Creating your distinction, driving your

“Thank you so much for presenting to our firm in Glasgow. I would just like to say how impressed we were with you and your passion for the industry despite the challenges of the current economic situation. Although we are a young and vibrant firm we have many years experience in the business and I am delighted to tell you that even the most cynical and experienced campaigners within our ranks were seriously impressed with both your insight and creative ideas for the housing market.

We have no hesitation in highly recommending your services and products to any estate agency or property related business any of which should they take on just some of your ideas and recommendations will undoubtedly improve their position within their respective markets. We look forward to working closely with you in the future and sincerely thank you once again for your most professional and enthusiastic contribution to the continued success of Corum.”

Bruce Patterson, Director, Corum Estate Agents, Glasgow

“Richard's training is not normal! It is inspirational!

I thought you might be interested to know that we have just won a 4 star award for best London agent in the Daily Mail awards. Also yesterday we won Gold for best London Agent at the Estate Agency of The Year awards and Silver for best small agency in the UK. I am telling you this not to boast (although I am a little bit!!) but because in these hard times it may help you to promote your business as you are a part of our success and I am happy for you to shout about that as loud as you want. Please feel free to give my direct line to any potential clients so that I can recommend you – the best estate agency trainer in the UK!”

James Ryan, Ellis and Co, Islington

“Richard's course brings a fantastic approach of fresh, worthwhile ideas to all areas of the business. Truly inspirational for myself and my team, the results speak for themselves with our average fee up by £700 per sale”

Howard Davis, Franchisee, CJ Hole, Clifton

“Richard's training has had a profound effect on our business. Our fee level has increased dramatically from an average of around 1% to approaching 2% overnight. In addition we now list more top end of the market properties. We charge probably the highest fee of any estate agent in the area and yet continue to convert valuations to instructions at a healthy level.”

David Leake, Otisdale Estate Agents, Yorkshire

“Richard's course was FANTASTIC! Just LOVED his ideas and would love to talk to him more… as soon as I can!!!”

Kate Green, Newton Fallowell, Derby

“…The meeting with your company was exactly what we needed. If we continue at this pace we will dramatically increase our profit this year, possibly by 30% to 40%. The most valuable thing the training gives you is confidence. I feel like a different agent! It has shown me we can all change quite quickly if you put your mind to it. Our fee levels have genuinely risen instantly and I feel excited about the business again, and so does my team… Sorry Richard, this is a long way of saying thank you.”

“Just a brief note to enthuse about the results that we have seen from the course last week, already. Clearly motivated from the ideas and directives discussed, I am receiving daily boasts from all and sundry as to high levels of instructions, at new found fee levels and importantly, from clients that very genuinely appreciate us and like who we are and what we do. I myself have just listed a property at a 2% sole agency fee, with board and at a price £5,000 less than similar, optimistically priced comparable properties.

Kristian Hill received an enquiry on Friday from a ‘fee shopper’ who had been quoted the obligatory, cop out rate of ‘one percent’ over the telephone by a less able agent and Kristian promptly jumped in his car and signed them up that day at 2%! This will sound like it's been written by you but I have to say that with the results gained from your enlightening words so far, the course has already paid for itself. Please keep in touch as I do wish to maintain a regular training programme now to ensure that we don't lose our edge. Best regards and thanks once again.”

Russell Quirk, Quirk Deakin Estate Agents, Essex

“Not only have we increased our fees by about 20% but our conversion rate has risen by a similar amount in the last 12 months as well. Before Richard's training we may have thought these two results were diametrically opposed."

Charles Bainbridge, Director, Colebrook Sturrock, Kent

“Richard's training immediately had a positive impact on our percentage commission rate. In a market where agents are constantly underselling themselves Richard gave us the tools and techniques to become the agent of choice at the right fee. I would encourage all estate agents to attend this seminar as it will help your business secure the fees you deserve."

Jonathan Handford, Director, Newmans Property Services, Midlands

“Richard, just for your amusement, I have been trying to put into practice some of your ideas for raising fees. Over the last couple of days I have been going into appointments with a massive armoury of counter comments should a 2% fee be challenged. I must say I am very disappointed as so far no one seems to have batted an eye lid at the fee! I am now desperate for someone to challenge it, I'm sitting there thinking please, please say we are too expensive. It may be ‘beginner's luck’ but if this goes on I am going to have to go in higher to force a response!”

Charles Bainbridge, Director, Colebrook Sturrock, Kent
