Why Use Estate Agents In Didcot And Wallingford

Experienced, Knowledgeable and Highly Motivated Staff

Having been in business for over 20 years, James Gesner has built an excellent reputation for his hands-on approach to selling and renting properties in the South Oxfordshire. James and his staff have extensive local knowledge yielding approximately more than 40 years combined experience, with a wealth of knowledge and experience coupled with honesty, integrity, and professionalism. Our reputation is extremely important to us, and we take pride in what we do.

Local People Looking After You

When you instruct James Gesner to market your property, we are not just selling your home, we are selling the area in which we also live and work. Knowing your patch is paramount and we get asked all the time about the local schools, where the nearest shop is, which gym is best suited, and what golf club to join. This is extremely important to us and in turn gives people the confidence that they are purchasing in the right area for their partners and families.

Proven Results

We always endeavour to give excellent advice which you can rely on, to vendors and purchasers alike. Many of our clients are from recommendation and repeat business. We regularly receive gifts on completion day as well as testimonials. Please check our reviews on Google and local social media pages.

Dedication

Being a family run business, our ethos is to look after you and to see the sale and purchase through to a successful conclusion, ensuring that you are happy and recommend our service to others. Our sales chasing is extremely thorough, and this is where we regularly earn our fee! Our fall through rate is typically 1 in 10, where the national average is in fact 1 in 3.

Local Versus National

Gone are the days when if your property was at a certain price level you automatically instructed a National Agent. The Internet has now transformed how properties are marketed. Increasingly, enquiries are through the web. Whilst it is nice to see your property in Country Life, you the vendor pay for that privilege. Local Agents like us can and do offer national and international coverage through the major portals, Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket and Primelocation which attract enquiries worldwide, all four are recognised as the UK's leading property websites. Our own website www.jamesgesner.co.uk receives over 1000 views a week.

Efficient And Friendly

Long before it became the trend, we offered to do accompanied viewings. Both vendors and purchasers prefer this; it leaves you free to look after the children or pets and us to show prospective purchasers around your property, extolling the virtues of it. Our offices are open 7 days a week 08:30 – 18:30 Monday to Saturday and 10:00 to 16:00 Sunday. The websites are there for you 24 hrs a day and updated daily.

On first point of contact with you we will take the time to listen to all your requirements. We specialise in matching the right person to the right property. Frequently, we liaise both a sale and purchase, always keeping you informed as to what is happening. This means staying connected with you, your purchaser, solicitors, other agents in the chain, mortgage companies and, finally, the mortgage valuer and structural surveyor. We have an enviable reputation amongst local mortgage valuers that when they need comparable evidence, they come to us as their first port of call. They comment "If you don't know, nobody does!"

Most people do not realise that unless we can justify the price the purchaser is paying, it will not value up on mortgage i.e., if you need a high percentage mortgage, you will not get it if the comparable do not stack up. 60% of the work on your sale and potential related purchase is done after a sale is put in hand providing your agent is doing their job properly.

Staff Training

We invest a considerable amount of time and money in the training of our staff, with all our staff qualifying in the relevant fields afforded to us by both the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) and the Association of Residential Lettings (ARLA).

Helping to Support The Local Community

We regularly support local events, and in recent years James has run the London Marathon 5 times raising over £40,000 in the process. Since 2016 we set a target of £10,000 a year for our chosen charity partner ‘The Footsteps Foundation’ of which James is now an Ambassador and to date we have raised over £60,000!

Town, Village and Country Homes

We are extremely fortunate to live and work in such a beautiful area and having worked with the agency for 24 years, James knows the area like the back of his hand. Having worked in both Wallingford and Didcot, James is one of the most experienced agents in the area. South Oxfordshire has always been an extremely popular area to live being in such proximity to London with easy commuter links via Didcot Parkway.
