Technology

The Partners at Ushers have from day one, concentrated on using technology to keep us a step ahead of the competition.

We have listed below :-

A Distinctive Name and Logo

The partners at Ushers have spent a great deal of time in researching our unique logo. We think you will agree that the “U” on our For Sale/ Sold &To Let/ Let By Boards is very eye catching. We want potential Buyers/ Tenants to see our board first, at your property, which helps us achieve a quicker sale/ let.

MORE Websites

We pride ourselves in advertising on MORE websites than most agents, including the 3 most popular- Rightmove.co.uk, Findaproperty.com and Propertyfinder.com. Coupled with us taking more photos than any other local agent and more exposure means a better chance of selling!

FREE PREMIUM advertising on Rightmove.co.uk

Stand out from the crowd with our special offer giving you a FREE premium advert for your property on the UK’s no.1 property website—Rightmove.co.uk*. This is normally offered by agents selling high end properties, but Ushers are bringing this exclusive product to all of our new owners.

BETTER presentation of properties

Ushers have invested in the latest technology to capture better photos and more of them compared to other Agents. Just compare the quality of our photos to our competitors and you will see they are brighter and show a lot more of the room as we use a more superior camera/ lens combination. Buyers/ Tenants appreciate seeing more photos as they get more of a feel for a property and are therefore more likely to want an actual viewing.

Full Colour Emails (as well as particulars)

With most of our Clients being online, they expect their Agent to be able to email them quickly. Unfortunately many competitors struggle to do this. They just email a bland text paragraph and maybe a couple of photos as attachments and cannot re produce colour particulars by email, Ushers use cutting edge technology, which allows us to send our Property particulars out embedded in the email instead of attaching large files for photos. This means that if we have taken 2o photos, we can email ALL of them within this embedded email, and not have 20 attachments. Our Owner & Buyers often compliment us on this great way of displaying Properties electronically, and helps our Clients to achieve a quicker Sale.

SMS Text Messaging

With many of our Clients being in meetings and unable to always take voice calls, the demand from our Clients for our SMS service is high. Unlike many of our Competitors, who do not use text messaging, we send 1200+ text messages a month. Our Owners benefit from their Properties reaching our Buyers/ Tenants quicker and our Buyers/ Tenants benefit from being updated often the same day as receiving any New Instruction.

FREE Floorplans/Virtual Tours

The Partners at Ushers are always looking for new technology to help our Clients & our Business. We chose Virtual Tours over floor plans, because floor plans are not 100% to scale, have no measurements and are so small on the Websites, many people we have spoken to on this, choose not to rely on them, and prefer the Virtual Tours. Virtual Tours, on the other hand allow us to show more of a room or garden than what a conventional photo can produce, thus giving our Clients the feel of actually being in the room without being in the room. The result is that when Buyers view the Property, having already seen the Virtual Tour, they are more serious, already having been able to have a virtual view of that same Property. This service is FREE, as part of our extensive marketing of our Clients Property.

Extensive Newspaper Advertising

From when Ushers first opened back in February 2003, we secured a PREMIUM advert in the front section of the Guardian Property Newspaper. Also unlike our competitors, we also advertise in a separate edition of the Guardian, giving your property more exposure for no extra cost. Being always at the front end of the Paper, on pages 4/5, our adverts get seen first. Most of our competitors have a rolling page, so they can be page 10 one week and then page 48 the following week, offering no consistency. With a Property paper that often has 95+ pages of Properties a week, our Clients can benefit from our advert being one of the 1st to be seen EVERY week. Getting your Property seen 1st gives you a better chance of Selling!

Latest Computers & 22” wide screen TFT Flat screens

We believe that ALL staff should be able to show off our Clients Properties. That is why, unlike many of our competitors, Ushers are regularly updating our hardware and now boast 22” wide screen digital monitors on each desk, larger than our competitors, showing off your property in fantastic detail. Why settle for less elsewhere when Ushers offer cutting edge technology to help you sell for no extra cost.

Modern Office Environment

Our Office, located in a prime High Street location, stands out from our Competitors, with our unique “U” sign as well as great brand image & colours. Once you step inside, you will see our Interior designed Office Interior, with leather sofas, modern Office furniture, modern computer equipment, relaxing background music and more…
