Information For Sellers
Are you selling in North Somerset, the Wrington Vale, the Chew Valley, the Yeo Valley, or in the Mendips and Somerset?
What do we do at Debbie Fortune Estate Agents?
Firstly, we provide you with a market appraisal – our opinion of the likely selling price. This part of our service is a combination of art and science! The science comes from local comparable properties, market conditions and financial forecasts. The art bit is much harder. Your house may be utterly unique with a great view… so the science goes out of the window and the art takes over; after all, what‘s a view worth?
That’s where we call in over 40 years of experience and success. We want to get it right. This is also the time that we give you tips which will help you get the best possible price for your home – our “House Doctor” service. More often than not a ‘declutter’ is all that’s needed. Sometimes more radical help is required. We can guide you through all of this so that when your home launches to the market it is correctly priced and stands out from the crowd.
Our extensive marketing
Our extensive marketing includes professional and/or drone photography, advertising on Rightmove, OntheMarket and our own website, plus property videos, social media posts and reels, and a digital colour brochure incorporating a floor plan.
For new instructions from October 2026, we charge an onboarding fee of £240 plus VAT (£288 including VAT) per property. This contributes towards the cost of preparing and professionally marketing your home, including photography, floorplans and the initial compliance checks required before marketing begins.
The full onboarding fee is deducted from our commission when your sale completes, meaning there is no additional cost if we successfully sell your property.
Under these terms, there is no separate withdrawal fee should you subsequently decide to take your property off the market.
Our personal service means we keep in touch every step of the way, right up until the day you move. But don’t just take our word for it; visit our Testimonials page to read our most recent Google reviews.
