Sell with us
We love to listen to people’s stories and help them create new ones. We believe that vendors should receive a very personal service, as moving home is a big deal. They should receive a first-class service, with help and support above and beyond the norm.
Our mission is to help you move into your next chapter in life with an experience that you will never forget – for all the right reasons.
We don’t do our business by email – our business is done face-to-face or by phone.
From the beginning of your property journey to settlement we will be with you every step of the way.
Selling your home can be one of the most stressful things that you can do in your life, with the right people around you, guiding, supporting, and communicating, it doesn’t need to be.
Communication is fundamental to what we do. Unlike other traditional estate agencies, we are available for our clients (sellers and buyers) 7 days a week. We have experienced that call on a Saturday allowing us to sell our property over a competing one, by simply being available during the weekend to discuss it. We always capture our opportunities.
Marketing
Our award-winning marketing allows our properties to stand out.
The first step to selling your property is to get it noticed. It is usually your biggest asset, not a second-hand pair of shoes. That is why we use professional photographers and a top tier production company to showcase your property correctly.
In addition, we offer:
- Property Staging – both virtual and physical.
- Refurbishment before sale services.
We understand how to sell property and what to do to enhance its saleability and ultimately get you the best possible price for your property.
What our clients say.

We have to say a huge thank you to James Milne for his very active involvement in selling our house, and for his good advice and encouragement during the whole process. His wealth of experience and knowledge of the market made itself felt, and it was like having an estate agent friend guiding you and explaining everything you needed to know. Overall, we were very glad to have chosen him as our representative in our interaction with buyers, and we feel that choice was crucial in getting the house sold quickly and for a good price.
Gerry and Joanne White
We have just recently sold our property in Edinburgh and are very pleased that James Milne had been recommended to us. We live in Northern Ireland and having someone you feel you have full confidence in and someone you can trust means a lot and we certainly received both and much more from James. Right from the offset James was fully committed and very proactive in his approach to getting the property ready and on the market. Within a week James was showing potential buyers around and handled all queries at his end and at the same time kept us fully informed as to how everything was going. In a very short space of time James informed us that he had secured a very strong offer and within a few days our property was sold! We couldn’t recommend James highly enough and wish him every success in the future.

I have known Sandrina since 2007. In all that time she has always been helpful, kind and fair in any dealings l have had with her. I have no hesitation in recommending her service.

Sandrina Cecchini was recommended to me when selling my property and I am so glad that she was. Right from my first meeting with Sandrina I knew I was in good hands. I have never known such a stress free process when moving house. From the first day of marketing to sold took only 6 days!! Sandrina kept in touch with me throughout. I loved the fact that I did not have to do the viewings and also that she does not believe in closing dates. Unfortunately I did not meet the lovely Michael but thank you to him for doing viewings. I would always use Cecchini Property if I am ever selling again and would also prefer to be buying through this company. I cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you Sandrina

We were with another estate agent, but we lost both our sale and purchase due to the terrible way the firm handled things. We received a letter from James offering his services and calling him was the best decision we ever made! James doesn’t give 100% he gives 150% He is extremely knowledgeable, tenacious, dedicated and works so hard I doubt he sleeps at night. He knew the problems we had previously with the other firm and was determined to show not all estate agents are the same and he certainly did that. He is very easy to talk to and his previous role as a property developer is also beneficial. James promised us he would sell our flat and find our perfect house. He doggedly perused every potential buyer. By some miracle the house we were hoping to buy before (the one we lost due to the other estate agents) returned to the market after the sale following our also feel through. The person who is our buyer originally only wanted a virtual tour however James persuaded him to come view and despite viewing six flats beforehand he put in an offer. If James had not persuaded him that it was best to view, there is little doubt that the purchaser would have not chosen our flat. We can never thank James enough for all his hard work and for helping us achieve our hope of buying our wee cottage in North Queensferry I would happily recommend James to anyone who is looking for an honest estate agent who will always have his client’s interest at heart. Our only regret is not finding James at the start for if we had we are certain that our sale would not have fallen through, and we be in our new home now.

Sandrina sold a a property for me a few years ago with much success. Very professional service, great communication and always a smile. I would totally recommend Sandrina and her wonderful service.
Sonia Vickers
My flat had been on the market for about 8 months with a well-known Edinburgh Estate agent. Unfortunately, as they hadn’t been very helpful or proactive at chasing leads, I then moved (stupidly) to an auction company. I switched to James after getting a flyer through the door and realising my flat was devalued when the auction company tried to persuade me to accept a ridiculously low offer.
This was one of the best decisions ever made. James is determined, great at communicating and follows up on every single enquiry he gets. To me communication is the most important thing, and he was always reachable whether at the weekend or later in the day (sorry James!) and kept potential buyers interested.
I wish I had engaged with him from the start of the process as I have no doubt my flat would not have stayed on the market so long. Thanks for all your hard work and I highly recommend you to anyone else looking to sell their house or flat.

I would agree with many who say that selling your house is one of the most stressful thing you will ever do.However after meeting Sandrina who was recommended to me I knew I was in very good hands.She put me at ease from the very beginning of the marketing process with her helpful and professional approach to answering all my questions relieving me of a lot of stress.Also not having to do the viewings and no closing dates took a lot of the pressure away.Sandrina’s approach led to my house selling in just a few days which was amazing.
Also her helpful advice with a property which I have now bought and perfect for me.
So delighted with her calm and friendly approach and definitely felt she had my best interest at heart I would have no hesitation in recommending Sandrina Michael and Cheryl.

Most reviews will be about Sandrina selling properties so I thought I would leave one in relation to buying one of Sandrina’s properties.
The service from start to finish was first class. From showing my partner and I around the house we were made to feel comfortable and welcome (even given COVID restrictions), to regular phone calls or texts to update us and to making sure we settled in once we made the move. Sandrina brings professionalism and a personal touch to making a very stressful time a lot easier.
I won’t go on about the issues I had with the sales agent I used to sell my property, however from the day we accepted an offer on our house until now I have had zero contact! The service I received from Sandrina compared to the service I received from my sales agent was night and day!
There was a few nervy times given lack of contact with solicitors however Sandrina kept on top of this and made me aware when I needed to chase it up my end.
Also a very personal touch when Sandrina had flowers delivered to us after making the move which definitely went above and beyond.
I can’t recommend Sandrina highly enough and thank you again for everything you done for us in making our move to our new family home.

Talk about saluting somebody’s indefatigability. My partner and I had spent months with a large firm of estate agents, pulling our hair out over what exactly they were doing to earn our fee. If we wanted to know what was going on we had to call them. They never, ever, called us. Moreover, when we did call, we were shunted from one person’s desk to another with no one individual ever responsible (or even on top of) our brief. When they finally allowed our sale to collapse at twenty minutes notice we simply gave up. After, that is, paying a hefty bill which they made clear in no uncertain terms we still owed them. Money literally for nothing. Enter James and our world changed. We did not find him, he found us. He wrote to us outlining the things he could do and asking if we wanted to chat. We had nothing to lose. We agreed. So along comes this punctual, charming, articulate and incredibly knowledgeable individual. We took to him immediately and from that day forth he was a dog with a bone on our behalf. Tireless, relentless and always keeping us in the loop. The happiest of endings – James got our sale and our purchase at the same prices we were happy with earlier. Could have saved a lot of time, heartache and money if we had gone with James to begin with. Moral of the story? Go with James to begin with. Thanks so much, James. You made a real difference to our lives. God speed, Sir.
