Dawsons expand their area from Morriston to Neath

2020 was a tricky year for everyone with the onslaught of the COVID pandemic and businesses being forced to close or completely amend their working policies to reduce physical contact.  The property industry was no exception;  even though estate and letting agents are now are able to transact and keep the property market moving, we are encouraged by the Government to use virtual viewings and video tours wherever possible, to limit physical property viewings to those able to proceed immediately, and to keep office traffic to appointments only.

The up-side of adapting all of our systems and processes to really incorporate online property transactions, is that we have been able to expand the area we cover from some of our branches.  We now have more time to spend on physical appointments, property valuations and viewings, as we are no longer wasting time on those who are ‘just browsing’ or ‘who are unable to proceed’ and this has really increased our productivity and customer service levels.

From our Morriston office, we have now expanded out to Neath and Port Talbot.  We love these areas because they have so much to offer for families and that is our main customer base.  

All about Neath and surrounding areas

With so many good local primary and senior schools in the local area, it is clearly a popular place for families with children of school age.  Of course, at the moment of writing, the schools are closed, but it is still important for families moving into or within the local area to be within the school catchment for some of these fabulous schools:

As well as the great pull for families, both Neath & Port Talbot offer some great tourist attractions, making the area affluent and popular for the tourist industry.  With the pandemic causing a huge reduction in those able to fly overseas for holidays, the coast of South Wales is a popular choice for people wanting to vacation in the UK.  

What is there to see and do locally?

James Smale, Dawsons branch on Morriston

DAWSONS DELIGHT AS JAMES RECEIVES ANNUAL RELOCATION NETWORK ASSESSMENT

James Smale,  from Dawsons’ Morriston branch, has been assessed as their company’s Relocation Agent Specialist.

The 2018 assessment was awarded by Relocation Agent Network (RAN) following completion of its training programme and is achieved by individuals who continue to provide good quality service to relocating families moving either from or to the Morriston area.

James first qualified as a RAN Specialist in September 2017 by completing Relocation Agent Network’s  a comprehensive online training programme, The Importance of Service. A national network of leading estate agents (of which Dawsons is a member), RAN introduced the training programme to ensure each of their members provides the very highest customer service to those relocating around the UK.

Dawsons’ Senior Partner, Chris Hope said: “Having a Relocation Agent Specialist in the team offers our relocating customers the added assurance that they’ll be working with someone who understands the relocation process, someone who can offer help and guidance along the way.

“We’re so proud that James’s performance has been assessed this year and it’s a great example of the continual development we invest in, here at Dawsons.”

To be successfully accredited, participants must complete three phases of learning, which begins with four training sessions on the importance of customer service. This is followed by three online seminars covering the Relocation Agent Network Referral Process and how best to help customers who are relocating around the UK. Finally, participants must convert their theoretical learning into a practical skill set by delivering assistance to three relocating customers.

By working with fellow members across England, Scotland and Wales, Relocation Agent Network members provide an exclusive relocation referral service to customers. For those relocating to Morriston, Dawsons guides their customers through the daunting task of moving to an unfamiliar location. This includes local area information on schools and amenities, popular neighbourhoods and (of course) finding the right property for them. As a Relocation Agent Specialist, James ensures that this process is made even smoother.

Relocation Agent Network’s Managing Director, Richard Tucker said: “To be recognised for their performance this year as a Relocation Agent Specialist is a great achievement. Well done to James. Selected by us to represent the Network in Morriston, Dawsons has proved themselves to be the area’s Local Expert. So with the addition of an in-house Relocation Agent Specialist, they have gone one step further to provide relocating buyers and sellers with the very best customer service.”
