Federation of Independent Agents (FIA) partners with Number 1 Property Recruiters (N1PR)

CANARY WHARF, U.K. - May 13, 2019 - PRLog -- FIA Members will benefit from exclusive recruitment rates

Graham Lock, a former MD at The Property Franchise Group and now founder and Chairman of the newly formed FIA has announced a partnership with up and coming recruitment firm N1PR.

'I'm delighted to be working with Phil Pelucha and the team at N1PR. There has been a severe lack of talent in many parts of the country in recent years and plenty of agents have struggled to recruit the right calibre of staff. Having the right recruitment partner is absolutely crucial and I believe that the dedication, skill and modern approach of N1PR will give FIA members an edge, our corporate style discounts are applied automatically which is a great benefit' Lock said.

Philip Pelucha CEO of N1PR said "I am the CEO of a property media and talent solu- tions network. We support our partners by helping them to attract, retain and be- come the top 10% of their niche across their respective property sectors.

Partnering with Graham and the FIA was a direct result of sharing very similar visions for the future of estate agency and the wider property sector. We work closely with our partners utilising both tried and tested methods, as well as utilising our media network to reach further into the industry. The FIA and it's partners are some of the most highly respected individuals in their field, and combined with our shared passion, vision and focus, this a journey we are thrilled to be part of."

Lock went on to say, 'There are many quality property recruitment firms out there, the decision to partner with N1PR wasn't straight forward but ultimately as with any FIA approved suppler, the product and the terms must be the very best for my members and I'm very much looking forward to working with Phil and his team to help find the best staff for FIA member agents'

About the Federation of Independent Agents

What?

The Federation of Independent Agents has been designed from the ground up, a fresh take on estate agency membership organisations. In the last 5 years the estate agency landscape has evolved but many agents, particularly independents have been left behind.

Who's behind it?

Founder and Chairman of the FIA is Graham Lock. Former Managing Director at The Property Franchise Group who oversaw four traditional estate agency brands that were Whitegates, Parkers, CJ Hole and Ellis & Co.

Why?

Independent agents lack support, buying power and are under pressure from larger groups including franchisees and corporates not to mention the likes of Purple Bricks.

Who can join?

We only allow independent estate agents to join, and only one per town meaning that we create a non-competitive, sharing economy.

How?

You cannot just pay the money and join the FIA, you have to be invited. Before you're invited you must pass our entry exam, member criteria and agree to our terms and conditions including the mandatory use of our inclusive Feefo review account.

Goal?

To create the largest independent estate agency group in the UK, recognised by the general public as including top performing agents in every town.

Benefits?

Each member has access to our custom built, modern and intuitive dashboard. From here the benefits are vast including access to our approved marketplace of around 25 industry suppliers. Hand picked and road tested and then subjected to a group discount which benefits our members far more than their restricted individual buying power.
