What is a property search agency?

So, since we started the Flint Homes journey, our market research has shown there’s a bit of confusion about property search agents.

This is best explained by the sort of questions we get asked, like…

‘What’s a property search agent?’

‘What does a property finder do?’

The clue is in the name, right?

Property. Search. Agent.

Property. Finder.

But what was it the Danish physicist, Niels Bohr, said…? "The obvious is always the hardest to explain…”

And so it is…

So, let me try…

Flint Homes represent buyers.

We are not estate agents.

We do not sell houses.

We do not represent people who are trying to sell their homes. We leave that to the great Norfolk real estate agents.

Our job is to focus solely on our clients on the other side of the deal: Property hunters. Home buyers (& occasionally, renters).

We use our journalistic background to cleverly interview our clients to find out exactly what property they say they want (& what we think they might actually want & end up buying) & we use our excellent local contacts to source that dream home.

This process saves our clients wasting time on dead ends, like the right house in the wrong place.

And we show our clients things they never would have found flying solo, utilising the portals alone.

Off grid, off market, hidden Norfolk gems… keeping our clients ahead of the competition.

We are there for those short on time, who want someone to take the lead.

To sort the wheat from the chaff.

To do the hard yards & leg work.

We are there for those who can’t navigate the modern digital world, or simply don’t want the stress & want to remain clear-headed & focused on viewing just the best options.

And when we have used our skill set to find the perfect property for our clients… the real work starts…

We negotiate you a great deal on a great home.

We are not hampered by protocol or inhibited by process.

We are not representing sellers: we leave that job of getting the best price they can for their sellers to the estate agents, who you would have to deal with if you fly solo...

We are there to get you a great price.

We are there to save you money – often way exceeding the modest fees we charge.

Put simply, we allow you to relax & enjoy the process of buying a new home & look back feeling content you did it all with a smile on your face & money left in the bank to spend on it…

Flint Homes offers a customised 1-2-1 tailored service for each client – a single access point to the whole Norfolk property market.

Our local regional knowledge & understanding of the Norfolk property market, first class contacts in Norfolk’s estate agents, Norfolk property brokers & private sellers allow us to sift through the chaff & serve up only the very best Norfolk wheat.

Our total market exposure & in-depth knowledge of what’s hot & what’s not on the Norfolk market gets you unprecedented, exclusive access to pre-market & off-market invisible gems, from the whole market.

And when you get what you are after with us, with money saved in the bank, we can introduce you to your rich Norfolk lifestyle, helping you find great builders, interior designers, kitchen fitters, bathroom installers, plumbers, electricians, gardeners, pet sitters, pilates teachers, boat dealers… whatever helps you get settled.

We care.

We have trodden your path.

We’re professionals, with international business experience.

We go the extra mile.

In short, you must have seen Location, Location, Location, right?

We are Norfolk’s answer to Kirsty & Phil…
