In 1989 we offered a more complete service by picking the client up at Poitiers airport, booking them into a nice hotel in La Rochefoucauld and then showing them around properties until returning them to the airport for the flight to London Sunday late afternoon. It worked well, we sold a heck of a lot of properties. That was a great service to offer but how do you stop the day dreamers or people just out to look at the area. We did that a few times but never got a sale through driving people about. If we talked to the children often they would say the parents do this every year, so you knew not to spend to much time on them. Back in the day we used to get hundreds of pictures printed on properties and if feeling flush colour photocopies  Now it's walk around videos, google images and dozens of pictures from every angle. How times have changed. You have to bear in mind we were seeing so many house seekers that it didn’t need a great percentage to buy for us to make a living. In the eighties and early nineties cheap properties were ten a penny so a sale every two or three clients was normal. Problem was that the average Brit had no idea what was available so spending a few hours driving around with each showing what they could get for their money was well worth the effort. |
