The nation press and all the statistic offices all say the
market is on the up and I am pleased to confirm that from our own performance
so far in August I would agree with them. August is traditionally a slower time
for sales but this year the first 2 weeks have pretty much kept pace with the
previous quarter which was very good. We had our Managers Area Meetings
yesterday and the office updates from Penzance to Taunton were positive with
most offices reporting serious buyers about but Managers still made the point
that price is still critical and we are not yet at a point where sellers can
try a bit higher to see what comes. If you want to sell then price the property
correctly and there is a buyer for it. Too high and you will be waiting a very
long time still.
The Eastern Region Meeting was interesting as we had the BBC
cameras in the meeting as part of the documentary series they are making on
Estate Agents and I was very pleased to see everyone looking their best. Until
the program comes out we won't know how we are being relayed as with several
hours filming being condensed into a couple of minutes I imagine we could be
made to look however the producer wants us to look.
I am very proud of our high
professional standards and the fact that yesterday I was able to present
bottles of bubbly to 2 of our Managers who finished in the top 10 of the
allAgents review site customer satisfaction awards was very gratifying, and
when you realise that was awarded from 21,000 agents then it goes to prove the
high quality of the people who work for Bradleys. With the company awards being
announced next month I have my fingers crossed for that as well.
