September 2013 - our best ever sales month!

Jonathan Waters, managing director of Jonathan Waters Estate Agents was delighted to announce outstanding sales success during September.

"The September sales figures are in and the month didn't disappoint and ended in a flourish with over 60 sales agreed - our best ever sales month!" said Jonathan.

"The new additions to the sales team are proving incredibly effective too. I thought I had a strong team before but have now discovered that they are better than I ever realised!"

"However,  not one of the sales landed in our lap, all required hard work to achieve.  This is where the skill of an experienced sales team proved a massive advantage over our competitors."

"Looking at the numbers of valuations and new properties being taken on at present, it leads me to the assumption that October will be just as busy and successful!"

"It was great to treat the team to lots of goodies at the breakfast meeting this morning!"

"It's been the best ever month in lettings too and interviews are going really well for the planned expansion to our lettings team".

Jonathan Waters more successful at getting sales through to exchange and completion than any other estate agent in the Ipswich area

New research from independent company, Vizzihomes Sales, this week has shown that year to date, Jonathan Waters Estate Agents have successfully exchanged contracts on more than twice as many properties as its next nearest competitor.

Vizzihome Sales is an independent company that does market intelligence for estate agents.  Information is sourced from estate agency internet data, collated and published by Vizzihome.

In this particular category which is the total number of exchanged properties research was undertaken in the postcode areas IP1, IP2, IP3, IP4, IP5 and IP8 and covered all types of properties from £50,000 and above.  This was for the period 4/1/13 – 27/9/13.

To qualify estate agents had to exchange on a minimum number of properties which was 55.

Jonathan Waters was 232% more than the next nearest competitor and over three times more than seven other estate agents that qualified.

A delighted Jonathan Waters commented “The combination of our unique three office marketing and the mature and extensively experienced and skilled sales team that we have clearly makes a massive difference.  But selling a home is only half the story.  It’s helping the sale progress to a satisfactory exchange and completion where a lot of the skill and experience pays the maximum dividends.”

“At Jonathan Waters Estate Agents when we agree a sale that’s really where the bulk of our work commences.  We are currently adding to the strength and depth of our sales progressing team to cope with the sheer volume of sales that we are currently agreeing.  Our sales progressors only deal with sales agreed in the Ipswich area which means their local knowledge and understanding of the individual aspects of certain areas and certain types of properties is absolutely crucial.”

“We calculated that this year alone 28 of those sales would have fallen through if it had not been for a specific item of specialist knowledge that one of the team had.”

“A vast majority of the problems that crop up our team has come across before and knows how to solve”.

Surprising results from recent research

Those people who may have thought that the days are numbered for high street offices for estate agents may want to think again after recent research undertaken at Jonathan Waters Estate Agents. The company has an office in the Ipswich town centre and two satellite offices, one in east Ipswich and one in Martlesham Heath. Jonathan Waters Estate Agents enjoyed their best ever month, agreeing sales on over 60 properties during September 2013. Owner, Jonathan Waters, closely inspected the details of all the sales to investigate where the buyers came from . He was amazed to discover that nearly a third of the sales agreed involved the company’s town centre office.

A delighted Jonathan reported “this means that if you are trying to sell your home and it is being marketed from an estate agent with just a local office you could be missing out on nearly a third of all potential buyers of your home.”

“More buyers could mean a better price achieved for your home as competition between buyers iis magnified. In my 26 years experience in estate agency there’s nothing better than having buyers competing against each other for a specific property.” So don’t lose £1,000s – contact the absolute experts at selling property in the Ipswich area – Jonathan Waters Estate Agents. We market your property fully from our all our three offices which work together to sell your home for you.

 Our sales staff are on commission regardless of which office the property is sold from and therefore there is 100% co-operation between the three offices unlike many corporate estate agents where individual offices within a town or area compete with each other over commissions, bonuses and targets.

 This is just another one of the factors which makes Jonathan Waters Estate Agents so much more successful at selling homes in the Ipswich and surrounding villages.
