Something Fast, 100 up.
Dear Blog Readers,
It has become a brilliant business to run here at Meyers Estates. After my little three year old son Oliver fed the ducks and then went to the library today before nursery, I was at home to give him a kiss and a cuddle and send him on his way.
Earlier, at 7.00am, I left the house to put up two sold boards, one in James Road in Dorchester, sold in less than a week for just about the asking price and one on Preston Road in Weymouth that sold for above the asking price. Not a bad start to the day, that along with three for sale boards too. I did four sold boards last Sunday too!
On the drive through the countryside, the Dorset mist, creeping through the Wintry trees and the sullen faces waiting at bus stops for their trip to work, it is clear that I am very, very lucky to have control of my own world and my own business with Claire. No forcing myself up to work, no long commute, no boss!
It helps we do not charge high fees, no reason to feel guilty as only the purest advice is always given, extra money is left for for our clients in their own hands as we are about £2000 cheaper at least than average estate agency once all the costs are configured. No massive Audi in our drive, just two low cost Fiat 500's.
We give £100 per sale to good causes. £3500 raised so far just in the last few months alone for Julias House, Weldmar, RNLI and Bridport TLC who are our nominated charities, all of hich we hope to have credited much more to by the end of 2012.
Meyers Estate Agents have 100 properties on our books and with 37% of stock sold at this moment, all remotely, this internet agency has a definite future through Dorset, and for our community.
I see the old Estate Agency model as 'Fuedal Esate Agency' where each state agent aggressively defends a small 'patch' or town, sticking leaflets in each opposing agents clients letter boxes, knocking on their doors, aggressive and inconsiderate tactics. Not great if you are a customer all that over valuing, pestering and junk mail.
I am glad to say that nearly all the past instrcutions have come purely from our reputation as a high quality low cost, hard working 24/7 alternative.
There's time for the kids, time for the business, time for the customer, time for us and time to look for some more staff!
We're expanding. There will be no stopping Meyers Estate Agents now!
We will be seeing you around soon!
Mark & Claire Meyer
