Peter Illingworth Estate Agents
About us
I keep six honest serving-men
(They taught me all I knew)
Their names are What and Why and When And How and Where and Who.
Rudyard Kipling
Peter Illingworth Estate Agents was established in Kirkbymoorside in May 1990 and has since played an enormous part in changing the face of estate agency in Ryedale. Today a team of experienced property specialists in the two Ryedale offices, and the Mayfair marketing office in London, reassure both vendors and purchasers alike that they will receive an exceptional standard of service. This service means Peter Illingworth can reach deep into the market and access the best buyers and sellers.
Everyone selling their most valuable asset needs the best professional and expert advice. Like many occupations, trades and professions some estate agents are good and some not so good. For over thirty four years the people of Ryedale have been putting their trust in Peter Illingworth to get them the best deal.
As soon as you think you might be on the move just call your local Peter Illingworth branch. If you are buying, the staff will tell you what is on the market. More importantly they will tell you what is coming onto the market. If you are selling then you will want to know what your house is worth and how to help it reach its full price potential.
Full details on who to call and where to call are given on this website. You can contact us over the phone, by email and even through Facebook if you like. But better still why not pop into a local office when you are passing and meet the team? It’s not the internet that sells property it’s people, and it’s good to get to know who will be handling your most prized asset.
There are Peter Illingworth offices in Kirkbymoorside and Pickering. There is also one in the West End of London. London and the southeast is very important to the Ryedale market. Buyers who want to get away from it all, retire, or just weekend in Yorkshire have had a large effect on the local market. The Peter Illingworth team in London has all the right contacts with out-of-area buyers as well as the national press for extra coverage in the media.
Our estate agency provides an efficient service with honest, motivated and diligent staff. Without these ingredients, we would not be successful. We are proud that our clients and customers recognise our high standard of service.
Your property deserves a skilled property professional to attain the best price. That’s why it is best to choose Peter Illingworth. His firm will offer the best local knowledge. They will know who’s buying and who’s selling. Most importantly they will know what the selling prices are, rather than just the asking prices.
Estate agency is a highly competitive business. Some firms will offer low fees to attract custom and some estate agents will overvalue to secure business. Valuable time can be lost if the asking price is incorrect – and it could jeopardise your purchase of another property.
It’s important that your property is on the internet. But today all estate agents offer the internet. The internet does attract buyers but it won’t negotiate in your favour – or handle complicated transactions.
Peter Illingworth has the support and back up of an energetic and pro-active marketing office in London to help extend publicity range and market penetration. Then there are his 350 associated offices around the UK. Plus offices around the world in places like New York, Miami, Paris and Madrid.
So now the decision is yours. There are many estate agents to choose from. There are online agents and cut-price agents to tempt you. But before you make a choice let Peter Illingworth tell you about his firm’s superior service which will serve you well and ensure that you receive the best price within your time frame.
“We have vital experience and an invaluable point of view. We won’t sell anyone short but then we won’t distort expectations either. We deservedly have a good local reputation – in an area where reputation is everything – and we intend to keep it.”
Please contact your local office if you require any further help or advice.
