“Raising Fees Instantly” Testimonials
Powerful material and radical ideas for results, motivation and growth
“Richard’s training is not normal! It is inspirational. Clearly the best trainer in the UK. Highly recommended.”
James Ryan, Director, MD, Ellis and Co Golders Green. Hampstead Gdn Suburb
“Since implementing a higher fee regime following Richard’s Raising Fees Instantly seminar, we have added around £600,000 a year to our bottom line.”
Russell Manning, MMD, Manning Stainton, Leeds
“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, 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. 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
“…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.”
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. Our average fee is now 2.3% in a 1% area. 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, MD, 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-arguments 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
“Richard is a world-class trainer.”
Sussanne Chambers, MD, HomeXperts
“Within 24 hours of your seminar I had implemented your fee-raising techniques on a lettings valuation and after three objections agreed a fee which is double what they are getting from their current agents! Overall, our average commission has risen from 1% to 1.6% in the two months since your audioseminar. Thank you.”
Wiliam van Heerden, Aspire Estate Agents, Fulham
“We have just agreed two new instructions at a full 2% agency fee, so I am very happy with your coaching and it does work!”
