Spalding area property expert launches new estate agents in South Holland
A new estate agents with a different approach to business has begun to help South Holland property owners to sell up.
The Agent, which is a not-on-the-high-street agency, has brought Spalding based property expert Bernard Snowden on board with a view to listing properties in the area.
Bernard, who has been working within the profession for more than 25 years, brings a wealth of experience and knowledge with him to the role.
He said: “The big difference for us is that we will be honest and we will back up that honesty with great service.
“The way I look at it is that if you’ve not sold your property within the first six to eight weeks of marketing, you’re not going to sell it unless you look at a decent price reduction.
“A lot of people say that they don’t like hearing the truth, but if it is constructive feedback then people will listen to it because, truthfully, everyone wants to know the truth really.
“When it comes to viewing feedback, many people will give a reason for disliking a property and that will be it.
“However, it’s important to ask questions.
“We ask the question and try to work out a resolution. Say someone didn’t like a house because of the decoration
but they felt they wouldn’t have the time to redecorate, let’s speak to the vendor and see if they’d give the rooms a lick of paint and work on an offer.
“It’s all about honesty and our target is to list and sell properties at the right price.”
The Agent was established to help those selling their homes to achieve the best possible sale price for their property through a dedicated, experienced, one-to-one sales partner while offering no-obligation valuations and a
no sale, no fee pricing structure.
Vendor contact is also of paramount importance for Bernard, who has previously worked within both independent and corporate estate agents within the area.
He said: ”The idea of having your own partner to manage your sale completely, is a real positive in home buying and selling.
“One of the biggest criticisms from clients over the 25 years I have spent in the industry has been contact and communication, mainly the lack of it.
“Vendor contact is so important and at the very minimum agents should be contacted their vendors once a month.
“With many agents, as there isn’t a fixed person dealing with your sale, each time you ring, as they haven’t called you, they don’t know about your property.
“With The Agent, we deal with a limited amount of properties and give our complete attention and a direct contact with the vendor - we hand select our vendors and offer a great service to all.
“Those behind The Agent have put in place a team of people so that vendors can feel confident that their home sale is being looked after and the best possible customer service is being given to them.
“We work as part of a close knit team of seven to sell at the right price in the expected and realistic time period for vendors.”
