Fifty posts, Cake, and a Manifesto for an Estate Agent

This is the 50th blog post since Edward Ashdale Estate Agents was founded and we can reflect on a lot of writing during over two years of serving many people across South East London and beyond. We deserve a bit of cake, and yes, we made this one. It disappeared very rapidly probably back around post 20 or so. So, let us reflect on cake and more, and come to our little Manifesto for an Estate Agent.


We've won an award in that time, though to be fair the one below was for golf. 


The golf winner was one of our Directors, Sam Samuel. For some reason he's the only one of our partners who has been caricatured....
 Derrick from the Tulse Hill office escaped...


 So did Director John Campolini. So far... 



John Adamthwaite, also a partner, is another to have fled the artistic scene... 


Yet we have done our bit in the local community, as shown below with the Tulse Hill Community Market, and we're not stopping...



We've doggedly just carried on making sure our clients are happy...


We've revisited the cake theme and got some attention from the press, even though they didn't get any cake (sorry, guys)...


We've certainly proved we don't take the biscuit and we're no mugs...


Oh yes, let's not forget that Manifesto.  Perhaps Manifesto is going too far, but what we're saying is we'd like all estate agents to be a bit like us, as we're worth using.

Why?

- We’re 21st Century Estate Agents with old-fashioned values. As the foregoing might suggest, we have a sense of humour too;

- That means we really do live up to our values:

- Passion to do a great job. That is why we enjoy taking people on 100% accompanied viewings. Not all estate agents do this, but we believe it is a way we can show people we really care;

- Pride in our professionalism, getting things right for our clients. That is why, unlike many estate agents, we use professional photographers to show the homes we sell or let in their best possible light;

- Friendliness. We enjoy our work and its shows in the way we are, with everyone;

- Innovation. Old-fashioned values doesn’t mean an out of date service. We use the latest IT tools and social media where they help us to help our clients.  

Also:

- We know our patch. We cover offices in the South East London and Kent from our two offices and we are constantly out and about. We believe in helping the community we’re part of and we enjoy helping out local schools. In Tulse Hill, our encouragement and sponsorship has helped to get a very special community market created by young people up and running

- We show off the properties we have for sale or let really well, using our website and our advertising on all major property search portals including Rightmove and Zoopla. The colour professional photographs and detailed floor plans we provide are a real asset

- Free EPC* (Energy Performance Certificate) – No up front costs

That just leaves us to say, if you're thinking of moving and have read this far, please call 020 8466 8445 to book your FREE MARKET APPRAISAL!
