The UK’s first 24/7 home-based agency, Meyers Estate Agents, is expanding into Somerset. The award-winning agency set up ten years ago, from founder Mark Meyer and his wife Claire’s Dorset garage, now has nine successful franchisees across the region and is recruiting nationally.

Mark Meyer, principal, Meyers Estate Agents explains: “Taking advantage of the latest technology combined with the low overheads achieved by moving away from the high street, offers a robust and resilient business model. We help property owners sell fast through local knowledge, great marketing and digital channels. Over the past decade, we have carefully developed and piloted the agile Meyers concept, moving it beyond all expectations.

“I’m pleased to confirm that Sara Benham will now manage Meyers’ mid-Somerset territory. Sara’s previous experience as an estate agent and the strength of her local connections will ensure she is well placed to take advantage of some of the most buoyant property market conditions we have ever seen to offer houses for sale in Street, Glastonbury, Wells and Shepton Mallet.”

Sara Benham confirms: “I ran my own online agency for four years and previously worked as an agent for Purplebricks and before that as a manager for a Countrywide high street branch. I’ve now chosen to make the move to Meyers because the franchise includes all the best elements from the traditional model without the unnecessary trappings of a high-street location. It’s also a family business with strong ethics and values centred around a personal approach, which looks after both sellers and buyers equally and this really appealed to me.

“The tools and training provided, including the 21-step selling system is second to none and the same methodical approach is applied to building business in each territory. After a tough year, I’m now really excited to be joining Meyers working back in an area of Somerset I know and love.”

Mark Meyer, principal, Meyers Estate Agents continues: “Having personally been a leading agent in the Somerset area for a few years at a previous firm, I’m now looking forward to having our own Meyers agent cover the region. We are delighted to welcome Sara and look forward to supporting her on her journey with Meyers.

“We are currently recruiting for franchisees across the UK who are looking for a new and better way to build a sustainable business and hoping to achieve a more sensible work-life balance at the same time. We are looking for people-people with strong local links within their communities and those that want to put customers and their local relationships at the heart of everything they do.”
