League of their own?

It has been a very interesting and brilliant last week or so here at Meyers Estate Agents.

I have been out every day and late into several evenings on appointments in Weymouth and Dorchester as Meyers Estate Agents opens up into our local market place. It seems that everyone thinks that there is a place for us, a lower price, high quality on line estate agency in our local area.

The big vision, Meyers Estate Agents as one whole Dorset applicant base and property base, all the applicants looking in Dorset, slowly gathers an early pace as we have taken a record number of applicants this week and our proeprty portfolio gains momentum.

We have instructed eight properties in the last seven days. Not a bad week for a business with barely any marketing at all.

Although we have now 23 proeprties instructed into Meyers Estate Agents, there are quite a few that are waiting for the previous estate agency contract to expire and so they are not showing on our site yet. We have now more property in Weymouth than anywhere else, other areas we have property, Wool, Poole and last week four new properties in Dorchester. Today (Sunday) we were working over in Wareham direction and for the latter part of the day towards Bridport.

Sunday, no rest for the wicked, several applicants registered, one new instruction. All other estate agents CLOSED, and us, yes just 0.75% and NO VAT and still working hard at 20.32pm with Claire typing up three properties as I speak now the children have gone to bed.

Worrying trend, many of our vendors are moving out of the market or down in the market, so are the banks going to relax the mortgage qualification rules? They better do or they may be trouble.There are not enough first time buyers out there and although we have only one sold property we are in that tricky state of having at least 2 other sales which are dependant on our potential buyers selling their own and its all systems slow at their end.

We have expended our marketing to a constantly updating Meyers Estates stream through Twitter and Facebook to enlarge our audience and publish our new properties and updates.
