 “We are delighted with how much we have achieved. We have helped and assisted many clients find their dream homes and sell their properties across Brighton & Hove .Of course, the last 2 years have been extremely hard work, but we have proven that by offering an excellent service at an excellent fee we have been able to establish ourselves as the estate agent of choice with more vendors than any other single estate agency branch in Brighton & Hove*

David adds ‘Our commission rates are fixed at a bargain rate of 1.2% where many other estate agents have chosen to inflate their fees.  This is because we empathise with our clients and the current situation with the economy. We will also recommended Home Information Pack providers at the best rates found and unlike many agents we do not except a fee for this as we aim to keep the costs of moving down for our vendors’.

Jason Brand adds ‘We must first congratulate our staff for doing such a wonderful job in this tough market by remaining positive and delivering outstanding results. 2008 was certainly a challenging year and we are very proud that we have bucked the trend by our expansion. This year we have welcomed 2 new staff to ‘BV’ and have increased our marketing by joining the fastest growing property portal ‘propertyfinder.com’

‘We pride ourselves on our stylish brand and our integrity is of upmost importance . We are members of the Ombudsman scheme for estate agents and have recently jointed the Brighton & Hove Estate Agents Association (BHEA). Our particulars are presented to the highest standard which include high quality photography, floor plans and professional printing to ensure every property is put to the market to stand out and give the client the very best chance of selling.

‘Jason adds ‘Brand Vaughan’s move into lettings has been a natural progression for us. We will run lettings with the same very high standards and welcome Jessica Cina as our director of lettings. With a proven track record and natural ability we have the ideal person to drive the business on.

Jessica Cina has worked in the lettings industry for 7 years. She has progressed rapidly from an office administrator to managing a highly successful office with one of Brighton’s largest rental agents and is looking forward to this new challenge. She feels that working from the ‘foot of the ladder to the top of the ladder’ gives her a full understanding of all aspects involved in this specialist field.

I am delighted for the opportunity to join Brand Vaughan and excited by the success they have shown in the last two years despite the current economic climate. It is clear that this forward thinking company strives to deliver the very best results for their clients at any cost.

Our new and motivated lettings team have already expanded due to high demand for the Brand Vaughan experience.  Not only do we feel that our clients will be “happy” with the service we provide but also the price at which they pay.
