Strategy

• Quality-oriented: They wish to offer the best possible product and services to their clients
• Mainly focused on property sales: They have invested more resources on staying high in the competition ladder of sales rather renting.
• Investment in New Technology to differentiate from the competition: They offer personal accounts to the clients so they can track their properties progress
• Investment in Housing Market Research: They provide 5-year house price predictions, current market summary, local region’s housing map so they enhance the customers trust through their projected expertise.

Ambitions

• Establish further their position of top UK Estate Agency label
• Acquisition of larger Real Estate market share through organic growth (there are no indications of Merger and Acquisition tendency)

• Property Sellers, nationally
• Property Buyers, nationally
• Landlords (letting), nationally
• Prospective tenants, nationally

Nick Chapman-November 2020 (5/5)
“These guys can sell property when high…
These guys can sell property when high street agents can’t. 24/7 support from start to finish, nothing is to much trouble for them Rob our sales negotiator was fantastic and on the ball making the process of selling very smooth.”

Claire Johnson-Novermver 2020 (1/5)
“I decided not to use express agents
I decided not to use express agents, and I told them this when they called me to see if I would use them. The very next day, they called me. I reminded them they had agreed not to bother me again, and ended the call. I then wrote them an email to confirm what I had said to them.. Now I will see if they contact me again. If so I will report them.”

They aim on attracting and retaining a high-quality clientele
They are focused on keeping high levels of customer satisfaction both in sellers’ and buyers’ perspective.
