WELCOME TO THE THIRD ISSUE OF MAYFAIR PORTFOLIO
The speed of change in so many parts of our lives can often leave us breathless. Those who haven’t moved home for a long time will find themselves in a very different world as the internet has made such a profound difference to the way we all look for property.
But some things don’t change and probably
never will – like the reasons we choose a property in the first place or all the emotions tied up with moving home.
For estate agents there are still tried and tested
ways of publicising and marketing houses. For sale boards are still as powerful as ever, so too is the print media, despite the challenge by its younger cousin, electronic media. Magazines such as Mayfair Portfolio are a targeted way of reaching those who are interested in property. The success of the magazine is proven every day so I am delighted to welcome you to this latest edition and wish you a comfortable voyage of discovery into the very best property that Surrey and Hampshire have to offer. There is one other thing in property that will
never change – the value of experienced and talented professionals. Experience is something that the internet cannot and never will be able to offer, experience beats cheap and experience beats cheerful. If there is one thing I have picked up from clients over 40 years spent working in this extraordinary business, it is that not all agents are the same and that a good agent will, nine times out of 10, achieve a better result. I am delighted to say that all the agents featured in the pages of Mayfair Portfolio are among the best in the business!
