The Guild launch event in Northern Ireland a huge success

Posted on: Thursday, September 27, 2018

On 20th September The Guild of Property Professionals hosted an invitation-only launch event at the iconic Titanic Belfast in Northern Ireland. The event welcomed The Guild’s first Member in the region, Wilsons Auctions, and was a great opportunity to engage with potential new Members in Northern Ireland.

The event kicked off with an address by Iain McKenzie, CEO of The Guild, who introduced The Guild and highlighted the benefits that becoming a Member could offer independent estate agents in Northern Ireland.

Since its inception 25 years ago, The Guild of Property Professionals has seen substantial growth in both England and Wales, a pattern that is likely to continue with the expansion into the Northern Ireland region. “The turn out and interest at the event was phenomenal,” said Iain, “We had independent estate agents covering over 30 territories who recognised the advantage membership to The Guild offers and showed serious interest in being a part of our expanding network.”

Regional Manager, Kris McLean, who will be looking after the Northern Ireland Members, spoke on the topic, ‘How The Guild works for you.’ He explained the details of how The Guild’s unique offering of over 38 products and services can help agents to save money and increase their revenue and market share in their local market.

One of the many benefits of becoming a Member of The Guild is assistance to remain compliant in the often-complicated estate agency industry. This is achieved by providing Members with access to, among other things, Paul Offley - The Guild’s in-house compliance officer. Paul provided the attendees at the event with crucial advice on how to be fully compliant as an estate agent in the UK.

Rounding off the official speeches before the commencement of the celebratory drinks, Iain McKenzie expressed his gratitude to those who attended. “It is an exciting time for The Guild and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work with estate agents in Northern Ireland. This is a new chapter for The Guild, we are eager to see its growth and development in the future.”

The team were awesome throughout all aspects of the house purchase (Wendy, Nikki & Tom) especially as we needed a quick completion (under a month from viewing to moving in). Every question was answered and they were always super responsive and never left us hanging. I would thoroughly recommend from the purchase side and therefore from the selling side, as assuming the vendors of the property we purchased were thankful for a quick turnaround too. Thank you team H&O.

Jack at Holland and Odam recently helped me sell my house, and I couldn’t be happier with the service! From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in achieving the best outcome. Jack kept me updated every step of the way, answered all my questions patiently, and his expertise in the local market ensured we achieved a fantastic price. The whole team at Holland and Odam were efficient and friendly, making what can be a stressful process feel smooth and straightforward. Outstanding service!
