I'd take GG's recommendation over any random, overly-glowing praise from first time posters anyway.

Oh my

This thread has spectacularly improved my evening and inspired me to post outside family forum for the first time. Poor old EDfan. You screwed up big style didn't you...

Made me laugh out loud though despite chest infection/ tiredness from young baby and row with Mr ACBP ce soir.


Why thank you...every cloud and all that.


That said, the circumstantial evidence is there IMO... And the negative inference there to be drawn.

A big no to ever using Jacksons from me I'm afraid...

Once upon a time there was an East Dulwich estate agent called Osbourne Stewart. Some bright spark at the office thought it would be a good idea to diss Foxtons and big up their own business. The story is retold here in ye EDF archives:

And Osbourne Stewart duly went out of business.


Plus ca change.

Played already giggirl!

Dismal start.

35%

Top points for a house in Haringey though... Jacksons why don't you go and inflict yourselves on N London instead???

Mr ACBP will love that game once out of grump...

He will swiftly become addicted.

As I am to the marvellous stuff that goes on in this forum.

Loving it...

And all because the Jacksons Darren man posted in disguise...quel dommage

I got 60% on the first attempt. Although I might have hoped to do better, I am not discouraged and see the exercise as a reminder that life is a process of continuous improvement.


In that vein, and as a motivated self-starter with a distinguished career in a range of creative industries, including client-facing roles in the marketing sector, I'd like to be the first to welcome Jacksons to the community, and thank them for their kind invitation to meet their team.


Although estate agents get a bad press on this forum, I believe Jacksons are not just an ornament to their profession, but a shining example to community-centred businesspeople everywhere. It is, admittedly, a difficult position to maintain in the current environment, not least because it is no easy task to recruit the best in a world where estate agency, rather than being seen as a rewarding and necessary vocation for those with the requisite talents, is often unfairly disparaged.


But for those such as myself - a proven negotiator with both considerable business acumen, certificates for punctuality, literacy and numeracy and a sound, working knowledge of social media and digital PR - who can see the wood for the trees, Jacksons pre-eminence is more than obvious. It it is just a shame that, for reasons beyond my control, I am currently unable to consider a change of career within the next week. However, I wish them the very best of luck in the future, and look forward to meeting them on Sunday.

Hey - I got 74% on my first attempt - I think I could actually be an estate agent on that basis...


Is that a good or bad thing?


Although it may be in part as I am in the process of moving, so both buying and selling property at the moment. So whilst looking for somewhere to buy, I put a call in to Jacksons to see when they expected to start having stock to view. I have to say that my first impression was that the person I spoke to was very profesional and courteous, and from someone currently outside of area, seemed to very quickly get a handle on what I was looking for. And I have to say that has not been the case with all of the exisiting agents in Dulwich (although equally some have been very good).


So, particularly as I belive we live in a free market where anyone who wants to open a business (within certain limits) and can fund the rents/rates/overhead is free to do so, I welcome Jacksons as a new addition to the area.


But seriously, Jacksons, if you were responsible for the ED Fan comments the best thing you could do would be to fess up, apologise, and start again. Or if not strenuously deny...

    • My bird app just picked up swifts before I heard or saw them!  
    • I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you.

    • Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leon. Very reasonably priced and called out on the same day I contacted him! 
    • ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
