Profile
The Bromsgrove branch of Charles Howell Estate Agents Ltd opened its doors in early January of 2010 with snow lying deep on the ground, the daunting backdrop of an impending election and an apparently deteriorating economy (a promising start !). The office supports Sales extending across the north Worcestershire region augmented by a Fine Art Department expertly headed up by David Barby (of Flog It, Bargain Hunt and Antiques Roadshow fame).
Charles commented that "I was convinced that there was scope within the Bromsgrove market for an Agent able to provide a service for Clients selling individual or distinctive homes, able to formulate a marketing plan meeting or even exceeding the requirements of home seller and buyer alike. We’ve invested considerable time in creating a robust marketing model, a blend of advertising and brochure styles allied to high quality staffing and training. Professional photography and a credible website are an absolute must supported by cutting edge technology providing an appropriate distribution vehicle Clients have come to expect”.
Charles, a Fellow of the National Association of Estate Agents (FNAEA), has enjoyed a highly successful career over a period of some twenty eight years within both corporate and independent sectors, working for such ‘blue chip’ names as John D Wood when overseeing their Cotswolds operations.
Latterly, he spent many years successfully building up the profile of prominent local agents, Andrew Grant of Bromsgrove selling homes within both Town and Country settings. He particularly demonstrated an expertise in the sale of rural homes, spread across northern Worcestershire and in such diverse villages as Belbroughton, Dodford, Bournheath, Barnt Green and the Bentleys.
He remains committed to providing Clients and Buyers alike with high standards of customer service, observing that, for example “It’s bizarre in the current economic climate, local Agents are no longer open 7 days a week, providing access to homes when buyers are about especially on Sundays. Firms previously open on Sundays seem to have backtracked as a means of cutting costs, to the detriment of their Clients interests, We certainly intend being open when it suits both buyers and sellers and that means 7 days a week and where required, into the evenings. We must never forget that we are a customer service driven industry and behave accordingly”.
Charles is especially pleased to provide prospective Clients with access to the Fine Art expertise of David Barby Associates. David Barby FRICS is an acclaimed, high profile and flamboyant auctioneer and highly experienced valuer appearing regularly on national television (‘Antiques Roadshow’, ‘Flog It’ and ‘Bargain Hunt’). He is able to arrange valuations in respect of insurance, matrimonial or Probate issues as well as act as an ‘Expert Witness’ in contentious circumstances.
