At Paton & Co, we’re always looking for new and effective ways to help our clients achieve the best possible results — even in a challenging property market. One of the latest initiatives we’ve introduced is our Open House events, designed to give properties maximum exposure and allow potential buyers to experience a home in a relaxed, welcoming setting.

Recently, this approach proved invaluable for the sale of Keepers Cottage, Tillmouth Park, Cornhill-on-Tweed — a beautiful home that captured the heart a successful buyer through one of our August Open House events.

A Seller’s Story: From Uncertainty to Success

When Kym and David first discussed the idea of joining the Open House with us, they weren’t sure it was the right move.

“Do we or don’t we go to Open House? Well, it was the best decision ever and paid dividends for us.” — Kym & David

On the day of the event, a potential buyer who had previously seen the property but hadn’t been certain decided to “pop along” to the Open House. That spontaneous visit made all the difference — it led to a genuine connection with the home, an offer soon after, and a fantastic result for both buyer and seller.

Guidance Through a Stressful Time

Selling a property can be one of life’s most stressful experiences, and Kym and David were open about how challenging the process felt at times. But with steady communication, clear strategy, and a proactive approach, the Paton & Co team guided them through every step.

“The stress and strain of constant negotiation and disappointment have been difficult, but you and your team kept us calm and helped us through it… Once again, Paddy, thank you for your kindness, patience and professionalism on top of that of your staff.” — Kym & David

Innovation in a Changing Market

The success of Keepers Cottage highlights why we’ve invested in Open House events. They bring energy, transparency, and opportunity to the sales process — helping buyers engage with properties in person and giving sellers broader exposure in a competitive marketplace.

“Perspective sellers really need to take this on board and jump on it.” — Kym & David

At Paton & Co, we’re proud to think differently, and even prouder when that approach delivers outstanding outcomes for our clients.
