Sell your house with Hearnes estate agents

High-quality property marketing

You’ll benefit from first-class property marketing when you sell a property with Hearnes. Our team will use our knowledge and experience of the local housing market to advertise your property effectively. This includes ensuring all listings have detailed descriptions that focus on the property's unique features, any updates you have made, and professional photography to show your home in the right way to generate more attention. Your listing will then be published in multiple locations, including both local and national websites, to increase your listing’s exposure, clicks and shares. With decades of experience and dedicated professionals in property marketing, we know exactly what does and doesn’t work to increase viewing enquiries.

100% transparent estate agent service fees

We understand that you'll want to know exactly what it will cost to use our estate agency services to sell your home. From the outset, our agents will explain the fees clearly and answer any questions you may have about them. You will never be stung by an unexpected invoice or have to pay anything more than what was disclosed to you. Our transparency is part of our client-first approach, which is one reason why we have so many glowing reviews from previous sellers.

Professional viewings and regular communication

We conduct all professional viewings on your behalf and at a convenient time for you and the prospective buyer. This also allows us to present your home in a way that will achieve the best results. Research shows that property viewings are more productive if the homeowner isn’t present, but don’t worry, our estate agents will remain with the potential buyers throughout their viewing to ensure the safety of your home. Our team are professionally trained to provide buyers with a comfortable and informative viewing experience to ensure we give them all the relevant information. We will only conduct viewings or open homes at times that you prefer and are suitable.

Our property sales branches

We operate five established estate agency branches across Dorset and Hampshire, each positioned to serve the needs of its local property market. Every branch is staffed by estate agents with specialist knowledge of the immediate area, allowing us to offer tailored advice, realistic valuations and the right marketing approach for your property.

Bournemouth
Our Bournemouth branch covers the town centre, Westbourne, Southbourne, Boscombe, Charminster and surrounding areas. Bournemouth’s popularity as a coastal hub with strong transport links and a large rental market made it a natural location for a Hearnes office. The branch has been operating since 1996 and has consistently delivered strong results, selling hundreds of homes annually, ranging from modern apartments to family homes near the seafront and local schools.

Ferndown
Our Ferndown branch was opened to meet growing demand in this well-connected town and its surrounding villages, including West Parley, West Moors, Longham, Northbourne/Redhill, and Bearwood. This area appeals to families and retirees looking for space, schools and amenities. Our Ferndown estate agent branch has built a strong reputation for selling detached homes and bungalows. It provides honest local valuations and advice to sellers in this quieter corner of Dorset.

Poole
The Poole branch serves the town centre, Lytchett Matravers & Upton, Canford Heath, Branksome Park, Lilliput, Ashley Cross and Parkstone, and the nearby coastal areas. Poole’s mix of waterside homes, flats, and new builds makes it a dynamic market, and our team of estate agents here has helped property buyers and sellers navigate everything from chain sales to investment properties. The branch continues to see high demand for properties near the harbour, making it an important location for our clients.

Ringwood
Positioned on the edge of the New Forest, our Ringwood branch was opened to support a growing client base seeking space, greenery and a slower pace of life. We cover the town and the surrounding rural villages, offering local knowledge that national estate agents can’t match. The branch regularly handles sales of detached homes, countryside properties and homes with land, helping sellers present their homes effectively to a wide but targeted buyer audience.

Wimborne
Our Wimborne branch supports sellers in historic towns and villages such as Colehill, Merley and Corfe Mullen. We opened this branch to support local sellers who wanted estate agents with specific local market insight. With demand for character homes, period cottages and newer family properties remaining steady, our team has successfully matched sellers with the right buyers year after year.
