David Clark & Company

David Clark & Company has evolved from Osbornes Property Services, founded in 1990, via Clark & Stewart Real Estate Agents to the present day, with highly visible and central premises at 20 Market Place, Ely.

The firm is an independent estate agency owned by David Clark who has been a partner in both of the previous firms. The main focus of this department is residential lettings and management

Memberships are held with the National Association of Estate Agents, Association of Residential Letting Agents – David is a Fellow of the NAEA and member of ARLA – and with the Ombudsman for Estate Agents whose code of practice is approved by the Office of Fair Trading. We have been members since it’s creation and long before membership became compulsory.

In it’s previous styles the firm built a local reputation as a straightforward, honest and pragmatic estate agency and you will find these qualities still present today. Rental properties can be dealt with on a fully managed or 'let-only' basis with realistic fee levels and discounts available for portfolios. We reference all tenants through Homelet or similar organisation and provide inclusive rent guarantee for the first period of the let (no cost to the landlord). An independent company carries out inventory/statement of condition and the 3 monthly inspections.

Whilst we believe traditional values are important we invest in the latest technology to advance home sales. Our office is equipped with the latest in estate agency marketing and sales management software, we maintain a presence on Twitter & Facebook social networking sites, digital telephone systems, high quality colour printers and 42” plasma wall display linked to video or our web site. We developed our first web site in 1996 – well before most of our competitors – and continue to keep closely in touch with evolving technologies. SMS text messaging to mobiles and e-mail alerts were introduced some time ago and continue to be very effective marketing tools. Our dedicated PR company PropertyPR is run by media professional Eric Dixon and he is often able to secure us national coverage in such newspapers as The Telegraph, The Times and Sunday Times for suitable homes. Each property is marketed with the inclusion of floorplans and high resolution photography. The latest addition is a monthly newsletter with comment on the rental and sales market, interesting articles on property related matters and our 'Recipe of the Month'!

More business comes to us by personal recommendation than any other route. If you are thinking about letting your home ask a friend who they got on well with. We’re confident our name will come up!
