Francis James Residential, SW6

Francis-James Residential is a recently reformed Family-run Independent Estate Agent with over 30 years of experience Selling & Letting in Fulham & Hammersmith. We opened our brand new, contemporary-style office on Fulham Palace Road in October 2013 and have immediately re-established our presence here in Fulham after a very successful year. Francis-James Residential was founded by Lee & Julie Wilson in 1984 who opened two offices - one in Parsons Green and one in Hammersmith which successfully ran for many years until Lee Wilson decided to concentrate more on property development, consequently starting up 'Lee Wilson Developments'. After graduating from University in 2008, Francis Wilson, son of Lee Wilson resurrected Francis-James Residential and both Lee & Francis operate from their new, quaint office on Fulham Palace Road, backing on to the Bishops Park Estate, combining both Property development and Estate Agency. "We believe that to be successful amongst some of the larger agents, we need to be competitive as well as having a less aggressive and more honest approach which has proved to be successful for us since re-opening in October 2013. However, that alone would not be enough so we make use of our small team here at Francis-James by giving all of our clients a more focused, personal service and we are extremely competitive with our flat 1% sales and 8% letting rates" (Francis Wilson, Manager) "Everybody knows that the internet has taken over and changed how all the Agents market property now and things are considerably different to when I ran the business 20 years ago. In the 'Old days' our success was built on a hard-working trusted team which my wife and I had, focusing on professionalism and good customer service and so our interaction with people in person and on the phone was pivotal to our approach as an agent. We adopt the same approach today, despite being in a more technological age but we recognise the importance of the internet and so we make sure we operate and advertise on the same portals as our competitors, making us just as able." (Lee Wilson, In-House Property Developer) Everyone here at Francis-James is really looking forward to another successful year Selling & Letting in Fulham as we further enhance our presence as Fulham's most honest Agent!
