Sam's Word 7: Over the hill

We're in red, white and blue...

When you are, like us, a comparatively new agency (two years old) built on the foundation stones of two much longer established businesses with strong reputations, every step forward means a lot.

One of our most recent steps forward was over a hill. As you leave Orpington and drive up past the railway station, it was possible recently to see a "Edward Ashdale: For Sale" sign at the roadside. Now it is equally possible to see an "Edward Ashdale: sold" sign in the same spot. This is one of the properties we have dealt with that is further out than usual. Why? Because the word is spreading that we are good at what we do.

The word is spreading also because of things like a recent experience we had when talking with a homeowner about possibly selling his property for him. We were appointed over two larger estate agent chains, which was a real mark of respect and trust by the homeowner. He told us afterwards that it was our passion for the service we would deliver to him, that meant we would leave no stone unturned to do a great job for him, that made the difference. We are already doing all we can to reward his trust. That is what you get when you work with a values-driven business like ours that takes pride in delivering a great service.
