A NEW luxury estate agents celebrated its grand launch at the Bar Lounge in Chester last night (Wednesday, October 19).

The event saw property professionals, service providers and business leaders come together to welcome Distinctive Living. The event also supported the Martin Gallier Project who have recently moved into the city and and were welcomed with support from guests and the team at the event.

Daniel Lee, Founder and Director of Distinctive Living, said: "We are thrilled to introduce Distinctive Living to the Chester and Cheshire property market. Our vision is to redefine the way distinctive properties are marketed, and we aim to provide an unparalleled level of service to our clients."

Daniel’s founding business, Douglas Butler has quickly become a well-known and well-respected estate agent since it was founded in Chester in 2019, and inspired the new sister company, Distinctive Living.

Daniel explained: "Douglas Butler primarily focuses on selling stylish first-time buyer homes, investment properties, fixer-uppers, and family homes. In contrast, Distinctive Living aims to concentrate on selling unique properties and homes of distinction across Chester and Cheshire."

Dan further described the criteria for properties they handle, saying that Distinctive Living focuses on "unique homes" with a minimum property value of £600,000. Their portfolio is also limited to a maximum of 10 properties at any one time.

"Bringing a property to the market is a meticulous process for Distinctive Living. It takes a minimum of 14 days, during which we handle everything from valuation to the final listing. We pride ourselves on our comprehensive approach, which includes professional staging, photography, videography, and even a custom luxury brochure. Think Selling Sunset - but we are Selling Cheshire!"

He continued: "Our unique approach to marketing properties ensures that our clients' homes receive the attention they deserve. We maintain a priority buyer database, inform them of new listings, and strategically advertise across social media platforms and popular property websites like Rightmove. Additionally, all clients are thoroughly vetted to prevent time wasters, and I personally handle viewings, negotiations, and guide the property through to completion."

The founder, who is a Chester resident himself, says that he loves the variety of properties found in Cheshire from "character-filled cottages" to "modern luxury homes." Together with its mix of green spaces, scenic locations and historic villages.

Distinct Living aims to set a "new standard for luxury property sales" in Chester and Cheshire.
