The valuation request answered in sixty seconds, at 9pm.

A seller asks three agents for a valuation on a Sunday evening. The one who replies first, with a time in the diary, has the head start.

For the valuer

Today, without it

  1. Valuation requests arrive in the evening and are read the next morning.

  2. The valuer spends the first hour of the day ringing people who do not pick up.

  3. A request that gets a slow reply has often been booked by another agent.

How it runs

Four steps, nobody chasing.

  1. STEP 1

    A valuation request from your site or a portal is answered within a minute, any hour.

  2. STEP 2

    The seller is asked the questions your valuer would ask, and offered real slots.

  3. STEP 3

    The appointment lands in the valuer's diary with the property details attached.

  4. STEP 4

    Anyone who goes quiet gets a polite nudge, then is handed to a person.

Your numbers

What slow replies cost in instructions

Example figures, change them

From your website forms and portal leads.

Evenings, Sundays and before you open.

Your own rate over the last year.

What a completed sale brings in, on average.

Fee value attached to out-of-hours requests

£17,280 a month

Requests arriving outside office hours
18 a month
Instructions those would be, at your own rate
5.4 a month
The same over twelve months
£207,360

The sum

40 requests a month × 45% outside office hours = 18 requests. 18 × 30% that become instructions = 5.4 instructions. 5.4 × £3,200 average fee = £17,280 a month. This is the fee value sitting in those requests, not a forecast of how many are won or lost.

This is arithmetic on your own figures. It is not a promise of results.
