Wootton Estate Agents has announced that it has changed its name to Williams Isle of Wight Estate Agents. The business – located on High Street – has served the Island for some 17 years since it opened back in 2006. The decision has been made to change the name to reflect the fact that they sell and rent property all over the Island and not just in the village of Wootton Bridge – a common misconception. Ben Williams of the now Williams Isle of Wight Estate Agents, has said:
“It’s been a dilemma that we have had since we opened, we are very much part of the community in Wootton, however, we soon grew to sell and rent property all over the Island. It was always a cause of frustration though when clients said, ‘We thought you only sold the property in the Wootton area. “The new name hopefully mitigates that whilst still being proud and grateful to the community of Wootton who gave us a leg up all those years ago.”
Cracker! Top breaking news that!
Maybe a rebrand as “Parasites” would be better as estate agents do the least work for the most return of any occupation. All they actually do is list your house on Rightmove and pass a few messages along. Easiest job in the world but they often think they are doing something amazing. They nearly all went under until they clubbed together to take over Rightmove years ago.
Get your facts consistent and correct Hamad. Wootton Estate Agents, as they were then, managed to get out two house sales through and without them, both sales would have fallen through due to the issues with our buyers and our onward chains. Yes, some estate agents are not very ‘helpful’ or honest, but don’t assume the same with Wootton. For once, use your keyboard to make a judged and balanced comment.
Ben is a great guy! Good luck to him.
No-one needs an estate agent. It’s easy to sell and buy property without using rip-off merchants.
You only need a solicitor, Estate Agents are an unnecessary cost.
