Time for a cuppa? 5-Minutes with Kimberley Money

Kimberley Money is the Branch Manager at Beresfords in Harold Wood.

With 35 years of experience in the travel and property industries, she brings a wealth of knowledge to her role. Kimberley is known for her positive attitude, strong work ethic, and passion for helping people.

We asked her a few questions about her job and whether she has any tips for those moving to the Harold Wood area.

I thoroughly enjoy helping people and love houses, so it seemed like I would enjoy each day at work.

Never assume and always keep in touch with the motivated vendors. The job is like a game of ‘snakes and ladders’ so plenty of highs and low, but to keep a level head regardless. With every set back, comes greater opportunities. It is not worth being downcast when you get rejected.

Having over 20 years of the local property market means that I can assist them with getting the best price possible, with the great marketing we have at Beresford’s and the excellent local office supplying us with quality applicants for their property.

Meeting people and viewing lovely properties.

Be like a Rhino, as a tough skin comes with the job.

Also, it’s a contact sport, so the activity numbers equal results.

We are lucky to be on the Elizabeth Line, it really does provide us with plenty of potential buyers.

Buyers are quietly cautious, with a lot of mortgage valuations not taking place ‘in person’ more buyers are getting their own surveyors booked in.

Buyers seem to love properties with great E.P.C. ratings and green credentials like solar panels.

We try and have straight forward conversations with our buyers from the first point of contact to manage their expectations on the ‘journey’ ahead.

To think of the seller’s viewpoint on things and put themselves in the best possible place to get the sellers wanting them as their buyers. Our sellers want to sell with someone who is fully committed and an excellent communicator.

To spend time getting their property ready for photos and viewings, to de-clutter, deep clean and refresh as much as possible. Clear out their junk now… why spend money moving clutter.
