With news of the recent failure of Sweet Property Services in Rochester, it’s a good opportunity to reconsider best practice in agency. It’s pretty important and we should all be reminded of our responsibilities to our clients when they are making key financial considerations which may have serious implications for them.
Raising public awareness of what to expect should be something to be proud of and here at Michael Parkes we strongly believe in professionalism at all times. It’s our job to act fairly and use our due skill to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients within the limitations of the market.
