Triple Word Score.

Another big week in here, amidst the back drop of rising interest rates and American bank collapses it seems the underlying demand for good property remains steady. A heads up, forgive me for being a bit Irish in this note but it’s been an emotional week (and…I am Irish).

First up, a special mention goes to the former owners and new buyers of 23 The Crescent that we sold this week, a great result and a timely reminder as to why we do what we do…working with great people is just the best.

Deep down I think most people are great, if I didn’t I don’t think I could endure the rocky world of real estate. Buying and selling displaces people and displaced people often behave with displacement *triple word score.

I’ve said this before but recently I’ve seen more examples of when people push too hard or play games and then lose. In Formula 1 if you get too greedy searching for that extra tenth your car can easily end up in the wall, it's all risk versus reward.

But seriously, helping to guide people to make the right decisions often under duress is the gift of what I do and we feel grateful to all those who trust us so thank you.

Dense with metaphors this newsletter is, but as we approach end of quarter and I reflect on this crazy business I think the whole thing is kind of like a trapeze act. Do we jump? Do we buy before we sell? Do we sell before we buy? What’s going to happen?

The reality is no-one knows but I will say this, be very wary of anyone who is certain about anything!

Actually one thing is for certain, all real estate agents need to update their profile pics (present company included).

Until next week,
David
