Spencers in Sheffield - on the brighter side of life!

At Spencers we believe in being positive. There is little point doom and glooming through life with your head down and your feet dragging. Fortunately, we finally think the rest of the world is starting to join us in our campaign for looking on the brighter side of life.

From the constantly depressing depths of the media to a general desire to be grumpy, we have seen people jumping on a band wagon of destruction for the property market. Borrowing has been difficult and prices have dropped but since the Diamond Jubilee the good old fashioned British spirit to brush ‘oneself’ off and to pick ‘oneself’ up seems to be prevailing. I don’t know if the sight of our poor Queen on that God-awful boat with the rain dripping down her cheeks was the turning point or not, I only care that the rest of the nation suddenly seem to be saying “sod it” and getting on with moving.

We have seen a good increase so far this year of instructions of very good properties, achieving very good prices from buyers who have got themselves into proceedable, organised positions, and we are putting part of the success down to our incredibly positive outlook as well as our new branding, which has had the most wonderful feedback.

In difficult times in business it is easy to think that the best thing to do is to batten down the hatches, spend little, and cut back; that is so last year! 2013 is our 20^th year at our offices on Ecclesall Road and the party is going to be epic. Our rental department has reopened and we are doing really well with wonderful clients flocking through the doors wanting to deal with good people in a local independent agency.

My dad, Jim Spencer, is still working with us and is currently learning social media expelling all myths that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, watch out for the blog. What we have learned from being independent is that honesty is key to the longevity of your good reputation. Our clients bring in cakes, cards, wine and most importantly “Thank you” messages every week to acknowledge that we care about doing the very best job for them to get them the most out of their transaction and their assets.

So, if you are looking for good old-fashioned honest advice with an opportunity to become a long-standing client and friend of ours we would be very excited to meet you to discuss why Spencers Estate Agents have been thriving for the last 20 years and intend to do so for the next 20 too. Thank you very much to all of our loyal clients, we really do appreciate your business.
