Jonathan Waters Estate Agents is celebrating its 21st anniversary this year in some style. Starting in Essex in 1992 the company expanded and opened the first of its Ipswich offices in 1999 in Foxhall Road, Ipswich. Adding a town centre office in 2003, which is celebrating 10 years of success this year also, the estate agents added a third branch at Martlesham Heath covering the IP5/IP12 postcode in 2011.
An excited Jonathan Waters, Managing Director and owner of the company said “The market has really picked up for us this year and we are 20% up on sales for the first eight months of 2013 over the same period last year and over 33% up like for like over 2011. It’s the perfect time for us to expand further.”
The company has continually proved successful and data from companies such as Rightmove, Vizzihome and the independent For Sale Sign Analysis shows Jonathan Waters as market leaders by some distance.
“We offer a very high quality of service from vastly experienced staff and this multi-office coverage gives our client’s properties a service currently unmatchable by our competitors. Adding a fourth office to the mix takes that advantage to the next level.”
In January this year, the company opened a new Lettings Department which has now really taken off as landlord’s are starting to realise that the high quality of service and reputation that is expected from the sales team is being equally mirrored by the lettings team.
In August, Jonathan Waters himself personally launched the long awaited and much requested Silver Collection, a specialist niche arm of the company dealing in the sale of properties of £350,000 plus which is already proving successful.
The new office which opens in October will be in Norwich Road, Ipswich and will concentrate on the needs of people buying and selling homes in the IP1 postcode and surrounding villages.
This will include the Crofts, the Dales and the Norwich Road/Bramford Road area and extend to towns to the north and west of Ipswich such as Claydon, Hadleigh and Needham Market.
Jonathan Waters Estate Agents continues to be an independent company with sole Managing Director, Jonathan Waters, actively involved on a day to day basis in all areas of the running of the business.
This gives the company the excellent combination of being big enough to be highly successful, progressive and very busy, but still small enough to care on a personal basis for both its clients and its staff.
Jonathan added “Our continued innovation and our ability to punch well above our weight in areas such as marketing, training, social media and web site presence means we can stay ahead of the competition.”
But our new office is not the only area of expansion.
Other exciting plans on the cards for 2014 including the company looking for further expansion further afield with plans afoot for a new Colchester office in 2014.The estate agents are expanding operations from their Martlesham office, setting up a new Ipswich Waterfront Department and growing their lettings team.
With well over 120 running sales, the company is also expanding its highly acclaimed sales
progression department.
Also, we are increasing our sales negotiation team at our Foxhall Road office to cope with demand.
I think it’s nice to hear good news of a local company being successful and expanding in today’s economic climate. It’s really positive to hear that the housing market, which also has a knock on effect to so many other areas of the economy, is on the up once again.
