Why use an independent Estate Agent? #TopTips
Independent estate agency Vs Corporate high street estate agency Vs Online…the debate goes on…
The truth is that everyone has their own individual requirements when making the big decision to sell/buy/rent a property, a service provided by one agent may not suit all. So we believe that generally it usually boils down to a mixture of factors, where a ‘good agent’ would take type matching these requirements to the best service for their client.
This subject is always being talked about…but we want to keep it as brief as possible to help you decide on the right estate agency service for you.
So let’s cut out all the jargon and long winded discussion and get down to the benefits!
Extensive local knowledge
In order to market your property effectively, it’s really important to know the types buyers/tenants who generally purchase in the area and what attracts them to certain postcodes. This is where you would find yourself researching for hours online to find that expert advice to guide you.
Leonard Leese have been located in the heart of Borough High Street for over 14 years now and we have a dedicated team who are passionate about their local area. Just look on our twitter page @leonardleese for evidence. 🙂 Unlike corporate agencies, we are concentrated to particular postcodes throughout South East and South West London therefore you can call on our established knowledge of the area to guide landlords/tenants and buyers alike to their perfect property in little time.
A more personalised approach
‘Does one size fit all’? Of course it doesn’t and we don’t expect it to either.
Being an independent means that we do not take on the major corporate clients.
Therefore, our time is not dominated according to client share value.
We take the time to understand your requirements and tailor a service to suit your needs irrespective of the value so each client can be assured that they are receiving the best service from us and getting the best deal for your investment.
Our reputation matters
We do not spend thousands on brand image and tactical marketing campaigns in order to gain clients and look city slick. At Leonard Leese, we rely mainly on the real reviews submitted on independent industry review sites such as allAgents.co.uk
This makes us a ‘transparent agency’ as we have nothing to hide behind and are open to all the elements of feedback. As a result, we engage clients and retain loyalty through trust and recommendations which can give you assurance that you are picking the right ‘expert’ in the high street. For us, one negative review is really ‘a thorn in our side’ and we’ll go the extra mile or 10 to rectify the matter offering you a higher standard of customer service.
