James Wyatt, Senior Partner of Virginia Water property agency Barton Wyatt, situated within the heart of Surrey, was elected Chairman of the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) Surrey branch in April 2010. As part of his duties as Chairman he has announced his future goals for the group plus the primary networking occasion for the region.
Having been an estate agent for 26 years, early on in his career James saw the benefits of the NAEA and promptly turned a member. 23 years later James is now very proud to be a voice for the industry in Surrey and needs to continue selling best apply, drive for more members and also increase exposure to the public.
James informs us,
"The NAEA is excess of just a label for an estate agent; it holds much more significance which is one thing I wish to higher promote to non-members and the public. One of the key choices of the NAEA to members is the push for education. The training programs are a superb solution to acquire a vocational qualification relevant to your property apply, be it, residential or business gross sales, lettings, property management or even auctioneering. On high of this property professionals have entry to very important industry information including the most recent authorities laws and professional resources.
"For the patron of course, understanding that they have appointed an NAEA member offers them peace of mind that they're shopping for or promoting by means of professionals who are there to promote and shield their client's interest. It is crucial for all members to carry legitimate and up to date skilled indemnity cowl, for instance, and it worries me that on this point alone there are property agents buying and selling with out this insurance coverage leaving their clients susceptible to the monetary penalties of professional negligence, merely put purchasers stand to lose money if things go wrong. It's not acceptable for the trusting public to be unwillingly put in this liable position, and it's only one thing the NAEA fights for in government."
For his first occasion as Chairman, James has organised a networking event on fifteenth September, a cruise down the Thames with the backdrop of Hampton Court docket Palace and Richmond-upon-Thames. The goal of the event is simple - to convey collectively all facets of the property business so as to meet folks you want to aid you run your business... Builders, bankers, solicitors, estate agents, interior designers, entrepreneurs, kitchen suppliers, landlords, property managers and so on. James wants to get Surrey speaking and dealing with each other.
With 330 present members in Surrey and a history of poor flip outs at earlier events James has already had a report number of respondents to his invite and he must get a bigger boat!
James muses,
"Gone are the times when individuals have a spare day to spend in a colorless resort room being preached at, property professionals haven't got a spare minute in the current climate with the web including a new dimension to property promotion for instance, so the networking cruise has actually bought folks talking and it stands to be a fantastic success."
