Alongside dial-up internet, VHS tapes, and Ceefax, the traditional estate agent “buyer list” has had its day. Here’s why we do things differently - and why it works.
Alongside dial-up internet, VHS tapes, and Ceefax, the traditional estate agent “buyer list” has had its day. And yet, walk into most valuations in 2026 and you’ll still hear the same tired pitch: “Don’t worry, we’ve got buyers waiting for a property just like yours.”
The reality? Those lists are usually months, sometimes years, out of date. Most of the names on them have already bought, moved on, or lost interest entirely.
What We Do Instead
Instead of relying on a stale list of names who bought months ago, we generate live, real-time buyer interest in your property before it even hits the market.
Our new Coming Soon page puts your home in front of active, motivated, proceedable buyers days before it officially launches on Rightmove, Zoopla, and OnTheMarket. By the time your listing goes live, we’ve already built genuine momentum, and viewings can be booked from day one.
And It Works
We trialled this approach with three listings:
- 1One sold before it even made it to the open market
- 2The other two generated four viewings each from pre-market interest alone
That’s real buyers, real interest, and real momentum - before a single portal ever saw the property.
What This Means for Sellers
- Fresh, real-time interest - not names on a dusty spreadsheet
- Momentum from launch day - not week three
- More competition between buyers - which drives the final sale price up
- Less time on the market - and a smoother path to sold
It also solves one of the biggest buyer frustrations we hear - calling to book a viewing only to find the property has already sold. Now they get a proper head start, and you get first pick of the buyers most serious about your home.
