When chatting with David over a mug of Ringtons and a blueberry muffin he was telling me about the 'interesting' calls they get from other estate agents, eager to keep a note on their prices and marketing campaigns.
'They call up pretending to be potential clients, requesting information, prices and how we market our properties', David advised. 'You can tell straight away it's another agent, by their questioning, some even put on phony accents, they end up sounding like Dick van Dyke in Mary Poppins. Plus they normally decline to leave a contact number, e-mail or even their name'.
Smiling, David told me, 'The ladies are no better, we had a call from a well known estate agent in Elgin', winking his eye as a clue to her identity. 'I believe we've had all our competitors call us now, they're certainly not in the league of Bobby Davro.....'
It seems by shaking up the property market with their fixed pricing for both property sales and rentals and their great marketing campaigns, Moray Property have their competitors worried - And rightly so.
Keep practicing the accents people, you never know when a career as an impressionist beckons....
Until the next time,
Mr Jackson.
