7:00 AM – The Calm Before the Storm
My day starts early. With a cup of coffee in hand, I check emails and messages that may have come in overnight. Buyers often send late-night queries after browsing listings online, and I want to be ready to respond promptly. I also review my calendar: viewings, valuations, client calls, and legal follow-ups—it’s all there, mapped out to the minute.
I also take this time to scan the local property market. What’s just been listed? What’s gone under offer? What trends are emerging? This constant awareness helps me guide sellers like you with up-to-date advice on pricing and positioning your home effectively.
8:30 AM – Property Prep and Marketing Strategy
Next, I focus on active listings. If your home is currently on the market with me, this is when I’m checking how it’s performing. Are the right people seeing it? Are we getting inquiries? How is it ranking on portals like PropertyGibraltar, Idealista or Zoopla?
I work closely with professional photographers, copywriters, and even virtual tour providers to ensure your home is presented in the best possible light. A strong first impression is everything. I might also be scheduling a drone shoot for a countryside property or tweaking listing descriptions to highlight features that buyers are currently loving—like home offices or energy-efficient upgrades.
Marketing is far more than uploading a few photos. It’s about strategy. Every home has a story, and it’s my job to tell it in a way that grabs attention and drives action.
10:00 AM – Valuations and Consultations
One of my favorite parts of the job is meeting potential sellers. This morning, I’m heading out to do two market appraisals. When I step into someone’s home, I’m not just looking at bricks and mortar—I’m evaluating how to position it in the market to attract serious, qualified buyers.
This is where my local knowledge and experience come in. I’ll compare your home with recent sales, consider its unique features, and discuss your timeline and expectations. I’ll also offer honest, data-backed advice—because setting the right price from the start is critical.
For you, it’s a chance to get a feel for how I work. You should feel confident that I’ll represent your best interests every step of the way.
12:30 PM – Negotiations and Progression
Back at the office (or sometimes from the front seat of my car), I make calls to progress ongoing sales. Maybe we’ve had a great offer come in on your property—now I’m negotiating to get it to the best possible figure, ensuring the buyer is in a proceedable position.
This is where you really start to see the value of an experienced agent. Negotiation isn’t just about numbers—it’s about understanding motivations, managing expectations, and knowing when to hold firm or be flexible. A good agent can add thousands to your final sale price.
I also liaise with solicitors, surveyors, and mortgage advisors to keep transactions moving. Sales can stall without proactive follow-up, so I make sure every party involved is on task and informed.
2:00 PM – Viewings and Buyer Feedback
Afternoons often involve viewings. This is another area where my focus is on your success as a seller. I don’t just open doors—I guide buyers through your home with purpose. I highlight its strongest features, help them visualize living there, and listen carefully to their feedback.
That feedback is crucial. After every viewing, I’ll relay what the buyers said—both good and bad. It gives us valuable insight and helps shape future marketing or staging tweaks if needed.
I’m also vetting buyers throughout. Not everyone who walks through your door is ready to proceed. My job is to identify the serious contenders so your time isn’t wasted.
4:30 PM – Catch-Ups and Client Calls
Toward the end of the day, I check in with sellers. If your home is on the market, you’ll hear from me regularly. We’ll discuss how things are going, what’s working, and what we might need to adjust. Selling a home can be emotional, and part of my role is being a steady, experienced guide through it all.
If you’re still at the early stages of thinking about selling, I’m happy to chat then too—no pressure, just advice. Many of my clients appreciate having a sounding board before they commit to listing.
6:00 PM – The Final Push
Evenings often bring more activity—buyers are off work and ready to talk. I may squeeze in a few after-hours viewings or respond to listing inquiries. Being flexible with my time ensures we don’t miss opportunities.
Before I wrap up, I’ll review what’s coming tomorrow. Any new listings to prepare? Offers to negotiate? Contracts to chase? I make sure everything’s lined up, so when the sun rises again, I’m ready to hit the ground running.
Final Thoughts for Sellers
As you can see, selling a home isn’t just about putting it on the market—it’s a full-time, high-energy, detail-oriented job. And that’s exactly what I love about it. Every day is different, but my mission is always the same: to get you the best possible result.
If you're thinking about selling, my biggest piece of advice is this: choose an agent who treats your home like a priority, not just a listing. Someone who’s proactive, responsive, and fully invested in your success.
Behind the scenes, I’m strategizing, marketing, negotiating, and troubleshooting—so you don’t have to. Because selling your home is a big deal, and you deserve someone who takes it just as seriously as you do.
