Marketing Manager at Bernards Estate Agents

I joined Bernards as their photographer back in January 2015. At this point I was still studying for my Degree at the University of Winchester, so i was working for Bernards on a self-employed basis. After graduating I was approached by Daniel Byrne, who offered me the position of Take-On Manager. As Take-on Manag
er, i\\\'m responsible for the marketing of properties for both sales and lettings for all offices. I also manage the social media for the company, a responsibility I very much enjoy.

I trust Ross Whelan’s experience and market insights for all my property transactions in Portsmouth. Whether it is for prospecting, gauging market sentiment, sales strategies and valuation, I find Ross very competent, proactive and reliable. He understands my requirements and always keep me updated. He’s one of the best and I’m sure under his management, his branch will continue to thrive. Last but arguably as important, Matthew Sankey takes his marketing assignments to a personable level. He makes an effort to listen to my needs and will make appropriate suggestions accordingly. He shows flexibility and common sense in his communications and is a problem solver. Overall, 2 great individuals I have worked with and continue to do so. They both deserve a big pay rise.

Dealing with Bernards Fareham has been a breath of fresh air - an open, honest, proactive and very knowledgeable team headed up by David. Nothing short of a detailed review would do justice to the quality of their work and service, so here we go:
We knew about Bernards before going on the market, but to be honest at the time they just seemed to be some small unknown estate agent, which we assumed would not have the experience, knowledge or reach of the established ones. However, after a few months on the market with our previous agent it simply felt like no progress was being made despite all our best efforts to make the property look as pristine as possible, we never had any proper feedback, viewings were rare and all we got were useless stock excuses on the rare occasion we had contact with them.
So, with Bernards fresh in mind from a recent marketing letter we decided "fine, let's see if you can do better", not expecting too much. Within minutes of phoning up to book a valuation Gemma had already hand delivered a full info brochure, which was the first detail to really impress us, as it showed Bernards are proactive - and that is probably the best single word I could use to sum up the whole experience.
Bernards Fareham are not content with simply sitting back and letting viewings come to them, as other agents seem to, the team (and David in particular) pull out all the stops to get your property in view of as many people as possible. David's knowledge of the area is encyclopedic, he knows seemingly every house on the market and every potential buyer, putting that knowledge to great use to bring in people that would otherwise never know about your property.
At the valuation he gave us open and honest feedback, adjusted the contract to suit our specific needs, told us about the many ways he could improve the way our property was presented for sale to make it more desirable without making any notable changes or dropping the price, and gave us a firm promise of a quick move as long as we trusted him and left it all in their hands (which was very appreciated as, quite frankly, you expect to be paying an estate agent to handle everything about selling your house for you).
David's sales skills are in another league too, never before have I met any estate agent who puts in so much thought and effort to present the house in the best possible light, to tailor the viewing to the potential buyer so that they can imagine themselves living there, to learn from any negative feedback about the house so that changes can be made to avoid that ever popping up again. The one time we did have a problem after a viewing instead of just a generic phone apology David rushed around in person to address and solve it immediately, it was a small gesture but it really did feel like customer satisfaction was the absolute priority.
And the end result is that in just over a week we'd had more interest than in months with the prior agent, as well as offers at and above our asking price.
Special shoutouts as well go to Gemma for being a great point of contact in the office, and Matthew the photographer, whose photos did a fantastic job of highlighting all the best points of the property.

Having used and been severely disappointed by the so called leading estate agents we purposely sought out an independent agent this time for the sale of our home. We were really honest with the team at Bernard's about our previous disappointments and explained what we wanted more than anything was clear communication.
Bernards came up with a plan to market our home and within days we had multiple offers and great communication. The marketing and brow hire were excellently put together in less than 24 hours.
Lee and the team did everything they promised and made sure we were happy, you can't ask for more.
Here's to a stress free exchange and completion.

Everyone at Bernards I have had communication with has been extremely professional, courteous and most importantly, helpful. David M has gone above and beyond to help me achieve an excellent price for my property while being in regular contact - explaining the process in simple terms and making helpful suggestions along the way. Matthew S took high quality photos that made my property look it's best and doubtless drew more interest than would otherwise have been the case. When compared with images taken by other local agents they are clearly superior and I have no doubt that these, along with David's relentless energy and determination to do the very best for me and in combination with his obvious experience and superb knowledge of the local property market have helped me to achieve a record price for a property on my road in super-fast time with minimal stress. Based on my experience and that of a close friend who also sold with Bernards, I would have no hesitation in recommending Bernards to anyone looking to buy, sell or let.
