Our Difference

Fewer homes.
More attention.

In Residence exists for the client who prefers personal representation over volume, a small practice built around fewer instructions, taken more seriously.

The people you meet at the appraisal are the people who host every viewing, negotiate every offer and see the sale through to the day the keys change hands. Nothing is passed on.

How we sell
01

Independent

Every decision made in the room, alongside you.

02

Founder led

The founders run your sale personally, from appraisal through to completion.

03

Bespoke

Marketing built for each home, rather than a template applied to it.

Every home has a story.

Our job is to understand how to tell it.

When selling isn’t going to plan

Every sale brings its own challenges. What matters is understanding what’s getting in the way, and knowing what to change.

  1. 01

    Interest has slowed

    Your home has been on the market for some time and another price reduction is being suggested.

    Our response

    Before changing the price, we look at the whole picture: presentation, positioning, marketing and buyer response. Sometimes price is the issue. Sometimes it isn’t.

  2. 02

    Viewings aren’t becoming offers

    People are coming through the door, but nobody is taking the next step.

    Our response

    We look at who is viewing, what they’re telling us and where the objections are, then use that insight to adjust the strategy.

  3. 03

    You’re considering a change of agent

    But changing agent only makes sense if something else changes too.

    Our response

    We start with what’s happened so far, and what you expected from your previous agent but didn’t receive, before deciding what we would do differently.

A different result starts with understanding what needs to change.

Our Approach

No two homes are the same.
Neither should the way they are sold be.

Selling an exceptional home is not a transaction to be processed. A residence is a place that has been lived in, and it deserves to be represented as one, with the same two people beside you from the first conversation to the last signature.

  1. 01

    Discover · A first visit, in confidence.

    We begin with a conversation, not a valuation. We take the time to understand the house, your timing, and what a good outcome looks like for you before discussing how we would approach the sale.

  2. 02

    Prepare · Presentation, styling, positioning.

    We advise on what to change and what to leave, arrange styling where it earns its place, and settle the position, the price, the story, the moment to launch.

  3. 03

    Present · Photography, film and brochure.

    Every residence is professionally photographed and filmed, with a beautifully produced colour brochure designed to present the home at its very best.

  4. 04

    Launch · Private introductions, then market.

    The right buyer is often already known. We introduce your home first to buyers we are already speaking with, before it appears publicly.

  5. 05

    Represent · Every viewing hosted personally.

    We conduct every viewing ourselves, so the feedback you receive is first hand, honest and useful.

  6. 06

    Complete · Negotiation through to exchange.

    We negotiate on your behalf and stay close through solicitors, surveys and the chain. Our work is done when the exchange is, and not before.

Recent Case Study

Because how a home is represented tells you more than what it sold for.

The Result

A full asking price offer within five weeks.

The Founders

Your property partners.
From beginning to end.

Two founders. Every instruction, personally.

Portrait of Monica King, Founding Partner at In Residence

Founding Partner & Managing Director

Monica King

I've spent twenty five years building client relationships in businesses where trust is everything, and I founded In Residence to bring that standard to how prime homes are sold. A home is never simply bricks and mortar; it is the life lived in it, and the future it represents.

Cornelia Parchment-Horn

Thirty years of building businesses and working with people at every level sit behind everything I do, the last ten of them selling luxury residential property in one of America's most expensive coastal markets. Five years ago I made Weybridge my home, and I now sell in the villages I live in.

What our clients say

“Cornelia gave us a dedicated agent who knew everything about the house and gave buyers every opportunity to see the positive advantages of the property. We did not get this from other agents.”
