I'd take GG's recommendation over any random, overly-glowing praise from first time posters anyway.

Oh my

This thread has spectacularly improved my evening and inspired me to post outside family forum for the first time. Poor old EDfan. You screwed up big style didn't you...

Made me laugh out loud though despite chest infection/ tiredness from young baby and row with Mr ACBP ce soir.


Why thank you...every cloud and all that.


That said, the circumstantial evidence is there IMO... And the negative inference there to be drawn.

A big no to ever using Jacksons from me I'm afraid...

Once upon a time there was an East Dulwich estate agent called Osbourne Stewart. Some bright spark at the office thought it would be a good idea to diss Foxtons and big up their own business. The story is retold here in ye EDF archives:

And Osbourne Stewart duly went out of business.


Plus ca change.

Played already giggirl!

Dismal start.

35%

Top points for a house in Haringey though... Jacksons why don't you go and inflict yourselves on N London instead???

Mr ACBP will love that game once out of grump...

He will swiftly become addicted.

As I am to the marvellous stuff that goes on in this forum.

Loving it...

And all because the Jacksons Darren man posted in disguise...quel dommage

I got 60% on the first attempt. Although I might have hoped to do better, I am not discouraged and see the exercise as a reminder that life is a process of continuous improvement.


In that vein, and as a motivated self-starter with a distinguished career in a range of creative industries, including client-facing roles in the marketing sector, I'd like to be the first to welcome Jacksons to the community, and thank them for their kind invitation to meet their team.


Although estate agents get a bad press on this forum, I believe Jacksons are not just an ornament to their profession, but a shining example to community-centred businesspeople everywhere. It is, admittedly, a difficult position to maintain in the current environment, not least because it is no easy task to recruit the best in a world where estate agency, rather than being seen as a rewarding and necessary vocation for those with the requisite talents, is often unfairly disparaged.


But for those such as myself - a proven negotiator with both considerable business acumen, certificates for punctuality, literacy and numeracy and a sound, working knowledge of social media and digital PR - who can see the wood for the trees, Jacksons pre-eminence is more than obvious. It it is just a shame that, for reasons beyond my control, I am currently unable to consider a change of career within the next week. However, I wish them the very best of luck in the future, and look forward to meeting them on Sunday.

Hey - I got 74% on my first attempt - I think I could actually be an estate agent on that basis...


Is that a good or bad thing?


Although it may be in part as I am in the process of moving, so both buying and selling property at the moment. So whilst looking for somewhere to buy, I put a call in to Jacksons to see when they expected to start having stock to view. I have to say that my first impression was that the person I spoke to was very profesional and courteous, and from someone currently outside of area, seemed to very quickly get a handle on what I was looking for. And I have to say that has not been the case with all of the exisiting agents in Dulwich (although equally some have been very good).


So, particularly as I belive we live in a free market where anyone who wants to open a business (within certain limits) and can fund the rents/rates/overhead is free to do so, I welcome Jacksons as a new addition to the area.


But seriously, Jacksons, if you were responsible for the ED Fan comments the best thing you could do would be to fess up, apologise, and start again. Or if not strenuously deny...

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
