Having read the thread on the Morrocan property forum about the connection between these two companies and various denials, I was surprised to receive in the post my pack regarding St Lucia from Carol Vorderman Overseas Homes today. The accompanying letter, printed on CVOH letterhead states:

"Thank you for contacting The Superior Group regarding purchasing property in St Lucia I am pleased to inform you that we are an independent agent on the island with a vast collection of property to suit everyone, with a selection of apartments, townhouses and villas on carefully selected developments. Whether you want to be on golf, beach, marina or slightly off the beaten track, Superior are here to help you find your dream home ... If you require further information or have any questions at this stage, please feel free to contact me directly on XXX or email me at XXX@superiorgb.com"

Well this clearly shows that they are one and the same company.

Nice properties though.

that's funny, really funny.

LMAO. I wonder if they will still deny they are one and the same?

Grimreaper, its over to you..................

Hey Clibbens. Id love to see a copy of that. Can you post a pdf. perhaps?

hope this works ...

Letter from CVOH May 2008.pdf (496.1 KB, 49 views)

I have been reading this thread and I was wondering if anyone has considered that non of this matters at all. It could be that Carol Vorderman owns The Superior Group because the Registered Office on her company headed notepaper is the old Superior Real Estate Group Address.

The whole issue here is that the owners of CVOSH flatly denied having anything to do with superior group, a company that has gone into administration owing a lot of people a lot of money, and also leaving a lot of buyers with no agency protection, or service.

I wonder if the author of the letter might like to reply to clear up the matter? After all he is a senior advisor...

I, I, I, I, me, me, me, me....just joking JB youre all right really!

reminiscing..

I think most of the people involved with this particular string are ex employees, not that that is a bad thing really as they are probably the only ones that are able to give the honest answers...GrimeReaper being the exception it would appear.
I myself have had dealings with the Superior Group in various capacities and can probably enlighten regarding various questions, but don't take that as an admittance of any collaboration, just more of a "spill the beans" scenario

Hi
interested to know if you would rate superior as a sales organisation?
Did they sell a lot of property directly through their sales team?

was it all about inspection trips or did advisors know their stuff?

the staff at superior group were highly trained, and were known as being amongst the best in the industry..we also had overseas offices in Spain, Morocco and Florida, all with highly regarded staff. Having the overseas staff meant we could be updated immediately on changes and new information.

apart from being very well trained, we were also very well paid, and the "inner core" were all known to be efficient closers, because the majority of us were were property owners, and had invested ourselves in the overseas market.

as well as sending clients on inspection trips we would sell many units "unseen" either by phone or at exhibitions. We didnt have the biggest stand at PITS so we could hand out brochures...

I think the main problem we ran into as highly trained, motivated staff, was a lack of clear and truthful information from developers/owners who paid our wages.

Saying that we were sales advisors, and as such it was always our job to shine the light on our own product...but thats the job of every sales person worldwide..everybody from the painter to the priest is selling something..but I can tell you that on the sales floor we were (and still are) a good bunch who liked to use the truth, and real facts and figures in our efforts to bring home the bacon.

I am in contact with a lot of my bought clients, and I hope that the vast majority are happy with what they bought..for the record I sold

Spain
Portugal
Morocco
Turkey
Egypt

A telling insight is that although when Soops went into administration, it did so leaving me, and a lot of my friends, severely out of pocket, I will always look back on the time I spent there with fond memories..and that is because of the staff that were employed there.

the following list is missing some big names, because my memory is selective, so sorry if I left you off..its not in any order either, so no favourites, im not cliquey..

the reason your name is here is that you made me laugh, or I spent many an hour laughing about you...it may just bring a smile to your face seeing us all listed together again!
