So you are an Estate Agent without a shop. The OP said you were an online only estate agent, hence the confusion.

I have bought and sold houses before without ever having been to an estate agent's shop.

Maybe you should call yourselves "No Shops" instead of "No Flies" ;)

Given the additonal info I cant see that you are much different from a normal estate agent excpet that you are significantly cheaper. Good luck!

I don't think you've got the hang of this, katanita. It should go something like:

"Having tried many of the established estate agencies in East Dulwich, I was left feeling crushed and devalued. Finally I found No Flies agency - they were like a breath of fresh air, and they really valued me as a client and as a person."

[katanita]

Dammmmmnn. You're quite right. And I should be using this post to get all defensive about my true identity as one of the directors of No Flies and accuse everyone of pursuing personal vendettas.

I'll get it right next time, promise, and remember to add the requisite telltale spelling mistakes and bizarre punctuation.

If I were ever to sell-up there would be nobody in the running except for Brendan. I thought "estate agent with integrity" was an oxymoron before meeting him. If you search for "No Flies" on the EDF then you will find plenty of recommendations from satisfied customers and I predict many more to come. Yes, they face challenges in the future but who doesn't.

katanita, we probably need a crib sheet page of forum in jokes.....

[katanita]

A good idea. Although I'm very familiar with that classic thread already. Amazing.

my bad, I thought you were being snippy, not getting in the spirit of things :)

knee jerk reaction to 7 years of overly sensitive folk with green ink!!! (cripes has it been that long!?!?!)

[Jeremy]

I was actually getting confused between The Vale and the Osbourne Stewart threads.

[katanita]

Oh. No, I thought I was just continuing the joke!

Re-reading that thread, so many Forumites of yesteryear.

So many that seemed to go just a bit potty and got themselves banned or, just flounced off.

But they were happy times.

He was around in March 2009, received a PM from him...

[El Pibe]

mcg was an oddbod. actually a nice enough fella who could contribute to a debate, but a short fuse, terrible bass youtube uploads, and some very big shoulder-based chips were his undoing.

...that and the concerted campaign enlisting hackers to break the forum with DoS attacks and the like....

[red devil]

Didn't he end up on the Sydenham Forum?

Who'd have thought he was ahead of the curve... ;-)

You're my best friend now Mick...

[Mick Mac]

Eeek.

They are advertising on the forum on the left-hand side banner, the name makes more sense - very clever. I've only ever heard good things about them too and I think they way they respond to queries on the forum is excellent.

Sadly, I'm old enough to remember when Virgin Records first opened for business (70s). That seemed like an outrageous name at the time but these days nobody bats an eyelid at an odd moniker (Orange, Apple, O2, Smeg, R Soles, Yahoo, Google, Flickr). Odd.

I saw this house a few doors down from me with pieces of wood all over the door and window which had the word 'infected' on each of them. Is it a new estate agent?

No, that is street art.
