ABOUT US – Our Ethos

Welcome to Livingroom Estate Agents Guernsey , a place where over 30 cumulative years experience and boundless enthusiasm blend effortlessly with local knowledge and creative excellence to produce an unparalleled level of service in property sales and rentals, international homes and property search services. Livingroom are not traditional estate agents – they feel that is a term best left to those who are unwilling to embrace change. Instead, Livingroom founders Simon Torode and Elke Schimek's forward-thinking philosophy and understanding of global trends has led them to create an exciting and original concept in the property market. Your home is more than a place to lay your head; it is an expression of who you are, a reflection of your lifestyle, of where you’ve been and where you’re going. The pride that you show in the design of your home should also be reflected in the way in which it is sold or let. Livingroom is the embodiment of that idea and here they demonstrate sensitivity towards the discerning consumer that allows them to lead the way in the contemporary property market.

Valuations

Our extensive experience of working in changing markets means we can provide you with precise yet balanced valuations. The correct asking price for your property is vital in such a condensed and knowledgeable community. It is often the case that an agent will give you a ‘commercial’ valuation based upon securing your instruction. Our professional promise to you is to get the best possible price for your property and not just tell you what you want to hear.

Advertising

Every property is treated as an individual. Different forms of presentation are carefully selected to suit both the nature of the home and its target audience. After experimenting with every form of advertising locally we have extensive knowledge of what medium is the most effective for you and will discuss all possibilities with you in detail. It is also as important to consider how often your Open Market property is marketed, on a small island this should be moderated to ensure that a property is not over exposed. By history, Livingroom offer a considerable amount of open market property discreetly through its Private Collection. We carefully chose advertising mediums off island to draw people to Guernsey. These include Country Life, Country & Townhouse, Sunday Times, Square Mile Media, Hedge and other selective high net worth publications mainly in the UK but now also overseas. It is our forward thinking philosophy which has ensured such rapid growth with our Open Market and International departments.

By constantly evolving and growing, our client database sends our HTML Newsletter, ‘The Monthly’ to over 2,000 people per month who are actively seeking or selling property locally. As a vendor, this direct form of selling could really benefit you. As a potential purchaser, you are kept up to date with newly available properties and a listing of all publicly available homes within the easy to use table.

Livingroom is the only agency locally with a dedicated in-house design team as a complimentary service together with professional standard photographs which have become one of our unique and unrivalled trademarks.

All Open Market properties are offered with floorplans to ensure off island purchasers have the greatest amount of detail whilst searching.

We also advertise our brand on a unique generic level to draw clientele to our comprehensive website where the information is not only up to date but offers the viewer multiple images and extensive detail.

Viewings

Our flexible approach extends to the hours in which we operate. Even though our office will be open from Monday to Friday, 9am till 5:30pm we will endeavour to undertake all viewings at a time suited to all parties. Where other agents feel the need to address times in which they operate, we are extremely approachable and hope you feel that you can contact us at any time.
