How to get more new instructions from your Estate Agency website (3min video)

October 12, 2017

A video on Estate Agents websites and why most do not do the job they were intended to do .. i.e. get more new instructions and property on your books

One afternoon in North London in September 2017, Chris Kyriacou from EAanalytics and Christopher Watkin chatted about a number of topics about getting more people to use your estate and letting agency.. from that chat …nearly ten videos were produced and these will released throughout the Autumn of 2017 ..

This 3 min 4o sec video talks about how your Estate Agency can be designed to bring you more stock to sell (and let)

I teach, guide, support, mentor, consult, counsel, partner many hundreds of UK Estate and Letting Agents in their quest to grow their estate and lettings agencies business. Old school techniques of touting, landlords wanted leaflets, ring us for a free valuation, we have sold this in your street leaflets don't work anymore. There are too many competitor agents .. meaning cheap fees are epidemic, overvaluing is almost a norm to get the stock and don’t even mention about the online/hybrid threat. So a few years ago, I set about looking around the UK and spotted that certain agents (not many mind you) in certain towns were still seen as the ‘go to person on property’, the person the newspaper editor rang up every week for a comment and I looked at what they did and they were doing some thing quite remarkable…. Only one thing but they were doing it so well .. and reaping the reward in terms of decent listings and decent fees, happy staff, decent sales pipeline and exchange income, managed lettings portfolios in the many hundreds .. but more importantly, they really enjoyed the job… they enjoyed getting up in the morning and people looked up to them Over 400 agents around the UK are on a mission to change the way our Estate and Lettings agency profession is perceived and looked upon, doing it town by town, city by city. I guide these 400 agents, teach them, mentor them and support them to be seen in a different light, to be seen as the ‘go to person for property’, actually be the ‘local property expert’ and prove it.
