Olympics Are Here, Where Are We?

Ok, so the Olympics are here and the phone's gone from being red hot for months to stone dead all day today, allowing time for a quick bit of script for the blog. I expect the property market nationally will suffer slightly as people turn on to the sport and turn off to moving for a couple of weeks.

After watching the open ceremony last night, clearly that the UK means business hosting these games and I was mighty impressed. Weymouth appears prepared for the games and with all the flags fluttering away and lots of foreign cars buzzing about, its unclear quite what to expect from the town over the next few weeks in terms of traffic, fun and brilliant events but lets hope the sun shines for everyone and they see the best of what we have here.

This brief moment for reflection, half way through the year and approximately nine months after Claire and I launched Meyers Estate Agents, I think that we must have donated about £5000 to charity so far, as well as presently preparing the next set of donations to Weldmar, RNLI and Air Ambulance which are now set for another cash boost from Meyers Estates.

It makes me really proud to be able to run a business that is not lusting for as much money as possible for ourselves but only the best for the people that come into contact with our services. That in turn, has simply created a bustling and rewarding work for us while doing what we do best and making money for good causes.

 

We have recently doubled our company car numbers adding a red scripted Fiat 500 to our fleet, and doubled our staff as well as incorporating two further contracted staff members that take the tally to six within less than a year after setting off on our journey with Simon 'Beano' Jeanes and Helen Harding joining the business, both with brilliant experience to offer the brand and the customers. Welcome to both.

We have also managed to hit the next Meyers Estate Agents target of 125 properties. Actually on the property portfolio we have over 130 properties for sale and about 30% of our stock sold stc. Our first £1,000,000 plus property was added in July, a beautiful barn conversion near Shaftesbury with reasonable acreage. An excellent milestone. If you like houses then have a look online.

At the end of June we hit the top with a sales result of 19 properties sold in the month its been a great spring for the property market with good quality business for those who have tried hard enough to find it!

Quick congratulations to Paul Wash and Leila on the birth of Lennon recently. Paul who is a director of Sands Associates Poundbury has been a massive influence on our success and reputation since we started up and his constant support for our clients has been brilliant. Thanks Washy we owe you a salmon salad or two...!

 

In short, business has been brilliant since we opened and we have kept our 24/7, 0.75% promise through the whole, amazing start up period and now we are settling into a good routine. The Olympics will take the wind out of the sails for a week or two but with high sales volumes, its clear that the market, underneath the surface is keen as ever as long as pricing is sensible.

 

It helps that we live in such a beautiful place, countryside and sea all here and London just a short train ride away should you need it. Who wouldn't want to live here after all.
