Trim auctioneers shortlisted in Sherry FitzGerald awards

Sherry FitzGerald Royal in Trim was one of the four Leinster nominees in the 2009 Sherry FitzGerald Franchise of the Year awards held in Dublin recently. The Sherry FitzGerald Franchise of the Year Awards is an annual event where over 90 franchised offices are benchmarked on their standards of service, business acumen and professionalism. The awards are designed to maintain a consistency of high standards throughout the network. As part of the Sherry FitzGerald Group, the award winners were credited with delivering on the promise of the Sherry FitzGerald brand and doing 'whatever it takes" to bring suitable sellers and buyers together. Ian McCarthy, managing director of Sherry FitzGerald Countrywide, noted that the standards this year were the highest ever and this was due to the tougher market conditions that demands superior standards of service. Celene Heffernan of Sherry Fitzgerald Royal commented: 'In this market, we know we have to go that extra mile to find a suitable property for our buyers and get a sale through to closing for our sellers. Our intention is to continue to lead the market in Trim to provide a quality service and deliver real value for money to vendors and purchasers alike.' Ian McCarthy said: 'Over the past number of years, given the hectic pace of the market, there is no doubt that service levels to customers were impacted. In Sherry FitzGerald, we have always and will continue to train our people to focus on the customer and their needs. This awards process is just one aspect of our in-house training and standards in practice process.' Sherry FitzGerald Royal is part of the Sherry FitzGerald Group.
