Waters & Co. Solicitors and Estate Agents ran a summer initiative to sell houses by focusing on the gardens of properties on the market with them. Sellers were invited to enter a photograph of their garden into the Gardens in Bloom photographic competition. The gardens were judged by all the staff at Waters & Co. in large, medium and small size categories from which a Champion and Reserve Champion were then selected.
The Champion was the winner of the small garden category attached to a house in Breeden Drive, Curdworth. The proud owners were presented with a small cup, rosette and bottle of champage. A sale was agreed on the property within days of the overall winner being chosen.
The winner of the large garden section, also voted the Reserve Champion, is located in Cottage Lane, Nether Whitacre.
The winning medium sized garden is located in Church Avenue, Water Orton. This property was one of many sold during the qualifying period.
“We believe that gardens and outside space can be as important to buyers as internal specifications. We are currently displaying garden photos in our shop window and press advertising as a new angle on sales promotion” said Jonathan Cooke, estate agency manager at Waters & Co.
“Our sellers seem to like the idea and we are pleased with the added interest we have created in potential buyers. We have agreed an increased number of sales during this initiative. It was difficult picking the winning gardens, therefore we decided to award 'Highly Commended' rosettes to several runners up” stated Teresa Waters, Partner of Waters & Co.
“Our sellers were really behind the initiative and, through our combined effort, we have generated more viewings.” said Gill Barry, sales negotiator.
To coincide with the Coleshill in Bloom Window Display competition, Waters & Co. will be featuring the winning gardens as part of their window display. “We are hoping to repeat our success of 2008 and also help Coleshill to win another Gold Medal” said Teresa Waters.
