Challenges & Goals of Selling the Estate Agency

After many successful years running Jackson & Co., Dean decided to sell the business to relocate to Spain. The challenge was to secure a buyer who could recognise the scale and quality of the business, while ensuring a smooth handover for clients and staff. We found the perfect buyer in Scott Jay from Keystones, who was the ideal match!

Using our network and industry expertise, we introduced a suitable purchaser and worked closely with all parties to guide negotiations, overcome challenges, and see the transaction through to completion.

Feedback

“My experience with Atomic was second to none. Lucy, Sam and Laura were all involved in the process and their attention to detail, understanding of my requirements and finding me a buyer and then nursing it through what was a difficult sale. Very impressed, well done Atomic. Lucy was always on hand even late into the evenings, weekends and even when she was away. I felt supported at all times. I am an old school estate agent and have high expectations.”
