"You always feel like their most important client"
James, Flo & Hastings - Walthamstow
Kind words
High Quality Advice
James, Flo & Hastings - WalthamstowAs a property professional myself, I have high expectations of how a property should be marketed. It would be fair to say that Story of Home far exceeded these, with carefully considered photography and curated copy to really sell the intangibles.
Beyond the quality of the marketing collateral itself, I was highly impressed by the informed, considered advice I received from Mat and Stu – be that prior to launch or in the selection of a preferred buyer. SoH are happy to be challenged, they listen and are calm and rational in the advice they give, which was just so superior to any other estate agency experience I have had before.
"What Mat and Stu have nailed is the niche boutique agency approach, whereby you always feel like their most important client, whilst also making me feel confident on their market coverage and contacts."
The sale and my onward purchase were by no means straightforward, but SoH managed the process with consummate professionalism.
They were also a brilliant sounding board, particularly in the more taxing moments!
What Mat and Stu have nailed is combining the niche / boutique agency approach, whereby you always feel like their most important client, whilst also making me feel confident on their market coverage.
My property was on the market for under a week before closing a best-bids process, which is testament to both their roller-dock of potential buyers and pro-active, entrepreneurial sales approach.
We are now happily settled in our new home and are delighted with the result SoH achieved for us on the sale.
We couldn’t imagine wanting anyone else to sell our property in the future.
Helped stand out online
After initially struggling to sell our home with one of the leading high street property agents, we were curious when a personal letter taking interest in selling our house from Story of Home arrived in our letterbox. Immediately after seeing Story of Home’s selection of carefully curated, design-led homes on their website, we hoped our […]
Go The Extra Mile
We had been trying to sell our Pimlico flat for about 9 months when we turned to Story of Home. My brothers had met Mathew and Stuart when viewing a property that Story of Home had been engaged to sell, and despite neither of them buying that property in the end, my brothers said they […]
Partner in Property
When I first saw the listing from Story of Home… I paused. The property description was written like a story about the home, its personality, neighbourhood and lifespan. The style of writing was so unusual and it resonated with me. When I met Stuart, something else clicked. He is a curator of beauty and design, he was […]
In Safe Hands
We had been considering moving for a number of years, however the prospect was quite daunting as we had two separate properties to sell simultaneously, one of which was rented out. We decided to take the plunge with one of the local Hackney high street estate agents, unfortunately we didn’t receive many viewings, felt that we […]
Could Be “The One”
After six months of constantly refreshing Rightmove, I saw this place. I brought some friends to the viewing, and we joked that this could be “the one”. Of course, it was love at first sight. As a first-time buyer, I had little understanding of the London home buying process apart from a few stories from […]
Not Your Usual Agents
I was looking for a property in Marylebone for years. Did the usual and registered with all the estate agents, but when I met Stuart he listened to what I wanted and didn’t take me round to see properties for the sake of it. When I finally saw this property, Stuart addressed all my questions, […]
Always Kept Updated
I had been considering moving for quite some time but wasn’t sure if the market was strong enough to achieve the price I wanted. It was also important for me to partner with an agent who I felt was invested in my move, Stuart demonstrated that passion from the first time that we met. His […]
Passionate and Professional
Prior to instructing Story of Home, we were already on the market with a large corporate global agent. There was some initial interest, but we got the feeling that after the first few weeks, we were no longer a priority. Then one evening at a dinner party a friend suggested we should speak to Story […]
Stood Out From The Crowd
We first met Mathew in 2010 when we were looking to buy a pied-a-terre in Marylebone. We didn’t know the area particularly well back then and were speaking with lots of estate agents in Marylebone. It was Mathew who stood out from the crowd. He understood exactly what we wanted and only showed us properties […]
Passionate About London Property
My partner and I have lived in central London for over 15 years and when we started to think about upsizing our London home five years ago, we met with lots of different London estate agents. We both immediately connected with Stuart, he came across as experienced and clearly very passionate about London property. Like […]
Our
Dream Home
By the time we met Stuart we had been already been house hunting for a few months. We were speaking to lots of different estate agents, and were being bombarded with calls and emails about apartments that simply weren’t right for us. One of our main objectives was to find somewhere with a beautiful terrace […]
We Instantly Clicked
I was first introduced to Stuart and Mathew back in 2005 when I decided to sell my family home in the West End. We instantly clicked. They quickly appreciated this was a big move for me, and approached the sale with professionalism and attentiveness. Stuart found a buyer for the house within a few weeks. […]
