Stoneleigh park homes exhibition review
Despite the main attraction of the show being Prestige’s Grand Symphony, the largest park home ever to be featured in-situ at an event, the Quick Move Properties stand proved just as popular, becoming a meeting point for vendors and industry experts alike.
This show had a higher footfall than April’s National Parks and Holiday Homes show in Peterborough (including more park home vendors than before) and saw a higher level of part exchange enquiries from park home operators and manufacturers. The overall level of visits to the stand and requests for part exchange at both shows has really demonstrated to us Quick Move Properties’ position as a cornerstone of the industry.
The flow of visits from park home friends was never-ending and there wasn’t a moment spare for Karen and Ricky due to a flurry of introductions by clients eager for colleagues to meet them and keen to discuss new part exchange cases.
The team particularly enjoyed catching up with Silvano Geranio and Mac Oxley of Prestige Park & Leisure Homes, Susan White of Wessex Park & Leisure Homes, Lulu Emersic of Key Parks, Amy Dangerfield and Peter Berwick of Homeseeker Homes and Peter Leary and Dean Westmoreland of Omar Homes, to name only a few.
Most rewarding for Ricky and Karen was the chance to hear feedback on their service first-hand. The main message from park home operators and manufacturers was that they benefit from the hassle-free nature of Quick Move Properties part exchange and enjoy increased sales because of it! Visitors to the stand also commented that most of their buyers have an existing property to sell and so part exchange is invaluable, making a real difference to their sales figures.
It was also brilliant for the team to meet vendors investigating part exchange. Perhaps due to the sunshine, there were more vendors at the show on the Saturday than on the Friday or Sunday. Ricky and Karen were delighted to spend time with them, explaining the process and highlighting how the service can help them buy a park home. They also gleaned some interesting information about the vendors’ situations and house selling attempts within a difficult property market:
- One vendor was trying to sell his second home in Ipswich in order to buy a park home. Despite employing six different estate agents, he could not find a buyer for the property and approached Quick Move Properties at the show so that he could guarantee a sale.
- Another vendor owned a large property in Newquay that was surrounded by quarter of an acre of land. After a price reduction of £115,000, he still couldn’t sell the house so he asked the team about part exchange and was excited about the chance to secure a buyer and start enjoying park home life.
- A third vendor needed to sell her four-bedroom detached house in Wrexham quickly and secure her dream park home. Instead of waiting on the unpredictable open market, she decided to enquire about part exchange and was inspired by the efficient, reliable service available to her.
Amidst all these media meetings, advice-giving sessions and part exchange discussions, Karen and Ricky found a little bit of time to accept invites to park home tours. The trip wouldn’t have been complete without taking a look around Prestige’s Grand Symphony and seeing for themselves the park home everyone had been enthusing about all day!
Karen Burke, Sales and Marketing Manager at Quick Move Properties, gave her thoughts on the weekend: “The Stoneleigh show had a real buzz about it - Saturday and Sunday were particularly busy. It was a fantastic opportunity for us to socialise with our park home friends and meet new people too. I find it rewarding to be able to offer a guaranteed part exchange service that benefits so many companies within the park home industry. Following the busy weekend, there was a lot of work to do, including making offers to vendors who had requested part exchange and contacting park home operators and manufacturers who had asked to learn more about the free training and sales material on offer.”
