We have been inviting RICS members to let us know how and why they use RICS as a promotional tool in their everyday business, so here’s what some of your local colleagues have to say:
'The benefits of the RICS logo to companies are substantial. The logo exemplifies professionalism in the property and construction industry worldwide.’
Charles Blincow FRICS, Parsons International Ltd, Dubai, UAE
‘We use the RICS logo on all stationery as this gives instant recognition of the professionalism we strive to deliver. Increasing awareness of RICS and it’s logo has given us a competitive edge and also instils confidence in our clients.’
Noel Larkin ASCS MRICS, Noel Larkin & Associates, Republic of Ireland
‘I use the RICS logo both on our website and business cards. We found it to be very beneficial in two ways:
1.UK/US clients recognize the logo and it gives them more confidence.
2.Local clients in general don’t know what RICS stands for and often ask what it is. This gives us the opportunity to explain what RICS is about and what it is that makes members of the RICS different from other surveyors.’
Peter de Groot MRICS, MODUS EXPERT, Brussels
‘We are very proud to count 23 chartered surveyors in our company: it’s the best guarantee to offer quality service to our partners and clients, that means a real difference between our competitors and us.’
Alain Bechade, president of ATIS REAL Auguste-Thouard, France
‘Our clients in Europe and Asia take comfort in the knowledge that they are dealing with RICS-credentialed real estate professionals. They place significant importance on ethics, standards and our understanding of both national and international matters that can impact a real estate transaction.’
Damien Moore MRICS, Managing Director, ProJetCorp Realty Inc. Toronto, Canada
‘I want to promote the membership of RICS to other professionals in the market and with the use of the logo I make a consistent statement.’
Martijn Burghout MRICS, Freeland Partners, Rotterdam
