Exciting expansion plans at Fisher German Chartered Surveyors,
welcome Stuart Flint to his new post as Head of Residential Agency.
Previously with Knight Frank for 19 years, Stuart joins the firm as
Partner and is tasked with delivering significant growth to the
agency division.
Fisher German presently has 10 offices with a diversified
practice handling high profile business in areas such as estate
management, pipelines, renewable energy, and a variety of
professional work together with a longstanding agency business
which is set for ambitious expansion being implemented from January
2010.
Discussing his new appointment, Stuart Flint comments "It may be
seen as a challenging time to embark on a major expansion but the
market is showing clear signs of recovery. I believe Fisher German
is brilliantly placed to increase their agency market share, with
excellent people and a strong track record based on professionalism
and trust. Fisher German has a superb 'brand' with great potential
and this is what enticed me to them."
Whilst Stuart is in no doubt that there remains challenging
times ahead, he is convinced that 2010 will be very different to
the past two years. "The residential property market has been
through turmoil and in many places difficult trading conditions
persist but the outlook for next year is quite different in my
opinion. Provided interest rates stay at modest levels in a low
inflationary environment I think we will see a significant increase
in transactional volumes as people seek to 'get on' with their
lives".
Fisher German is already experiencing a notable increase in
prospective vendors seeking advice for sales next year, a 23% rise
on the same period in 2008. "This is great news for us" comments
Stuart "and just what potential sellers should be doing to
understand current values and get a head start for their marketing
campaign."
The principal Fisher German agency offices are located in
Banbury, Thame, Ashby de la Zouch, Market Harborough, Stafford,
Worcester, Newark & Knutsford providing exceptional regional
coverage for clients. The agency teams specialise in the sale of
village and rural property, from cottages to castles and pony
paddocks to extensive commercial farms. The agency expansion
includes plans for further key personnel recruitment and a
'refreshing' of the brand with innovative new marketing material
for clients to benefit from.
Joint Managing Partner, Henry Sale sees the new appointment as
the first step in the metamorphosis of the agency arm of Fisher
German. "Stuart has an exceptional reputation in the marketplace
and is a strategic thinker who is perfect to drive our business
forward at this exciting time."
