I am proud to be a Keller Williams agent!
We think differently and are 100% customer focused.

I limit my numbers of properties that I have on my books at any one time, so that I can give each client my full attention and work with them through the whole process of buying, selling or managing their lettings.

I keep my clients updated regularly, will chase solicitors on their behalf and provide a fully personalised service so that my clients never feel as though they're in the dark.

I will take care of as much or as little of the process as my clients want. I'll do open houses to create buyer competition, use my UK-Wide network of agents to market far and wide and change strategy if my client wants to try something a little different.

I am available at any time to answer calls, chat about ideas or even just to vent to, and my customers know that it will always be me on the other end of the phone, not a secretary who promises the agent will call back then they never do.

As I am the business owner, I don't earn a commission, so I provide a much higher level of service than many highstreet agents - it's my own reputation at stake, so it's in my interest to be the best I can be and become everyone's go-to agent for anything property related. 😃❤️

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them

Not just a Property Agent!!

I've rounded up the troops and now begins the organising, sorting, box filling, label writing, list producing, calling and delivering that happens behind the scenes in the run up to the launch of the Poppy Appeal.
Without my team of willing volunteers, we couldn't achieve half of what we do, so I am grateful to every one of them.
Especially this little one, who has spent half of her pyjama day helping me! ❤️

What a fantastic community we live in 🥰

🤔CHANGING THE PERCEPTION OF ESTATE AGENTS.🤔

❓Ever heard of the MORI IPSOS Veracity Index?❓

It is an annual poll carried out by the organisation Market and Opinion Research International, which surveys the nation's trust in professions.

Sadly it paints a picture of an all too negative perception for the average estate agent.

Just 30% of British adults (aged 15+ interviewed face to face during 18-27th Oct 2019) "trust estate agents to tell the truth".
Estate agents feature in the 5 least trusted professions, along with journalists, advertising execs, government ministers and politicians generally.

🧐 Here is why I think this is the case:

If we believe that financial remuneration drives a certain behaviour in business, then it is no wonder that estate agency in some quarters has a questionable reputation. Estate agents are not bad people. The vast majority of property industry employees want to do a good job, to help people to move home successfully and with the least fuss – and to earn a reasonable living for themselves. However, the problem with the traditional estate agency model is that the way its people are paid is not necessarily conducive with a great experience. 🫤

What exactly do we mean by that?

Believe it or not, where a fee of say 1.5% of the property sale price is earned, an individual agent can sometimes earn just 5% of that (plus their basic salary). For example, if we take a £300,000 property where the seller pays a fee of £4,500, the agent earns £225. In addition, each transaction might take six months to complete. Motivating? 🥴

A remuneration approach such as this can potentially encourage apathy towards customers. It can also force agents to run from one transaction to another trying to spin many plates in order to try to earn a decent income. Inevitably, those plates can drop when there are too many to keep spinning at once. It is incompatible with a positive outcome for the customer and can only serve to make an already stressful process worse. 😫

But what if - as with the Keller Williams model - the agent that does the work and faithfully attends to the customer 24/7, were to be paid a larger proportion of the commission, instead of that money being channelled toward multiple branch office rents, rates, staff, car leases and so on? Well, that’s the way that the Americans have been selling real estate for decades and is the reason why, unsurprisingly, the USA has a much better reputation for real estate service and efficiency.

Keller Williams isn’t just an American business operating in the UK. It is a global company, the largest estate agency in the world, with 192,000+ agents operating in 44 countries. And whilst cultures and legal systems are of course different from market to market, one thing for sure is that, no matter which continent you live on, if you pay people properly so that they enjoy their work, covet success and deliver exceptional customer service, it is a win-win for all parties concerned. That certainly drives good behaviour in any language.
