Positive News!

In line with my philosophy of not being negative (realistic but not negative!) I have good news to report on the month of October 2008.

· Sellers becoming realistic about asking / selling prices.
· Persistent, but not harassing, sales techniques.
· First time buyers being encouraged to buy by attainable lower prices.
· A mortgage service from Independent Financial Advisers, Bright Mortgage Advice that’s second to none.

If anyone reading this would like to benefit from our approach to selling homes then please call us or call in at Market Place – we’d love to help you move!

Ah, you might say, but house prices were so much cheaper then. True but my salary was just under £2,000 per annum with the prospect of perhaps another £1,000 in commission from selling at lease 6 houses per month personally. The first 4 didn't count towards commission but were to cover my costs to my employer! I personally don't think 95% mortgages are ...
