“The 70-strong judging panel took almost three months deliberating – a long process and it was keenly contested! We were judged over a comprehensive range of activities – from customer service standards and marketing through to overall excellence in delivery – we clearly demonstrated our unique mix of local knowledge with international marketing skills and won each of the individual categories!” She says Leggetts place enormous emphasis on marketing and promoting every property listed:
“we believe this gives us our edge in the marketplace. We’re present at all the big property exhibitions in the UK and France, and we’ve excellent working relationships with the media – the properties we sell often appear in high profile publications such as Country Life International, The Daily Telegraph and the Wall Street Journal. “Vendors know no other agency in France offers their property the kind of international exposure we can – and do! Over the past few months we’ve had a substantial presence at property exhibitions in London, Birmingham, Yorkshire, Brussels and Bordeaux.” A vital key to Leggetts’ success is its rapidly expanding professional team: “We’re growing substantially year on year. All our Leggett people know their locality well and have a passion for property!” From just 67 agents in 2010, Leggett’s sales team has now expanded to more than 220: “we’re continually looking for highly motivated, bilingual and professional people to work with us. We provide the best possible training and our dedicated head office team is there to support our people and clients throughout the entire sales and purchase process. “In Quercy, our team members are well-established within their local communities, having lived here with their families for many years.
