Dawsons trio receive advanced status as Relocation Agent Network specialists

Matthew Whitehead, Davina Rowlands and Joe Chiffi from Dawsons have received an ‘Advanced’ assessment as their company’s Relocation Agent Specialist (RAN). The 2018 assessment was awarded by RAN. It is achieved by going above and beyond in the relocation services individuals provide to relocating families moving either from or to the Llanelli area as assessed by Relocation Agent Network based on performance results . Only 10% of Relocation Agent Specialists from RAN across England, Scotland and Wales have received the ‘Advanced’ award. Matthew and Joe, from Llanelli  branch, and Davina, from Killay branch, first qualified as Relocation Agent Specialists by completing Relocation Agent Network’s  comprehensive online training programme, The Importance of Service. A national network of leading estate agents (of which Dawsons is a member), Relocation Agent Network introduced the training programme to ensure each of their members provides the very highest customer service to those relocating around the UK. Dawsons’ Senior Director Chris Hope said: “Having a Relocation Agent Specialist in the team offers our relocating customers the added assurance that they’ll be working with someone who understands the relocation process, someone who can offer help and guidance along the way. “We’re so proud that Matthews, Davina and Joe’s performance has been assessed this year, resulting in them achieving the ‘Advanced’ award and it’s a great example of the continual development we invest in, here at Dawsons.” To be successfully accredited, participants must complete three phases of learning, which begins with four training sessions on the importance of customer service. This is followed by three online seminars covering the Relocation Agent Network Referral Process and how best to help customers who are relocating around the UK. Finally, participants must convert their theoretical learning into a practical skill set by delivering assistance to three relocating customers. By working with fellow members across England, Scotland and Wales, Relocation Agent Network members provide an exclusive relocation referral service to customers. For those relocating to Llanelli, Dawsons guides their customers through the daunting task of moving to an unfamiliar location. This includes local area information on schools and amenities, popular neighbourhoods and (of course) finding the right property for them. As a Relocation Agent Specialist, Matthew ensures that this process is made even smoother. Relocation Agent Network’s Managing Director, Richard Tucker said: “Congratulations to Matthew, Davina and Joe. To be recognised for their performance this year and receive our ‘Advanced’ assessment is truly a fantastic achievement, with only a handful of people across the Network making the grade. “Selected by us to represent the Network in Llanelli, Dawsons has proved themselves to be the area’s Local Expert. So with the addition of an in-house Relocation Agent Specialist, they have gone one step further to provide relocating buyers and sellers with the very best customer service.” CAPTION: L-R Matthew Whitehead, Davina Rowlands and Joe Chiffi
