Trust Over Volume
Founded by Callum Clarke after 10 years in traditional agency. Built to get you moving.
Why I Started Clarke Residential
Many agents focus on how many boards they have up, accepting that some properties will never actually sell.
It's a model that leaves sellers disappointed, stuck, and it's exactly what gives estate agents a bad name.
That's why, after 10 years in traditional estate agency, I started Clarke Residential. We work on trust, not volume.
We offer honest valuations, not empty promises, and a level of personal service that's built to get you moving.
You get one point of contact throughout. Your agent values your home, runs every viewing, negotiates your offers, and sees you through to completion. Proper, personal service from someone who knows your property inside out.

The Same Person, Start to Finish
of UK homes never sell
Zoopla, 2026 — homes listed for sale in the last three years that failed to find a buyer. Overpricing is the biggest reason.
agreed sales collapse
TwentyEA / Propelr, Q1 2026 — around 24% of agreed UK sales fall through before completion. Poor communication is a leading cause.
Clients who've used other agents tell us the same story again and again.
A senior person comes out to value the property. Then the sale gets passed to someone who has never set foot in the home. Someone else does the viewings. When the offer's in, it gets passed on again to progress the sale.
The result is a disconnect through the whole process — repeating yourself, chasing updates, and sometimes not selling at all.
With us, you get one point of contact throughout — the agent who values your home stays with you through viewings, negotiation, and progression to completion. One relationship, one accountable person, no hand-offs.
Priced on Evidence, Not Ego
We won't inflate a valuation to win your instruction. Every figure we quote is backed by real comparable sales in your street, your postcode, your patch.
Realistic pricing gets homes sold. Inflated pricing sits on the market, drops in stages, and eventually sells for less than an honest number would have achieved on day one.
We're not here to chase market share or win the most listings. We're here for the sale — helping you actually move on, with our full focus.

Honest, Not Just Called Honest
Every agent says they're honest. Here's what that actually means with us — five commitments you can hold us to.
Straight up
If you're looking for a high-volume, market-share-chasing agent, we're not for you. We work differently — fewer clients, more attention, and the honest conversations that actually get homes sold.
1. We won't inflate your valuation to win the instruction
Every figure is backed by comparable sales we'll show you on paper. If we can't defend it with data, we don't quote it.
2. Zero-week tie-in. Two weeks' notice
Most agents lock you in for 8 to 12 weeks. We don't need to. The relationships we build and the results we deliver keep clients with us — not the small print.
3. No sale, no fee
We only get paid when you complete. Our success is tied to yours — the incentive is aligned from day one.
4. Fees agreed in writing before day one
Every cost, upfront, in plain English. No small print, no surprise bills at completion. What we quote is what you pay.
5. We'll tell you what you don't want to hear
If we think your asking price is wrong, we'll say so. If a buyer's chain is weak, we'll flag it. If we're not the right agent for you, we'll say that too.
