
People need to know about places they are thinking of moving to. How many people do you think know about the rivers that run through and close to Harlow? How many people know about the fabulous Harlow Town Park and its wonderful Pets Corner? How many people know you can eat at Nandos or Pizza Hut? How many people know Harlow has so many top brand stores? PEOPLE NEED TO BE TOLD. MARKETING IS IMPORTANT. MARKETING YOUR AREA IS KEY!
