This is me not paying attention to the burning thing in my hand
And here is our little sign (thank you Mr Lake)
In other news this weekend check out our new advert in the Oxfordshire Property Weekly The print edition asks Landlords "Who is paying for the fancy offices?" Of course its both Landlords and Tenants. Those high street premises, comfy chairs and LCD displays don't come cheap and they are paid for by charging you upwards of 12% of your rent per calendar month.
Of course we can take the mickey out of mainstream agents because we know that the internet is the future of estate agency and lettings which is why we spend our money on the web and in flexible technology to enable you to contact us wherever and whenever you need us.
The majority of good tenants work in 9 to 5 jobs and don't have time to trawl around the high street during office hours; they trawl the net instead.
Last month www.bdea.co.uk had 1,239 unique visitors and 63,836 hits. That's just our own website: thousands more see our property adverts on Rightmove Property Finder and Letting Zone. We would never have that many people visit our office in person and neither does any of the traditional agents.
So why the expensive shopfronts? Ask your agent, watch him splutter then call us 01235 524800 or click on www.bdea.co.uk
