Estate agents in Porters Town

Letting or renting a property? 6 good reasons why to use Bear:

1. Bears that care

We are the Bears that Care. We keep our fees low and fair, not only for the Landlord, but for the Tenant too.

2. Your Property is Important to Us!

Your property is important to us as we know it is a valuable asset. In order to safeguard your interests, we combine tried and tested methods with innovative practise to not only find the right tenant for your property, but to also keep a good tenant in situ.

3. Our Most Experienced Managers!

Properties are valued by the most experienced managers who keep abreast of, not only local property market trends, but national ones, too.

4. Your Money is Protected!

We protect our clients' money with our Deposit Protection Service and Money Protection Insurance and we are members of the Property Ombudsman.

5. Transparency!

We believe in transparency. A Landlord and a Tenant need to know what their fees will be. Ours, like our property sales fees, are fixed and without hidden extras. Often, offering 'tailored services' or 'options', means it is difficult to ascertain competitive costs. Our fixed fees also mean we do not charge ludicrous 'administration fees' that seem to only benefit the letting agent.

6. Bear Share Scheme!

We reward excellent tenants. These are the people we want to keep in your property. We do this by including our tenants in the innovative 'Bear Share Scheme'.

We believe it is possible to give a great service to our customers WITHOUT OVER INFLATING THE 

PRICE...We have a proven record. Look at our testimonials, every one of them is genuine.

Every town has a variety of styles of estate agent, from the soulless "corporate" agency driven by figures, to the one-man band; from arty-contemporary to pushy-salesy. Each type tends to appeal to a specific sector of the property-owning community, and rightly so - buyers and sellers alike need to be comfortable working with an agent that reflects their own values.

So perhaps it's time we actually spelt out exactly the type of approach we strive to adopt. Certainly many have commented that our offices and website has a pleasant contemporary feel, but what does this actually say about the people behind the business, and how would this impact on you as a buyer or seller... tenant or landlord?

As an independent agency, we have the flexibility to adopt whatever approach we feel is the greatest benefit to our clients. Without the constraints of corporate standardisation, our values are more likely to be a reflection of our own aspirations.

If you were to analyse the approach we take to estate agency and business generally, you'd find us to be highly personable and empathetic to the needs of our clients, that we have time to listen with interest, and that we believe passionately in providing straight-talking, good advice that is responsibly realistic rather than insincerely flattering.

Ultimately, it comes down to transparency and integrity, which are the cornerstones of our business. When combined with the passion we also have for results, the balance is a unique and enjoyable service of which we are extremely proud.

It follows that when we employ new staff, they also mirror our values and quickly share the same sense of pride. Indeed, our very low staff turnover rate is a reflection of a happy ship - something on which many of our clients have commented!

Sometimes, when you feel the formula is right, it does no harm to shout about it a bit!

We attract high quality tenants because we offer one of the widest selections of well-presented properties and tenants know that we will treat them professionally.

This approach results in longer tenancies, fewer voids and tenants who pay their rent on time and who don't cause damage.

As we are all aware, the coronavirus continues to spread around the globe impacting the health and wellbeing of entire communities. Many businesses are being affected and there is an obvious disruption to daily life. 

We want to assure you that Pace will remain operational and strive to provide the best service we can, whilst protecting our staff and customers. Therefore, we will be making the following changes, with immediate effect:

• Viewings for sales and lettings properties to continue as normal except the negotiator will wait outside the property if it's empty
• Viewings for occupied properties will need to continue. Whilst we do not want to be unnecessarily intrusive, we may ask tenants whether they have travelled to high risk areas, are self-isolating or are showing symptoms of coronavirus before scheduling a viewing. We may also ask tenants to confirm in writing the date of any self-isolation and/or confirmation of diagnosis
• Tenants are legally obliged to allow access to properties, however, we shall look at each situation on an individual basis and keep all parties informed of our suggested approach
• Non urgent property visits delayed
• Opening hours restricted from 9am to 6pm to allow for a reduction in office-based staff
• Some staff will be working from home. You will still be able to contact them on their landline as we have good remote working systems in place. Our staff may also call you from a mobile number
• Please do not come to the office without an appointment. If you need to see us, please speak with your property manager who will arrange a safe way to communicate with you
• Our plumbers, electricians and other maintenance personnel are still working and are attending to urgent maintenance matters. Various non-urgent maintenance may be delayed and we are looking at each item on an individual basis.

Should we need to make further changes in the future, we shall obviously communicate these to you as soon as possible.
