3. Results
Our results speak for themselves. We don't need charts showing what percentage of the market share we have. Or to tell you how many houses we have sold in your postcode over the past year. We will tell you that it takes us an average of 16 days to agree an offer and sell your home (subject to contract). We are currently achieving over 102% of the original asking price on sales. Plus, we have a fall-through rate of just 4% compared to the current national average of 33%.
4. No lengthy contracts
We believe properties can sell within four weeks of coming onto the market. We are so confident, we wont tie you into lengthy contract periods. If we are confident we can do what we say, why would we need to tie anyone into long term contracts.
5. Sales Progression
Once a sale has been agreed, we deal with the progression of your sale in house by a dedicated and experienced Sales Progressor. You wont be palmed off with a progression team based it a remote location. Nor will you be dealing with a third party, who has had your sale outsourced to from your agent. You will have one point of contact, in-house that you can speak to directly if you have and concerns or questions.
6. Security
We recommend reservation agreements on all of our agreed sales, giving both the buyer and the seller peace of mind that their sale is secure.
7. Community
Harrisons are proud to be part of, and support the community in which we live and serve in anyway we can. Whether it being donating laptops to local schools. Fundraising for local charities (£14K raised to date). Donating laptops to schools or sponsoring local events. We try to give back as much as we can, it's an important part of our business.
8. Innovative
Harrisons are constantly looking for ways to improve our service and how we make sales. We do not look to what our competitors are doing, we look at new technology and innovation there is available. By adapting this to fit within our business and come up with innovative marketing techniques. Such as our "Heads Up! Property Alerts" service, which markets and often sells properties before they hit the property portals and the open market.
9. Qualified Professionals
The fact that estate agents are able to set up in business and deal with what is, for most people, their largest financial transaction without regulation or qualification is something we are very much against. All of our staff undergo training, along with continual professional development. Plus, Harrisons staff are required to gain industry qualifications. Harrisons Homes are a member of NAEA Propertymark in the absence of an industry regulator. This is an organisation that agents can join and adhere to their rules of conduct to ensure they meet the desired standards that members would like to see in a property industry professional. In addition we are the only agent in Swale to be members of the Federation of Independent Agents who are committed to raising the standards and reputation of the industry by pulling together a network of the best independent agents in the UK.
