Great estate agents blend the old and the new

You may have noticed that we call ourselves 21st century estate agents with traditional values.

22 years of service and counting

We believe that by putting things that have worked in our business for many years together with new approaches and technology, we will succeed for ourselves and for our clients.  A lot of our succcess is based on everyday, friendly contact with people in our branches, in their streets, and in the homes we're helping to sell, buy, let or manage. We do like a coffee and a chat. That will never change. 

At the same time, we innovate. We have this blog, our Twitter account @edwardashdale, and we've been using Quick Recognition (QR) codes before many other estate agents. 

We have other things going on or planned that will build on our success. What success? Look no further than our tweet just two days ago:

Safe - in black and white. And blue

"Another happy #Landlord. Referred by father this morning, keys given, viewing, offer, 12 months in advance, accepted! 3hrs approx #lettings" 

And another tweet that shows our commitment to our clients:

 "New paper work confirming we are @Safeagent for another year just arrived in post. 3:42!!! #RoyalMail pic.twitter.com/uWQhewZ"

For the record -  SAFE Agent is a Government endorsed mark denoting firms that protect landlords and tenants money through client money protection schemes - http://www.safeagents.co.uk 

So, if you use Edward Ashdale you can be assured of a quality service and of our strong commitment to our  clients (and to coffee). 

QR codes and you

Our very own Edward Ashdale QR code

Edward Ashdale Estate Agents is a 21st century estate agents with old-fashioned values.  We described what those values are in an earlier blog here.

Two of our values – professionalism and innovation – mean that we have to keep up with the latest developments to best help our clients.  Where possible, we want to take the lead in what we do.

With our use of QR codes, we are a leader.  We’re ahead of the majority of other estate agents, large, medium, and small, many of whom do not use them in any of their marketing as yet. In fact, we've been using them for months!

So, what is a QR code?

In short, a QR code is a type of barcode that can be easily scanned with smartphones. It will take you straight to a webpage, without the hassle of typing in long and complicated web addresses.  The letters QR stand for Quick Response.

Our webpages include the details of the properties we have to buy, sell, and let.  So it is helpful to our clients that, for instance, anyone looking at one of our “For sale” signs or at our newspaper property advertisements can easily use a QR code to go to our website if they have a smartphone handy.

We have used this ahead of many other estate agents because we want to be professional and innovate so our clients really enjoy our service.

However, our old-fashioned values mean we enjoy the old ways too.  So, once you learn about us through this blog or a QR code, drop in to see us and say hello.  We will be able to help you if you’re a landlord or seeking to rent, buy or sell a home, and if you do you can be sure of a Quick (and friendly) Response.

You can see our staff here (we've recently been joined by Hayley who will be added to the page soon) and this is where you can find us:
