1 a guide to selling or letting your home... successfully

2 Every town has a variety of styles of estate agent, from the soulless corporate agency driven by figures, to the one-man band; from arty-contemporary to pushy-salesy. Each type tends to appeal to a specific sector of the property-owning community, and rightly so buyers and seller alike need to be comfortable working with an agent that reflects their own values. Welcome... we value people and property As an independent agency, we have the flexibility to adopt whatever approach we feel is of greatest benefit to our clients. Without the constraints of corporate standardisation, our values are more likely to be a reflection of our own aspirations. What s more, we are a business with a conscience as well as a heart. We believe that we all have a duty to reduce our carbon emissions and improve the environment around us. As a result, in 2010 we took the decision to become a Carbon Neutral company and to play our own part in helping to reduce the carbon emissions released by UK businesses

3 Established locally for over 20 years and with dedicated, independent offices covering Harrow, North Harrow, Pinner, Hatch End, Northwood, Wealdstone, Harrow Weald, Kenton and the surrounding areas. Our in-depth, local knowledge means we are ideally placed to offer tailored and accurate valuations and advice to our customers. a history of strong client relationships & exceptional service Founded by partners Gary Rawlinson and David Goldman in 1994, with Jon Shaw joining the partnership in 2001, who between them share over 85 years of experience in the industry, Rawlinson Gold is grounded in a deep understanding of the market place and a commitment to exceptional customer service. Gary, David and Jon remain very active in the day to day running of the agency carrying out many market appraisals personally. The partners pride themselves on the first class team they have been able to build around them. If you were to analyse the approach we take to estate agency and business generally, you would find us to be highly personable and empathetic to the needs of our clients, that we have time to listen with interest, and that we believe passionately in providing straight-talking, good advice that is responsibly realistic rather than insincerely flattering. Ultimately, it comes down to transparency and integrity, which are the cornerstones of our business. When combined with the passion we also have for results, the balance is a unique and enjoyable service of which we are extremely proud

4 the people and the local expertise that set us apart...
