Knight Frank agent waives sales fee to support charity Kilimanjaro climb
Eye fell off a chair this week when news of an estate agent waiving their fee reached the office. Knight Frank partner Ross Davies has offered to waive his sales fee of up to £20,000 as a prize in a silent auction that is raising funds for a team of women climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.
The fee being waived is equivalent to an agent’s fee for a £1.2m property – or a pretty standard house price in Royal Tunbridge Wells where Davies is based.
The climbing team led by MP Tracey Crouch are raising money for a breast cancer screening machine, which costs £100,000, in aid of Breast Cancer Kent.
Bidders can win the fee waiver and other prizes including Wimbledon, Twickenham, Formula E and The Open tickets, a sleepover at the Big Cat Sanctuary and a celebrity concierge service for a year via ww2.emma-live.com/ MountKilimanjaroClimb.
Going a step further to aid the team, self-professed ‘Kent Property King’ Davies hosted a high-stakes Monopoly games evening, which he himself won, raising more than £4,500 in the process. His tip? Invest in property and don’t flash the cash too early.
Savills has added to its building and project consultancy (BPC) team with the appointment of Paul Love, who joins as a director in the firm’s Cardiff office.
