Having spent the last two weeks in congenial conversation with a local copywriter (Robert Garner – follow him on Twitter at @RobtheWriter), we’ve finally managed to encapsulate our services and ethos in a handy two pager! Our eventual aim is for this document to form the heart of a booklet we can give out to clients to give them guidance on how to choose an estate agent (and, more importantly, what to expect from that agent in terms of quality service).
Here’s Rob’s hard work – comments and suggestions welcome as always
A successful agency relies on accurate pricing, beautiful presentation and attention to detail. We have the experience and qualifications to be accurate and we have deliberately designed our marketing to offer far more than any other agent in the city.
We also make sure that we deal with people ‘the right way’.
