- Benefit
- Agree a price that can be justified, keeping your target price distinct from the market evidence.

Green-Acres and JamesEdition are already included in the 19 portals. They are the two international channels in this selection. The model illustrates a property's presentation.
19 listed portals. Availability depends on the property, the agency agreement and each portal’s requirements.
More channels do not mean as many distinct audiences or a guaranteed number of buyers. Reporting separates visibility, qualified enquiries, viewings and offers.

Channels, professional contacts, languages and publication timetable.
- 04Management
Enquiries, viewings, objections, offers and next decisions.
SELLER REPORT
Five perspectives on the market’s response
A single statistic decides nothing. Indicators are assessed alongside price, presentation, timing and qualitative feedback.
| Perspective | What we observe | Decision question |
|---|---|---|
| Visibility | Impressions, opens and sources of views. | Is the property reaching the right audiences? |
| Enquiries | Volume, quality, questions and contact criteria. | Does the presentation encourage people to get in touch? |
| Viewings | Visitor profiles, timing, feedback and deal-breakers. | Are targeting and qualification consistent? |
| Objections | Price, condition, charges, surroundings, layout or timetable. | Which obstacle recurs and which is isolated? |
| Offers | Amount, financing, conditions and deadlines. | Which offer provides the strongest agreement? |
