Selling Your Home
Coast & Country Real Estate was established in 2020 by two of the area’s most well-known estate agents, Chris Trott & Phil Cole. We are highly professional with decades of experience shared with our team on both residential sales, letting and land and new homes delivering a bespoke service to sellers, buyers, developers, investors, landlords, and tenants.
Coast & Country covers a wide area of the West Sussex coastline with offices in Worthing and Goring by Sea and have successfully sold and rented homes from Littlehampton to Hove and all areas in between.
We operate with one principle, our clients.
Our unique style allows us to have a highly focused approach to each individual client and property while ensuring that we utilise our combined skills to achieve the best results. We have over 130 years of combine experience with a loyal client base that has helped us become one of the fastest growing estate agents in the area.
Market Appraisal/Property Valuation
For many homeowners the moving journey and deciding to sell a property takes place long before putting a property on the market. Moving home is one of the biggest events that takes place in life, so we ensure that our free market appraisals and valuations are always conducted with a focus on each client’s individual needs, so we can fully understand the reasons and emotions behind the move, often resulting in a few meetings and phone calls prior to marketing.
We also go a step further by giving detailed advice on how to maximise value to achieve the best price, whether that be presentation or home improvements.
Our meeting is followed up in writing along with detailed information and comparable evidence and we’ll regularly keep in touch on market trends and local property news.
Instruction
At Coast & Country we like to be different, and key to our service is that we do not tie our clients into long term contracts like most other estate agents. We believe in the advice we give and are confident that each client will be extremely satisfied with the results and the way we work.
Our clients have the freedom to walk away at any point during the journey. This means that we are fully accountable from day one and ensures each client always enjoys 100% of our focus and attention.
Once you have instructed us to sell your property, we will immediately start speaking with our prospective buyers to help generate interest from the start. This often takes place prior to the marketing materials being produced helping prompt initial interest while we work behind the scenes ready for launch day.
Marketing
This is one of the most important aspects of selling a home.
In this digital age, where we are where we are constantly bombarded with photos, images and advertisements the term, ‘no property is marketed in isolation’ has never been more applicable!
It is more crucial than ever to ensure that your property stands out. ‘Premium’ is the new standard with Coast & Country, but also specific and tailored marketing materials and campaigns to suit you and the property is something we pride ourselves on. The marketing of our homes offers maximum exposure which attract the largest audience possible, reaching the best buyers and achieving the best price.

Viewings & Feedback
Our viewings are conducted by us. Unlike most estate agents, we do not have home guides, or weekend viewing assistants… we believe that to sell a home, you must know the home.
We know that the difference in achieving the best price for our clients when selling or renting their home can be down to small details and asking the right questions that can not only influence a buyer’s decision but can have an impact on the eventual price achieved.
Let’s put it simply, would you trust someone you didn’t know with handling one of the biggest assets of your life?
After each viewing is conducted, we know how keen our clients are to hear what was said about their home. We offer real-time feedback, often within the first 30 mins of finishing the appointment by phone calls, WhatsApp group chats and text messaging. We then follow up with the prospective buyers later that same day or the day after, making sure we gather as much information as we can so we can communicate this back to you.
Offers/Sold STC
A successful marketing campaign will bring offers.
In the ideal scenario, we like to aim to produce several offers to achieve the best possible sales price with the best buyer!
As expert negotiators with years of experience we have had countless negotiations making us best placed to ensure you are getting the maximum your homes deserves and to also ensure that the sales process runs as smoothly as it can.
Every buyer is financially qualified, and we check each link in any chain to make sure any possible problems or delays are dealt with prior to the legal process starting.
Progressing The Sale
This part of the selling process is notoriously the most stressful!
After you have accepted an offer and in the sale in the hands of the solicitors, it is vital that all parties stay in constant communication.
We will speak with sellers, buyers, solicitors, mortgage advisors, and other estate agents throughout the process to help overcome any potential problems before they happen while doing all we can to reduce the overall sale time. We stay ‘hands on’ throughout this period as we firmly believe we can have a strong influence on a successful outcome, taking any worries and stress away from you.
Exchange & Completion
The most exciting and rewarding part of our job!!!
As soon as the exchange of contracts has happened and the completion day is set, we remain on hand to help deal with any last-minute arrangements and getting prepared for the big day!
We want to be there to help celebrate your new home with you!!
While most estate agents’ jobs ends at completion, ours doesn’t… we often have such a strong relationship with our clients that they end up becoming lifelong friends of Coast & Country Real Estate, attend our company events, pop into the office and keep updated in what the local area and property market it is doing.
“Fantastic company. Trustworthy, knowledgeable and friendly. Attention to detail is brilliant. The whole team are professional, hardworking and experienced. Chris handled both our sales. He is compassionate and we knew potential buyers would feel respected. We were soon under offer and Chris liaised with solicitors and all parties for every inch of the journey. We are extremely happy!”
