An agency that puts the brief in writing first
Halstead Row Property is a real estate agency at 148 Bellamy Street in Savannah, working to a brief and a fee agreed in writing before any work begins.
The agency takes six services and nothing else. Each one has a written scope and a published fee, and the property is read against that scope before an instruction is signed. Work that falls outside the service agreed is re-quoted at that point, and the client decides.
Nothing is added during an instruction. There is no marketing package that appears halfway through, and no fee that surfaces only at completion. What the instruction was signed for is what it covers, unless both sides agreed otherwise first and wrote it down.
Three principles
-
The brief is read back before the fee is fixed
A published fee applies to a published scope. What the client wants is written down and read back first, and a difference between that and the service agreed is named then rather than at completion.
-
Evidence, not an opinion offered on its own
An appraisal figure is only as good as the sales it is drawn from. Halstead Row Property names those sales in writing, and where the evidence is thin it says so instead of filling the gap.
-
No promised outcome
The agency states what it will do. It makes no promise of a sale, a letting, a price or a timescale, offers no forecast of what a property will be worth, and gives no legal, tax or financial advice.
What an instruction looks like
-
Step 1
The brief is taken
In writing, with the address, the property, the timing and the constraints recorded before anything is marketed.
-
Step 2
The scope is confirmed
One of the six services, or a plain statement that none of them fits the property today.
-
Step 3
The fee is confirmed
In writing, before the instruction is signed, including what would change it.
-
Step 4
The work is reported back
Against the scope that was agreed, with viewing feedback, offers and correspondence passed on as they arrive.
What this agency does not do
Halstead Row Property is a real estate agency and not a law firm, a lender or a surveyor. It does not give legal or tax advice, does not arrange finance, does not carry out structural surveys or valuations for lending or probate, and does not recommend a property as an investment or forecast what one will be worth. Where any of those is needed, the client is referred to the appropriate professional.
A question about a service, a property or a fee
The contact form takes a question and sends it to the agency. Book goes to the arrangements page; neither one confirms a time by itself.
