With our network of branches across the North East we have more buyers registered with us - literally thousands. We offer all buyers a financial assessment to ensure that they are serious buyers and are not wasting your time, or theirs. We also aim to qualify all offers to ensure that the buyer has the ability to proceed to completion of your sale.
Marketing
Our purpose and aim in Estate Agency is to sell your property at the best price within your required timescale. To achieve this we believe in a pro-active approach to marketing your home. As soon as you instruct us we start moving – in order to get you moving as soon as possible. Our marketing is geared to produce response from buyers with More web visitors and More viewings.
Social Media
We use social media, like facebook, instagram and linkedin, to generate interest in our business and stock of properties. We’re proud to have grown our social media following to thousands of local people. We post some of our collection of properties but also relevant content, which drives traffic to our website, where people can view all of our listed properties.
E-Marketing
Each week we send out thousands of emails to registered people with highly targeted messages such as new listings and auction properties. We achieve excellent response to these as they show properties listed with us direct to buyers’ smart phones, tablets and pc’s. This is much more effective than the old approach, which was just press advertising. Very few estate agents use this effective marketing tool and we are constantly evolving and improving this system.

Internet 24/7
Our acclaimed web site www.andrewcraig.co.uk attracts many thousands of visitors per month and your property will be available 24/7. Our mobile web site is configured to work on smart phones, making property details and photographs easy to view.
We are Online and on the High Street Branches
Although there has been a rise in ‘Online Estate Agents’ in the last decade, we firmly believe that the best place for us to be is on the High Street. We have prominent high street branch locations across the North East, with true local property experts situated in each Branch. On top of this, we are available to take your calls and online queries till 8pm during the week and 4pm latest on weekends.
Technology
Our office systems are cloud based, so that all staff have access to all properties and registered buyers. Applicants do not have to visit every branch for properties in different areas. They can also view all of our properties online where they can also request viewings.
Property Video Tours
We offer all our sellers a Professionally Filmed Video tour of their property from our partner expert Videographer to showcase their home to its full potential to prospective buyers, here is an example of an Andrew Craig Video Tour.
Accompanied Viewings
Our viewers are property professionals trained to show your home in it’s best light giving more chance of an early sale at the best price. Experience shows that buyers are more relaxed when viewing with an agent rather than the property owner, and will be more honest with what they do and don’t like, so let our professionals take care of viewings for you.
Floor Plans
We can prepare a floor plan showing the internal layout of your home and display this on our web site and portals including OnTheMarket.com and Rightmove.
Mortgages
Andrew Craig partners with Mortgages Now to provide you with expert financial advice and secure the most suitable mortgage deal for you, whether you are buying a home or investment. We offer all buyers an initial appointment with a financial adviser, before introducing them to you and your property, to ensure that they are serious buyers and would be able to purchase your property.
Progress
We keep in touch with you so you know what is happening. We will call you after every viewing where possible. We will also keep you informed as to how the marketing of your home is going by sending/emailing a written progress report on a regular basis. Once a sale is agreed, our expert negotiators progress the sale for you all the way through to completion.
Professionalism
We are Regulated by RICS, the leading property organisation in the world. This ensures that our clients receive the highest professional and ethical standard of service possible.
Portals
We upload properties for sale and to let to all major property portals and in particular, to both Rightmove and OnTheMarket.com. Most estate agents upload to one of these two but we send listings to both to maximise our marketing exposure.
We’re Here for your Buyers
We realise that it might be more convenient for people to get in touch with us outside the traditional 9-5 hours, which is why we have a Hub with dedicated Customer Advisors there to help, up to 8pm on Weekdays and up to 4pm on Weekends.
Video Viewings
To get viewings for our sellers fast, and to accommodate schedules, we carry out Live Video Viewings where we take buyers through the property using a Live Stream Video on an app, and they can ask us any questions in real time. All viewers have to be logged in to view the video so we can follow up the viewings after. If they then want to see the property in person then we can arrange a physical viewing.
We’ve had the pleasure of helping lots of people with their property requirements. You don't need to take
our word for it though!

"In what has been an incredibly tough period for the housing market, I switched to Andrew Craig from another local estate agent. From start to finish the team at Andrew Craig were outstanding. I always felt relaxed in knowing that no stone was unturned in their duty of maximising the chance of selling the property. Communication was excellent and customer service, care and satisfaction was of a very high quality. Thank you to the Fulwell team for helping us sell our house and making the stressful process feel seamless and smooth."

"As a first time buyer I was nervous and apprehensive about the entire process of purchasing my first home. However, Andrea Basham my sales agent and Andrew Craig were fantastic in guiding me through the entire process. They were patient, forgiving and consistent in their support and never complained despite the plethora of queries and concerns that were sometimes of daily occurrence during the process of purchase. What I liked most about Andrea and the company was that although they were working on behalf of the seller, they were also working on behalf of myself as the buyer with just as much care and consideration.As a result, looking back on the whole process there was nothing really for me to worry about; I was always in good hands and they were always going to get the best result for myself and the vendor. I am looking forward to working with them again in the future on other purchases and will more than likely allow them to take on the responsibility for letting my home, as I know the high standards they adhere too. Thank you for everything!And if you do get Andrea, trust her completely, she knows what she is doing and has years of experience working with various conveyancers in and around the North East; you have to let her advocate and deal with any concerns in her own way in her time, she will get the job done the right way! A personal thanks to her."

"Our experience of Andrew Craig has been phenomenal from start to finish. Our house was valued for market realistically and in line with what we believed it was worth. We achieved over our asking price and believe that the way in which the property was marketed was paramount to this. Andrew Craig were also superb in dealing with the process of receiving offers and buyers’ queries as the sale progressed. We wouldn’t use any other agent in the local area. Special thanks to Maureen, Linda and the team for making our sale so stress free."

Special thanks to Sarah, Ellie and Alison in keeping us updated throughout the process. There was always a warm welcome when we called into the office for any updates. A job well done."

"Worked with Danielle on letting out a property where she has been very helpful in facilitating repair work to satisfy the tenant. Communications with Danielle have been regular and very concise. No issues whatsoever and would so far recommend."
