Well what next. Welcome to the brave new world with Mr Trump! I was half thinking if a reality TV star can win the USA presidency maybe I should apply for X-Factor even though I sing like a scared cat!
So we thought Brexit was scary, and then the US Election happened, and then news that on-line estate agents are putting their fees up! What next!!
Well the latter is clearly only bad news for those who use online estate agents and believe the local estate agent is a thing of the past.
At urban base we have always strongly believed the future in estate agency has to continue to be driven by excellent customer-service just as it was done in the 1900s, and now the 21st century. This was reiterated by City investors last week at a property seminar in London.
It was enforced there is absolutely a place and need for the latest online technology, but this has to be combined and enhanced with great local knowledge and high-street customer-service.
We believe our clients want their properties to be seen by a wide audience of potential buyers and tenants, and the internet allows this by displaying our property brochures on as many online portals as required to maximise the awareness of their properties to the market.
We also believe local knowledge, support and the customer journey offered by local agents, provides a more enjoyable transaction in what can be a very stressful time.
The future; Ed Balls to win Strictly, and Boris to present Bake-Off. Well who knows what could happen…though we understand Farage may be in high demand to do pantomime this year. Oh yes he is…
