LEE DAVIES REAL ESTATE OPENS DOWNTOWN OFFICE
While the real estate market has suffered, homes sales are down, and large companies such as ReMax and John L. Scott are consolidating offices, Lee Davies Real Estate sees the opportunity ripe for expansion. “It was not our intention to expand so early on, but, between our sales success and a unique window of opportunity to enter the downtown niche market, we have determined there may never be a better time to grow than now”, says Lee Davies.
Opening a second office in the Downtown market to better cater to Portland Heights, the Alphabet District, and the Pearl District, was always in our 3-5 year plan, but with Hasson Company’s recent decision to close their 17 year old office in the Uptown Shopping Center on NW 23rd Place, the opportunity could not be more enticing to seize the opening. There are three remaining players in the city market, all of which are large firms and none west of NW 23rd. As a result, LDRE will be opening a beautiful boutique office at the Uptown Shopping Center adjacent to the former Hasson location and the Westerly.
The Lee Davies Real Estate boutique model will appeal to a distinct niche of buyers and sellers who prefer a “hands on” locally-owned firm. The beauty of this location for our clients, as well as our economies of scale, is that our present marketing and advertising program already reaches this audience. However, city and heights dwellers prefer working with a Realtor with a “bricks and mortar” location in their immediate community, and now LDRE will be in the neighborhood.
In addition to the locally owned boutique appeal, the innovative Lee Davies Real Estate model provides each client with a Lead Broker and up to two supporting brokers to ensure the customer always has a point of contact available seven days a week who is actively familiar with their business. The model also dictates that the same high quality marketing and advertising plan be implemented on each home to ensure that all clients receive a consistent standard of excellence when it comes to how their home is presented and they are represented.
The new office will be open on August 3rd, 2009. We welcome you to stop in for a visit.
