A The starting point
Each property auction viewings inquiry triggered a hand-written preparation email from the mixed residential and commercial auctioneer. The wording depended on whoever happened to send it.

B The problem
When it comes to property auction viewings, the briefing's content depended on its author and their afternoon. Consistency, not quality, was what was missing.
What we built
The new guide walks through property reference, viewing preference and buyer question in everyday language and sets out viewing instructions and published auction terms. The website asks only for first-contact information; anything sensitive moves through the business's own approved channel later.

What changed
The result, in the firm's terms
With property auction viewings, everyone reads the same briefing before the first conversation. Staff stopped re-writing instructions, and attendees stop arriving with the wrong ones.
The guide for property auction viewings means I explain the process once, properly, instead of rushing a rewrite every afternoon.
