What my clients are saying...
Within days of your course we took on a £5.5m house at a 3% fee. I'm kicking myself for charging less as I think of how much more we could have made last year! I'm just about to book my colleague on your next course!
Ben Hunt, Winkworth
(In response to another attendee asking if they have doubled their fees yet...): "We have indeed, and its worked to our favour. We were the 7th agent out yesterday – yes 7th – and we were of course the most expensive – and guess what – we got the business and we got his father's house too!
We are now achieving 2% at EVERY appointment!
I feel like I am on an American Reality Show! Or some Jeremy Kyle character will feature me on WHEN AGENTS MEET RICHARD!!!!!
Jan Dale - Urban Base Executive
I have totally changed the way I present on a Market Appraisal. Since the course I have had three Market Appraisals, two of which have signed up at between 30% and 50% more than I would have charged before the course!
AW - Camerons
"The day after the training I quoted 2% + vat when normally I would have gone in lower. They never flinched and it felt great."
Mark Griffiths
"We have had a new instruction confirmed today in George Road, Edgbaston. It is going on for £1,350,000 and the fee is 2% + vat so I am pleased I went on the latest training course."
Paul Tarn, Newmans, Midlands
"I went out this morning to my first valuation since the training. They have just called to instruct me – 2% + vat, £499 + vat up front. John Shepherd quoted 1% + vat and Hunters a flat fee less than that. Richard Rawlings, I salute you!!! I would definitely have gone in at 1.5% before the training, especially as the other agents don’t charge anything up front."
Martin Grant
Since implementing a higher fee regime following Richard's training, we have added around £600,000 a year to our bottom line"
Russell Manning, Manning Stainton, Leeds
My staff attended your morning session a few months ago. I can confirm it works as we have been able to raise our fees by 30% without a problem.
Peter Raw, Seasons Estate Agents, Cornwall
I was sceptical, but since attending your course our fees have doubled from 1% to 2%. Our conversion ratio is now nearly 100% (eight instructions from eight vals this week) so we are thinking of moving this to 2.5% or even 3% as our market share has also increased dramatically and we are now the top agent in town! We have also raised our management fee from 10% to 15% without any issues using the methods we learnt on your course which I would happily recommend without hesitation and insist that all my staff attend!
Paul, Ainsworth-Lord, Lancashire June 2012
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!
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
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%.

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
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, Yorkshire
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 is not normal! It is inspirational!
The best estate agency trainer in the UK!
James Ryan, Ellis and Co, Islington
Our average commission has risen from around 1.5% to almost 2% in the two months since your seminar. Thank you!”
Aspire, Fulham
The whole team enjoyed the training on Friday and we instructed 5 properties at 2% on Saturday producing an increase commission of £5,600 within 24 hours.
