DNG Flanagan Ford continue to achieve results in the midst of Covid-19
DNG Flanagan Ford announced via their social media channels and their website the closure of their office on Monday 16 th March. Similar to many other businesses in Sligo and around the country, they felt compelled to do so in the wake of the Covid-19 situation, in order to protect their staff & clients. However, there has been no drop in service as even though the front door of Shell House is closed, the business remains firmly open.
Shane Flanagan, Director, commented ‘As a successful and well established firm, we are continuously looking at any potential threat to business in an effort to be ever ready to put in place systems and operations to keep our business performing in challenging times. The current Covid-19 situation is no different. Prior to announcing that the door of our office was to close, we already had in place remote access for our staff, cloud based CRM systems & a host of other systems that allowed an almost seamless transition to the ‘new normal’ work environment. I would like to commend our IT specialists Compupac at this stage for the excellent service which they provided to us for this remote set up & for their ongoing support & expertise.’
‘All of our staff are continuing to work full time hours, providing a service second to none to our clients & this service is what our reputation is based upon. As a result, although these are extremely challenging times, we have recorded some very good activity since our announcement to close our doors. At the time of going to press, we have Sale Agreed 5 properties for our vendors; we have Completed Sales on 4 other properties for our vendors; we have launched New To The Market 6 properties for our vendors; & we continue to negotiate on other properties with bidders & vendors.’
A selection of properties launched to the market this week by DNG Flanagan Ford are investment properties at Clarion Village & The Grove, all of which are student accommodation apartments, priced from €70,000 to €85,000. Each of these properties have strong rental returns. There is also a selection of family home properties recently placed for the sale. Carrowdurneen, Skreen is a superior, almost 3,000sqft, 4 bedroom house set on 2acres of landscaped gardens with a guide price of €330,000. 79 Knocknaganny Park is a 3 bedroom semi detached house in very good condition & close to Sligo town centre, this property has a guide price of €165,000. 1 Baile an Cnoic, Dromore West is a 4 bedroom semi detached home close to the heart of Dromore West village, & is on the market with a guide price of €85,000.
Shane continued ‘I can’t deny that the lead up to this & the ongoing situation is causing us great anxiety, however we are up for the challenge & intend to continue to work as hard as we can for all of our clients throughout this trying time. Our rentals department are continuing to liaise with tenants & landlords regarding the evolving situation, & we also continue to take on new business in terms of valuations, sales appraisals & rental opportunities.’
‘We would like to thank our loyal clients for their ongoing support at all times & particularly in the current crisis, without them the picture would be a lot bleaker. We encourage all to support as many local businesses as possible as we all move thought this situation together. We look forward to being back to normal as soon as possible. In the meantime all of our properties are displayed on line & via our social media channels. We would encourage potential buyers, potential sellers & landlords to contact us for expert advice, & can assure them of our renowned service at all times.’
