LANDLORDS
NEIL HAS TAKEN OVER THE MANAGEMENT OF TWO PROPERTIES FOR ME IN RECENT MONTHS AND HIS SERVICE AND PROFESSIONALISM ARE EXCELLENT! Dr. Killen, Newton Mearns
Having 25 years experience in the letting industry you could assume that you've seen it all. At Thomson Residential, we realise however that the market is constantly changing and we need to continually adapt to the ever changing demands that are placed on both the letting agent and the landlord. Fundamentally though, we believe that the key to effective management is to keep it simple. Service; It is a small word but one that comes up time and time again when in conversation with landlords. So many times have we spoken to a landlord who is currently letting their property and is unhappy with the service their current agent is providing. The complaints are always the same and it always comes down to one thing - communication. Landlords are fed up with companies not taking them seriously and being treated as just a number. Thomson Residential are committed to providing a service level that is second to none. As an independent business, it is of critical importance that our clients are happy with the service we provide, as only by achieving that can we pick up new clients through positive word of mouth. We really feel that we can make a difference to the whole experience of rental for landlords. The service requirements for new landlords echo those of experienced landlords with the obvious exception of that daunting feeling you get when you consider renting for the first time. What certification do I need? How do I get a tenant? How are repairs dealt with? What happens if rent is outstanding? We recognise these fears and are on hand to guide new landlords through the process and work with our clients to form a successful partnership that makes letting your property easy.

RESIDENTIAL SALES
I HAVE BEEN DELIGHTED BY THE SERVICE PROVIDED. HAVING USED BIGGER NATIONAL COMPANIES IN THE PAST, I CAN HONESTLY SAY THE DIFFERENCE IS LIKE NIGHT AND DAY. THEY PROVIDE A LOCAL, PROFESSIONAL AND FRIENDLY SERVICE! Mrs. Culley, Clarkston
Although moving home can be daunting, with the right guidance it can be an enjoyable and seamless process. To achieve this, the key element is communication so we position ourselves to echo the practices of our letting side of the business and keep things simple. We find that most problems can be resolved with a bit of clarity and that everyone appreciates a common sense approach to an issue. In addition to this, we have a commitment to using the latest technology to ensure that our grounded approach is complimented by systems that allow us to process the day to day activities seamlessly. This allows us to easily keep our information up to date, safe and secure. With over 25 years experience in the property industry, our director, Neil Thomson, has seen property booms and busts, recessions and recoveries. There have been many changes over this time but what remains is the need for good, honest advice and service. How we are with our clients is how we are with our families and colleagues. We believe the foundation of any relationship should be trust, without the stereotypical Estate Agent attitude. What we do promise is to treat you like an individual, take care of your needs and always provide good, honest service. If this sounds like a good match and you have a property to sell in Glasgow or the surrounding areas, then give us a call to see what makes us different.
