Choosing An Agent Matters

Choosing An Agent Matters

Not all estate agents are created equal.

Some upload your home to Rightmove, cross their fingers, and call it a day. Others chase volume – lots of listings, minimal attention.
But your home deserves more than that.
At Martyn Russell, we don’t treat your sale like a number. We treat it like a mission.


Why the right agent changes everything

The agent you choose has a huge impact – not just on the price you get, but on how smooth or stressful the whole process is.
A great agent can mean:
Better presentation
More buzz around your property
Stronger offers
Fewer delays
And someone genuinely in your corner from start to finish
Because let’s face it – the better your home looks and the more excitement we generate, the more chance you have of getting the best possible result.
It’s not rocket science – it’s just effort, care, and experience.


So what makes us different?

📅 We don’t cut corners

We invest in professional photography, drone footage, video tours, and social reels because first impressions matter.
That visual buzz translates into more clicks, more viewings, and more offers.

📊 We create competition

From Coming Soon teaser campaigns to database previews and block viewings, we design your launch to generate urgency, not just traffic.


📖 We order searches upfront

At zero cost to you, we pre-order your buyer searches so you're legally sale-ready from day one.
Other agents wait until an offer is accepted – we get ahead of delays.

🔎 We track every detail

Buyer interest, feedback, negotiations – everything is documented and shared.
You’ll never feel left in the dark about what’s happening with your sale.

👨‍💼 We’re family-run, not corporate

This isn’t a call centre. We take on fewer listings so we can spend more time on yours.
We build real relationships, treat your home like it’s our own, and focus on getting it right – not just getting it done.

💬 Real words from real people

“The difference in presentation was night and day. We had more viewings in 3 days than the previous agent had in a month.”
“Alex and the team were honest, proactive, and genuinely cared about getting us the best outcome.”
“Everything was well thought out – from the home prep advice to the videos and updates. We felt supported from day one.”

The agent you choose is your advantage

Most agents talk about “integrity” and “transparency.”
We’d rather show you what we actually do.
We’ve built our business around doing the job properly – with time, care, strategy, and execution.
No empty promises. Just a clear plan, smart tools, and the right people to make your move happen the right way.

We’re competitive on fees, but focus on value. Better marketing and planning usually means a higher sale price.
