Why is it that the letting industry has always been regarded as the poor relation of sales? In our opinion, too many agents continue to treat their lettings properties as low-value instructions.
The reason for this may be that because rental properties have historically tended to turn round much more quickly than properties for sale and therefore some agents have no reason to make any kind of special effort in marketing the property to attract the right tenant.
But we take a different view. As renting becomes as much mainstream as property ownership, so we take a pride in every house and flat we are instructed to let on behalf of our highly valued landlord clients. By adopting this approach wonderful things can happen! Primarily – we attract more tenants which gives a greater choice for our landlord clients.
Our role is to secure a (usually) long-term tenant who reliably pays the market rent whilst cherishing the property as if it were their own. We are best able to attract this type of tenant when we promote the property with kid gloves. We also encourage great relationships with our tenants, which means they are more likely to be cooperative when it comes to liaising with us once their tenancy comes to an end.
Our aim is to continue to be Dartford’s leading letting agency by treating every tenant, landlord and their property with the respect they deserve. With rents running at a record high, isn’t it time our industry set some new benchmarks here? We’d like to think we’re playing our part!
Why not put us to the test in this - you might be pleasantly surprised!
