Effe ct ive Market ing

We understand that to achieve your goal of selling

your home for the best price in your required time

frame, we need to market your property effectively to

create an immediate impact with buyers and be seen

by as wide an audience as possible.

As well as comprehensive coverage on all the leading

property portals, our High Street presence, reputation,

website, ground-breaking and award-winning marketing

mean we attract thousands of exclusive potential buyers.

Martyn Gerrard is the first estate agent to offer free

video presentations of the properties we are selling.

These HD quality property videos allow potential

buyers to get a real feel of the property and encourage

viewings that still photography alone cannot achieve.

The videos also enhance the online presence we can

offer your property. They boost the search engine

optimisation (SEO) and with our investment in state

of the art online technology means that we and the

properties we are marketing regularly appear on page

one of a buyers google search.

Our innovative property details don’t include the

usual flowery estate agent speak. We provide the

information that is key to a prospective buyer, including

floor plans and high quality photography. We were

one of the first estate agents to include “The Owner

Loves”. These are personal insights from the current

owners which turn a property into a home.

We appreciate you

We appreciate that providing an honest friendly

and personal service, backed up by knowledge

and experience is what Customer care is all about.

This has been at the heart of our ethos since Martyn

Gerrard opened his first office in Whetstone in 1964.

Over 60% of our business comes from recommendation,

reputation or people returning who have bought and

sold from us in the past, which proves that we understand

that the people we deal with are as important as the

property we sell.

In 2011 we appeared in the Channel 4 series

“Mary Portas – Secret Shopper”. Many people

have commented that this was very brave and we

felt it was a great opportunity to have Mary’s retail

experience cast a fresh eye over what we do and

provide some innovative ideas and a fresh approach

to what many see as staid industry norms.

She recognised existing high service standards and

helped us to refine certain areas to ensure we offer

unrivalled and unique customer service.

Ms D.M., Whetstone

MG in the Community

Helping the communities we work in has always been

one of our priorities at Martyn Gerrard.

There are a number of local projects, schools and

charities for which we have helped raise tens of

thousands of pounds.

We have sponsored Summer and Christmas fairs,

quiz nights, school football teams and during the

Jubilee supported local street parties. We have

continued our long-standing association with the

North London Hospice to which we have donated in

excess of £50,000 over the years.

In 2012 St Mary’s Primary School in Finchley needed

to raise money to renovate their school library. When

we found out they were struggling to raise the funds

we stepped in with a donation to finish the work.

The school generously offered to name it the “Martyn

Gerrard library” in honour of the donation.

2013 sees us playing a major role in funding and

project managing the ‘Victorian House’ scheme for

Coleridge School in Crouch End.
