“When it comes to consistency, quality, attention to detail and a service that meets the personal aims, goals and requirements of the individual, ambitious local landlords will always benefit best by working with a reputable independent letting agent - hands down." - Bill Rockett
As a local landlord, you might feel that to dream big and be a roaring success, your investment will be best served by a large letting agent with branches up and down the nation. But, in our opinion, using one of the big letting agents to manage your property will only serve to hinder your prospects. Here’s why:
Big national letting agents are, on the whole, focused solely on large institutional landlords and as such, provide a far less personable service than you would get with a local independent letting agent. As a result, smaller, budding landlords, like yourself, could end up falling through the cracks.
When you ‘fall through the cracks’, you will find yourself fighting for the very service you’ve been promised. This means that rather than enjoying hands-on support, advice and guidance, as well as a swift resolution to any issue related to your property - you could end up with a headache and a hole in your pocket.
No landlord wants to waste their time or money. Regrettably, with some of the bigger, dare we say, more faceless, agents, you will end up wasting your time and you will end up wasting your money.
Moreover, the franchise and chain business model is to run everything within the organisation cheaply, with the least amount of staff, while aiming to maximise profits as much as humanly possible. This approach means shortcuts. This approach means that the landlord loses out.
With a local independent letting agent, you will get a more personal, hands-on service where you become a client and a friend, rather than a name and a number in a database.
That said, if you’re a landlord operating in or around The Potteries and you’re looking for a local independent letting agent you can trust, Rockett Home Rentals will help you get you where you need to be. Here’s why…
