At Atomic Consultancy, we pride ourselves on being more than just a broker—we’re here to build lasting relationships with our clients, offering personalised support through every step of their business journey.
The recent sale of The Property Outlet, a well-established sales and lettings agency based in Bristol, is a perfect example of how we work closely with our clients to achieve the best possible outcome.
The Property Outlet: A Trusted Name in Bristol
The Property Outlet has long been a renowned name in Bristol’s property market, managing over 220 properties and providing outstanding service to its clients.
When owner Joanna Swain decided to sell the business, she had one clear priority: ensuring her team would be looked after and that the business would go to a buyer who shared her values.
That’s where Atomic Consultancy stepped in.
Multiple Offers, One Perfect Match
Joanna’s decision to sell as a share sale presented unique challenges, but with our extensive buyer network and proactive approach, we generated multiple offers.
Our priority was finding not just any buyer but the right buyer — one who understood the importance of The Property Outlet’s strong team and ethical approach.
In the end, the business was sold to Jeffrey Ross Estate Agents, a highly respected and growing company with a reputation for professionalism and care.
Their alignment with Joanna’s morals and commitment to the team made them the ideal match.
Navigating Challenges and Closing the Deal
Every sale has its moments of pressure, and this one was no exception.
With the financial year-end fast approaching on 30th October, the timeline added an extra layer of intensity.
However, through careful planning and dedication, we successfully completed the sale before the deadline, ensuring Joanna could move forward with confidence and peace of mind.
A Personal Touch
Reflecting on the experience, Laura Cooper, Acquisition Director at Atomic, shared:
“Working with Joanna was an absolute pleasure. At Atomic, we truly believe in building relationships, not just transactions. Joanna’s commitment to her team and her vision for the future of The Property Outlet made this a particularly rewarding journey. And of course, the chocolate brownies she sent as a thank you were a lovely touch—always appreciated in the office!”
Joanna herself shared her gratitude for the support she received throughout the process:
“Nothing was too much trouble for Atomic Consultancy. From my first meeting with Lucy, and then Laura and the rest of the team, I felt like I was in safe hands. Their expertise, professionalism, and enthusiasm from the day of listing my business with them to the day it was completed never wavered. Their support was never-ending. I have no hesitation in recommending Atomic.
Laura and Lucy are so friendly and knowledgeable, you almost forget the seriousness of selling your business. Always willing to answer my questions swiftly and in detail. Nothing was too much trouble. Thanks for a great job, ladies.”
Looking Ahead
We were delighted to support Joanna through the sale of The Property Outlet and to help her achieve her goals for the business and its team.
It’s always an honour to work with such passionate and dedicated business owners, and we wish Joanna every success in her future endeavours.
We understand that selling a business is more than just a financial transaction—it’s a personal journey. That’s why we go the extra mile to build genuine relationships with our clients, ensuring their values, teams, and legacies are respected.
