Eggs + letting advice

[MISSYJ]

Hi Guys,

I know you all probably experienced in what you do but I am just
starting out and would like to ask whats the best place to advertise for
Landlords and to get properties on to your books ? I have just started to
advertise in my local papers I have no problems finding Tenants but to find
properties it seems to be taking long with no response I have searched certain
sites I know I have to keep advertising, but just to get that initial kick start if
any of you can help your advice,help welcomed

If you do not mind sharing some of your tips I would be grateful as I aim
to make it work and I am rarrrrrrring to go everything else is in place


Many Thanks,
Missy

[glantisant]

Erics right you did post the same last week. You're the 10 per cent lady!

I don't want to be mean or start missy bashing - but from your q's you present as the Darren Lamb of the rental agent business!!!

[MISSYJ]

your so funny!!! oviously not mature

[Colincbayley]

It seems that attracting business is the problem. As a new venture you will have to prove yourself to better and cheaper than the competition.
In the current climate you will need a VERY large advertising budget or be very lucky.

People buy services on price but then expect the best service, as a new venture you will have to offer BOTH for at least the first year.

Good Luck.

Colin you are just too nice sometimes.

[johnboy]

Try 5% for the first 3-6 months 3-4 inpections a year and no set-up fee's. Stick a ad in the paper I'm sure that will appeal to some of the tighter landlords.

Now, now! Comments like that will distroy my image !

oviously not mature


oviously not!!!!

[jeffrey]

oviously not!!!!

"Ovious"? Is that "egg-like"?

[MISSYJ]

you stay just the way you are colin thanks for the advice

Yas

[MISSYJ]

Thanks thats what I am doing,appreciate the advice

[jeffrey]

"Ovious"? Is that "egg-like"?

Or perhaps "ovious" is halfway between "oval" and "envious". Is that an egg in your chicken-coop or are you just pleased to see me?
And a vibrating egg [don't ask] would stop you feeling broody...

[attilathelandlord]

Eggs-cellent advice Jeffrey.

(I can't believe I just typed that!)

[Colincbayley]

MISSYJ, If you have ten eggs and one breaks, what would be the % of broken eggs, 10%, 12% or 349.6% ?

[susanne]

""Try 5% for the first 3-6 months 3-4 inpections a year and no set-up fee's."" ??????

how on earth would anyone make ANY money at those rates ?

[Colincbayley]

3-4 inpections a year

Think you would have to employ a woodpecker for the inpections!

Either she's a lady 100% or not at all- there's little scope for a partial changeover, except by surgery or hormone treatment.

Not true! There are cases of babies born with both sets of genitals, they could go one way or the other. Bit like lilly savage.

Is that the 10%? Of what? Size isn't everything.

[Colincbayley]

10% of what is just a small part of the W.

[DianeB]

Size isn't everything.

I bet a man made that saying up!

[Colincbayley]

Trust me, size matters!!
The amount of times when I am in a shop that someone asks me to get something off the top shelves!!!

Or did you mean something else?
:rolleyes:

Magazines, we assume.

[Colincbayley]

No, adult education booklets !! :D

[jeffrey]

Odd that 'adult' has a special meaning- like 'discerning', 'specialist interest', and 'contact'!

[Colincbayley]

You are starting to sound like 'Rodney Trotter'

Besides with the internet, are such magazines still around?

[jeffrey]

You tell me; you're the top-shelf expert.

[Colincbayley]

You tell me; you're the top-shelf expert.

Bugger! You didn't fall into that trap.

[jeffrey]

I had a cunning plan, you see...

So, not just Rodney, but Baldric too, it seems. Of course, Baldric wouldn't be able to reach the top shelf, but Rodney could!

[Colincbayley]

So, not just Rodney, but Baldric too, it seems. Of course, Baldric wouldn't be able to reach the top shelf, but Rodney could!

Wouldn't that depend on how high the shelf is and if there is a ladder available? :D

Besides, Baldric is dead, he died in Blackadder, got shot going over into no-mans-land ( it was on the telly the other night so it must be true! )

[DianeB]

I thought he had been dug up recently in some saxon trench on channel 4 - must be wrong!
