“Attitude is the desire to go further and to do better and it never rests.”

Why Aston Commercial? Because

we’re different.

We consistently lease and renew over 300 tenancies per year and gaining the best leasing result is about knowledge, network, process and attitude.

Knowledge.

This is where it starts, often a deep personal knowledge of the local area. Not just what a property is worth, but why. Sourced from trusted conversations, not a website. Businesses often don’t want to relocate too far away - and it helps to know, not just who is moving, but who might be.

Network.

Because we work so hard on developing and refine it constantly, we are a smaller agent with a large network. Ours is much more than a carefully classified list, so we know who’s who and who is in the market for what.

Process.

Under-rated by traditionalists, but in today’s market it’s critical. Particularly because it includes the right marketing mix – the key to gaining the right market attention. Process also includes actively chasing the right tenant, not just sitting and waiting for them to appear. This is where our business systems and personal attitude come together.

How are we different?

1. 2.

Big agent experience in a fresh innovative setting.

Aston Commercial gives you the experience of senior people who have worked for major international agents with the agility and adaptability of a smaller agency. We wanted to find a different way for an agency to operate closer to market realities and we have. We are big enough to have the experience, the capability and the critical mass. Small enough for you to have direct access to our senior people.

An evidence-based approach combined with in depth local knowledge.

When we give an opinion, we don’t shoot from the hip. While we often have direct experience relevant to an issue, we usually prefer to go away and look further, before coming back with an answer. Our knowledge is the sort you can only get from being personally immersed in an area. Knowing people. Not just what’s happening, but why. The sort of on the ground knowledge you can’t get from market reports, even though you need those too!

“When you get all these things right, results become inevitable.”

3.

Our independence & hands on Directors.

Our ownership, like our advice is totally independent. Not being burdened by head office agendas, or multi-level management structures, frees us to adapt. To make our own calls and to assess and seize opportunities fast, when that is what is needed. It’s an eternal problem in many businesses, when someone is good, they get promoted out of the operational day to day and their knowledge and experience is lost. At Aston Commercial all our directors are still involved in day to day deals and mentoring younger team members.

5.

Our commitment to innovation.

While the value of person to person will never change, many aspects of commercial real estate have changed, especially with regard to management systems and the importance of marketing. We work aggressively to stay ahead in this area, which drives better outcomes for you.

Our focus on the long term.

Some new clients are not used to this, but we are in it for the long haul not the quick sting. That might include waiting until market conditions are optimal before selling and understanding the big picture of where you want to be, not just where you have been.

4. 6.

it is to be, it is to be through

While great personal relationships are always built on competence, to us individual commitment is just as important. The constant desire to reach a high personal and professional standard is what really makes an Aston Commercial person – and this is irreplaceable.

“If

me.”
