Can you recommend an Estate Agent?

Alistair,


I appreciate your efforts to market the property but the bad taste lingers, it has delayed our sale by weeks.


Such was the lack of proactivity that the concept of reducing the price, or indeed doing anything differently to try to stimulate viewings, was at no point suggested by the KFH team.


We were forced to reduce the price as a result of KFH's overvaluation.


Best regards

Spencer Kennedy gave me a bottle of chilled champagne when I bought through them. Real French stuff too. None of your Aldi Lambrusco. In my small, low rent, easily influenced mind, that makes them clearly the best estate agent in the area. For now anyway.


Currently I'm having a very good selling/regular comms/on the ball experience with the team Winkworth. When the market fell off a cliff in 2008-2010 and others packed up, Winkworth with their slightly posher name, serif font and dynamic duo carried on. Often til 9pm some nights eating custard creams, jam sandwiches and making calls. They get maximum business respect for their recessionary work ethic. Haart on the other hand only had digestives and Kia-Ora so they're no good.


Foxtons are stuck in the 1980's with their coke, Perrier and giant all glass c&^! aquarium. Despite that, their equally loathsome private equity backers stand to make a profit on their upcoming IPO - but not from East Dulwich. Their current 0% deal is only on in desperation at their poorest performing branches. Which tells you all you need to know.

    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's.
