Welcome

[Jacksons EastDulwich]

Hello all,

Something a little different to the norm! As Estate Agents, we want to be part of your community. We already sponsor Heber Primary School and several artists from Camberwell School of Art.

We are writing to tell everyone in East Dulwich that Jacksons Estate Agents are opening a brand new office at 12 Lordship Lane SE22 8HN.

We will be opening on the 1st September at 10am. We will be providing free drinks to all those who pop in. We are also offering the chance to win ?5,000!

Everyone welcome -We hope to see you there.

Excited to welcome Jacksons to East Dulwich.

[pinecone]

I've a penny which says "EastDulwichFan" is a shill

[whatson?]

pinecone, are you suggesting that it is implausible for someone to be so moved by the felicitous news that a new estate agent is arriving on Lordship Lane that they join the forum and immediately post hearty congratulations?

You hoary cynic you.

[Sue]

:))

[davidh]

just what we need on the lane. another estate agent!!!

[antantant]

Will you be serving Jack Daniels?

[buddug]

Oh dear, Eastdulwichfan. You join the forum today and make your first post today. Sigh. Not much of an eastdulwichfan then. More like eastdulwichspam. Integrity indeed. And we all know estate agents are called Darren, we're not stupid here, you know.

[JimH]

This is so obvious....he has two posts both regarding Jacksons!! Nice try and way to introduce yourself to the area. People in Dulwich are maybe not as dumb as you give your clients credit for!!

[poppet27]

Having had a god awful experience with Jacksons lettings in Balham, let me say, never again.

When we looked for our next place, we very deliberately boycotted Jacksons.

Why?

Pushy yet disinterested when it mattered; money-grabbing when it suited them, yet lackadaisical on other days, not to mention badly trained staff who would clearly rather have been watching paint dry/ get their commission than going the extra mile.

Pity it couldn't have been an independent butcher/baker/ candlestick maker instead.

[buddug]

The integrity of a rat, more like. And stupid with it. Idiot. Even Foxtons wouldn't stoop so low. Such old-school tactics. If you do pop into Jackson's, Darren will be the one wearing white socks and grey shoes...

[JimH]

...and also dispariging of the estate agents that are currently in East Dulwich, some of whom I have experience of and have been very good (not all i might add). Treat us like idiots, butter us up by some token "sponsorships", a drink and a chance to win ?5,000 as well as an obvious fake post and we are all yours?! Hahah FAIL

[poppet27]

Oh,and before you even entertain the thought of posting cheap print outs through my letterbox with headlines like 'PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN THIS ADDRESS' or 'DEMAND HIGH, SUPPLY LOW!' please note that I use these to line my cat's litter tray.

[edcam]

Dear oh dear. A spectacular mistake.

[dennis]

Hoary indeed, next someone will surmise that the ?5000 prize will in some way

tided up with the first people to use them as an agency. I'm sure the residents of ED

and 'Eastdulwichfan' welcome Jacksons to our well established bijou

high street, located close to transport links. Or maybe not !!

[JimH]

Poor "Darren" is probably getting an earful from his boss as we speak. He just needs to hand back his keys to his Mini and pick up his box packed with his hair gel, thesaurus and clipboard and he is off.

[Penguin68]

Now this is starting to look a bit like cyber-bullying. Wishing that someone should be fired because you belive (with no little evidence but no proof) that 'he' has been up to a bit of cack-handed promotion is a bit rich. Eastdulwichfan's been outed - leave it at that.

(And what a good way for a rival estate agent to build up ill-will to a competitor - by appearing to make such a blatant puffery post - just a thought!)

[JimH]

Thats not cyber bullying!! I was not wishing him fired but merely making a joke on the way the post has turned around for them. I am sure "Darren" will be fine and this post will vanish by the morning.

[pinecone]

solid gold

[giggirl]

No - this isn't cyber bullying!

Jacksons & Eastdulwichfan - please take note. The people in this community that you say you want to be part of are not as stupid as you think. We were not born yesterday and this forum has been around for a long time so don't insult us with false recommendations please.

I am your target market - i.e. I am someone in need of the services of an estate agent at the moment. You've already shot yourselves in the foot by demonstrating a lack of integrity.

The NoFlies estate agent (local ED business) has actual genuine forum recommendations in case you're interested. Integrity and hard work.

[Dulwich Squirrel]

This has really made me laugh - a spectacular PR disaster before they've even opened their doors!!

[lane lover]

Recent reviews tend to reflect a number of dissatisfied customers.

Are you Foxtons in disguise ?

[jamesb]

Priceless.

[AcedOut]

admin - can we have an IP check on the first two posts please?

[AcedOut]

"Darren" hasn't had much else to say on this forum !

Oh, wouldn't this be a bad start for them. It's actually illegal to self-review with fake accounts. I'd be happy to report to the Office of Fair Trading if the IP addresses match.
