TAKING the decision to buy or sell a home is often life-changing so when the weeks and months go by and there is still no sign of a sale then stress levels start to rise.
The team at sales and letting agency Oscar James, a new name in Northamptonshire’s property market, are already proving time and time again that their different approach can make a real difference.
Managing director James Potts said: “There have been several occasions when we have been instructed on properties that they have already been on the market with other agents sometimes for several months. It has been shown that these properties are then sold on average in the first week of us taking them on.”
The first office opened on June 1, 2016 in Northampton’s Market Square followed by one in Kettering’s town centre and a third in the nearby thriving town of Burton Latimer.
One of the agency’s first appointments was in-house photographer, Tom Jolley who has the skills and the time to take images of each property.
James said: “It sounds like common sense but there is no room for complacency in the property market so our aim is to present each home at its best and then to get it sold at a realistic price as quickly as possible. We want to be different and to keep the commitment we make to each of our customers.
“If a property has been for sale for a long time then it might be the time to start asking questions. We offer premium online listings, bespoke brochures and feature property advertisements on Rightmove, which pin the house to the top of the page when people are searching.
“The strategy is achieving impressive results including, on average, an offer within seven days of a property going on to the market with sales hitting 99.1 per cent of the property’s asking price.
“Our young, energetic, enthusiastic and hungry team all have good local knowledge and we achieve results and fast. This means we are quickly becoming recognised as one of the area’s fastest growing and well-regarded estate agents.”
Investors in properties-to-let, landlord and tenants can expect the same high standards from the dedicated lettings department. The team, already looking after several large portfolios, can offer a fully managed service.
