A thriving North-East estate agency, Igomove, has officially launched in Darlington, marking a significant step in its regional expansion. 

After a period of research and testing the waters since May, Igomove Darlington believes there is a local appetite for its approach.

After the successful trial period there is a confidence that there is a place for its customer-focused approach in the County Durham town.

Spearheading this venture are directors Claire Mullan and Jonathan Yardley, seasoned property professionals with extensive local market knowledge, who are offering a transparent, fixed fee for home sales, regardless of property value.

“With over 25 years of combined industry experience, we were drawn to Igomove’s forward-thinking approach and commitment to client feedback,” said Claire.

“Our goal is to deliver exceptional customer satisfaction, driven by a motivated team and our collective expertise.”

Igomove prioritises a personalised service and that is something Claire and Jonathan want to deliver in a new area.

Claire said: “We tailor our approach to each client, understanding their unique needs and guiding them through every step, from valuation to key handover, with seamless partner support for conveyancing and other services.”

Claire, who has more than a decade of local experience of the property market in Darlington, is eager to spread the Igomove word and help more people sell or buy their home.

“We’re offering more than just a typical estate agency experience,” she said. “We’re committed to community engagement through sponsorships, partnerships and active participation in local business forums.”

Igomove’s commitment to transparency is reflected in its fixed-fee model, eliminating percentage-based commissions or upfront payments.

Claire added: “We believe in treating every client equally, regardless of property value.  Whether it’s a multi-million-pound home or a £30,000 investment, our service remains consistent.”

Building on its reputation for customer satisfaction and referrals, Igomove will introduce loyalty rewards and referral incentives in Darlington.

The Igomove brand was first launched in February 2019 by managing director Mark Flint. Michael Naylor introduced Igomove County Durham a few months later before Danny Naylor started to lead Igomove Teesside in early 2020.

Igomove Durham North started in 2022 and the firm’s latest expansion has targeted Darlington believing its modern approach to selling homes provides the perfect balance between online and traditional service seven days a week.

Mark, Igomove’s managing director, highlights the company’s rapid growth.

He said: “Founded in Hartlepool in 2019, we quickly expanded to County Durham, Teesside and Durham.  Our success stems from recruiting experienced, driven professionals who understand what clients really want.

“We hope to keep growing and we are proud of what has been achieved so far. Through recommendations from previous clients, and our excellent Trustpilot reviews and other positive feedback, we believe we are having a big impact on the industry in the region.

“Transparency is at the heart of our brand.  We’re proud of our achievements and are committed to continued growth across the North-East and we are hugely excited now to be in Darlington with Claire and Jonathan.”
