Kent Estate Agencies, Whitstable
Meet the Kent Estate Agencies Team
Another bumper year of results in 2012, which confirm that Kent Estate Agencies has increased its completed sales by 17.3% during 2012 notwithstanding the challenging market conditions.
Further evidence that The Kent Estate Agencies approach to residential property sales continues to be producing positive results for their customers.
2012 has been our best year since 2004. The interest levels we have achieved as a result of our unrivalled marketing proposition have meant that we have completed sales on an even higher percentage of properties we have marketed, a result that has surpassed even our own high expectations.
As an independent agent, we will be proud in 2015 to have completed 50 years of serving the people of Kent, but what does that mean to our customers. During that period we have built up a database of people interested in property in our area of Kent that now exceeds 20,000, so not surprisingly when you link this to our name and reputation we provide a marketing proposition that we believe is second to none, we have consistently achieved above average results for our clients.
Since 2009 we have sold more residential property each year in CT5 than any other agent based on a survey of property websites undertaken by Vizzihome, the industry market research provider.
With our network of offices forming part of the Guild Network of over 100 Offices in London and the South East we have access to a large pool of buyers with high spending power who have the perception that house prices in this area offer good value in comparison to the location they are moving from, this linked to our Network Head Office in Park Lane London and you have another contributory factor to the volume of sales and prices we are achieving.
Our sales progress team has been kept very busy in the last year. They are tireless in making sure that timescales are met and that the moving experience is as stress free as possible. Our sales team has an incredibly positive attitude and despite the fact that they tend to work longer hours than most, the results confirm their efforts.
