Most agents wouldn’t report on stats that might be interpreted negatively. I believe that it is our responsibility to remain true to our values and be open, honest and transparent at all times.

Sure, that can make for the odd awkward conversation - but if that conversation is backed up by relevant data and market knowledge, clients should feel comfortable whether it is good or bad news being delivered. Trust remains one of the most important factors in the relationships that we have with our clients.

I am delighted that so many Solihull homeowners trust DM & Co. with the sale of their property and I whilst we are not the biggest agent we continue to use data to support and educate those that are interested in the local property market.

I thought it would be useful to start sharing figures to help those that are interested in the Solihull property market to understand what results and performance look like.

This is my commitment to remaining transparent, in a changing market - who do you believe, what do you believe?

So, what do these statistics mean for the month of August at DM & Co. Homes?
