Property for Sale in the French Alps
If you are a vendor and you would
like Ascendant to market your property, our experienced
and professional team are able to value your home
and ensure that you have the opportunity to sell at
the best price in the current marketplace.
Unlike companies based in the UK,
we know our property portfolio personally and we will
have visited and photographed each new instruction
in person before completing any viewings. We live
and work in the local area and we are aware of any
new developments (such as new ski lifts going in,
new flight routes, new transport networks, additional
local services or facilities etc) that will enhance
the value of your property and that will enable us
to market it more effectively to our clients.
Communication is key to the success
of any estate agent and at Ascendant we excel in the
following areas: |
Regular contact
As a vendor you will be kept regularly updated about the progress of the viewings undertaken on your property and the feedback provided by our clients. You will have access to a password-protected and personalised vendor section of our interactive website, which details the number of viewings undertaken to your property, client feedback and whether an offer has been made. Our website also provides updates in real-time throughout the course of a sale to show where the relevant paperwork is and which stages of the sale are outstanding before completion. This is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so no matter where you are in the world, or the time of day, you are kept fully informed.
A personal service
Before any client arrives in France for a viewing trip we ensure that we have spoken to them about their property requirements over the telephone and well in advance. This enables us to really get to know our clients and identify what they are seeking from their property. Additionally and importantly, we can also ensure that any required finance is in place before the trip and propose suitable properties that the buyer may not have considered from their time on the website. The result is a constructive appointment which maximises the opportunity to sell your property to well-matched buyers. Many UK and web-based companies prefer to rely solely on email communication or fail to pass comprehensive buyer requirements on to their local contacts. As a result unsuitable properties are viewed and much time is wasted. Our professional and personal approach to both buyers and vendors avoids these pitfalls and yields positive results.
Professional presentation
All new instructions are communicated to our buyers via the Ascendant website in a clear and easy-to-read format. A client has the opportunity to view numerous digital images of your property as well as floor plans. Your property’s details can be emailed to a buyer’s friend or downloaded to review on paper. Buyers are able to register an interest in your property or even request a viewing whilst browsing the Ascendant website and they are contacted within 24 hours to discuss their requirements in more detail and confirm a viewing appointment where appropriate.
Clients are also able to visit us in our offices in the centre of the region and both buyers and vendors can be confident that we are a genuine estate agency business, registered in France. Additionally we will always accompany buyers to a viewing. We aim to spend as much time as possible with our buyers, to show them the area, the proximity of facilities to your property and to offer a professional, well-informed and personalised service.
Targeted and effective marketing
The Internet is the most effective way to ensure maximum exposure for your property, particularly when buyers need to travel from the UK, Ireland or further afield to view. As soon as we have received your written permission to commence marketing, your property will be displayed on the Ascendant website. Additionally all properties marketed through Ascendant are automatically uploaded once-daily to the Primelocation and Rightmove websites.
Through targeted online marketing, our local office, advertising in local and overseas property press and French property exhibitions, we ensure that your property is given every opportunity to be displayed and matched to the right buyer.
Real-time database
As buyers access the Ascendant website they are given the opportunity to register their property search criteria with us. Following registration they will receive details of all properties that match their requirements. Each time a new property is added to the portfolio it is checked and matched against all suitable buyers that are registered with us and an immediate alert is sent out via the buyer’s method of choice, for example email, SMS etc. This ensures that your property is consistently highlighted to the maximum number of suitable buyers.
Partnerships
As members of FNAIM (Fédération Nationale de l'Immobilier) and through our partnerships with professional local French estate agents, we are also able to propose your property to their French or international clients. This incurs no extra cost to you and maximises the exposure your property receives in the international and local markets. We will always ask for your permission to market your property through our local partners.
