In 2010 Nigel opened an office in his home county of Hertfordshire where he now lives. The business has gone from strength to strength and was awarded "Business of the Year - runner up" in the FSB Herts Business Awards in 2016. The black hen Sold boards have become a familiar site all over Hertfordshire and North London.
I use my 16 years' advertising and marketing experience, working with some of the world's biggest brands, to make sure that your home stands out from the crowd and get's maximum exposure to potential buyers. So that means carefully written descriptions of the property and location with the buyer in mind, beautiful professional photography taken on a sunny day, and exposure via all the places buyers are looking whether social media, our distinctive boards or the big portals like Rightmove.That's why we are such fans of Home Staging, prior to marketing our client's homes.
One of the hardest things as we grow older is losing a loved one and sadly it isn't something that we can avoid, much as we would like to. Apart from the emotional turmoil, family members named as executors often also have to deal with the stress of managing and selling a family home that may be many miles away from where they live.

We purchased a property for which Big Black Hen were the agents. Both Nigel and Bobbie have been really attentive and the process of buying our first home - despite what everyone told us - has been really low stress. Emails and calls all replied to promptly, they helped get measurements for appliances etc. Small things but all add up by the end of the purchase.

After struggling to sell my house I stumbled upon Big Black Hen. I decided to call them for an initial chat. I found them to be very professional, knowledge and they have me some great tips in order to finally sell my home. We went ahead with Big Black Hen and there suggestions and hey presto, our house sold. Ive since recommend Big Black Hen to my friends and family. Great service

The flat in Hertford that I wanted to sell had been let out, and was in a shabby state. To begin with, I put it with the local Estate Agents, who over valued it, and advised me not to spend a penny on it, as any new purchaser would only redo it to his taste, and I would be wasting my money. Six months later, despite two price reductions, I had not received a single offer.
So I searched around for a new Estate Agent, and the local letting agents, who we knew well, strongly recommended you. I followed your advise to give the flat a make over, and the offers then came in, and it has now been sold. Thank you for your excellent and helpful advise, and I would have no hesitation in strongly recommending your company.

Nigel and Bobbie were both very professional and helpful in selling my mother's house. We were impressed with Nigel from the first meeting - he arranged an open day and found a buyer very quickly. The photos of the property were very professionally taken. We were kept informed all the way through and impressed by their efforts up to completion.

A huge thank you to Nigel for selling our house in Hertford. His expert advice was absolutely right on target and allowed us to move forward in a very timely manner. Bobbie did an incredible job all the way along and made sure that nothing fell through the cracks. Nigel definitely knows his stuff and makes you feel like you are his only customer. We would recommend Big Black Hen without hesitation.

Nigel was very honest with us regarding pricing of our property. He arranged for someone to visit our house to make it as appealing as possible. We were kept up to date with offers. Following our sale agreement, one of his colleagues, Bobbie, was extremely friendly and helpful. I'm very happy to recommend them.

I cannot recommend Big Black Hen highly enough. As a first time seller Nigel and Bobbie were very patient with all of my questions and guided me through the whole process with care and great diligence. They were always there when I needed them and made the experience as painless as it can be. Thank you!

We just wanted to thank you so much for all the support in the purchase of our new home. You both went to incredible lengths to help us move the purchase along and have been instrumental in helping us meet our end of October deadline. All while dealing with a very pregnant and hormonal woman. Best wishes, Joe and Leila Dewhurst.

A big thank you to Nigel and Bobbie for all your hard work in selling our home. What a refreshing change. You provided a professional and trustworthy approach. You gave us great advice, updated us consistently throughout the sale. You both went above and beyond in getting us across the line. We have no reservations at all in recommending you and will continue to do so. We were both very impressed and will definitely use Big Black Hen again if we move! Thanks again to you both and the entire team, well done.

The Estate Agent Nigel from Big Black Hen arrived on time, which was impressive considering I'd only made the appointment the same morning, he took a look round, and presented an estimate that was a bit higher than I was expecting, and his fees seemed much more reasonable than other Agents I had spoken to. I let them offer the house for sale, they sold it within 3 weeks, and kept us informed on the progress throughout the process up to completion. Excellent Service.
