Colette Fletcher featured in local press
Reddish Area Manager, Colette Fletcher was featured in the Stockport Times East this week due to her success in the area. Take a look at what she had to say…
Thanks to a winning recipe of expert management combined with very highly motivated sales staff, Philip James is poised to sell over £137m of property in 2014. This figure is forecast to increase further in 2015 as the successful Greater Manchester team of sale agents continues to be managed by directors Rob Cuffe, Rob Kennedy and Mike Wilson.
Since its first two branches were established over 12 years ago in two of the most desired locations in Manchester, Didsbury and Heaton Moor; the firm has developed into the area’s top-ranked property agents, leaving other agents behind as it sells and manages more properties than any of its competition in the areas it covers.
One area that Philip James expanded into is Reddish, where the company has had a presence for the last 10 years and Area Manager, Colette Fletcher is Reddish’s only personal agent.
“I love property and I love being able to provide a bespoke service to my clients,” Colette says.
“I sold 43% of my total sales portfolio in July and several of those houses were only on the market for one week before having offers accepted!”
Why choose Philip James to sell your property in Reddish
The Philip James network of branches is a powerful tool to have behind you. Colette benefits from the backing and knowledge of a strong team of sales directors, with 50 years’ sales experience between them. The company’s agents have established impeccable reputations for expertly handling sales of multi-million pound investments as well as they handle sales of family homes.
“I offer a personal sales service to my clients, which is great, because I get to build a great relationship with them and find out exactly what they are looking for. This really helps me to match them up with the perfect new property for them in a way that other agents just don’t seem to do.”
“I have also been able to assist vendors who have struggled or felt very dissatisfied by the service they have received from other local agents,” Colette added. “A client recently came to me after having marketed their property with another local estate agent; after a few weeks they felt they weren’t getting anywhere and one of their friends who had already sold their property with me recommended they get in touch. I put the property on the market and a great offer came in really quickly which they accepted.”
Marketing your property
Everyone knows that marketing is one of the most important aspects in selling a property. Philip James invest heavily in all forms of marketing; they sponsor local area pages on Rightmove, so potential buyers and vendors will see Colette online, as well as out and about in Reddish.
“Your property will always get the exposure needed to maximise your chances of selling it, here at Philip James we have outstanding window displays in some of the most prominent locations in Manchester, which means the most people possible will be able to see your property details, accompanied by photographs which show off your property to its full potential.”
Colette explained that the Philip James e-newsletter reaches over 24,500 people each week, providing clients with the latest property news and market activity.
“We don’t just invest in social media and online marketing strategies; Philip James also invests in our in-house marketing, ensuring we have the top property systems to produce the best marketing materials possible, and it also gives buyers all the information they need.”
Colette really does offer the personal touch to selling your home and thinks there is nothing better than a personal service.
“I really think that it is incredibly important to have that element of face-to-face interaction in the business of estate agency. When I show people around the properties that are on the market, I can answer their questions easily and give them what they need to know. I know each property in detail as well as the people selling them. I think this puts Philip James Reddish way ahead of the competition and gives you the advantage when selling your home.”
