A lot has changed in 25 years in estate agency..but some things are the same!
Director Dan Crawley joined Aldreds on 1st August 2001. 25 years ago this week
Dan says ‘when I joined Aldreds as a negotiator in 2001 email was not used at all, property marketing online was yet to take hold, mobile phone use was limited, and two big bags of post left the office every day. Times have changed and technology has brought innovation and speed to the sale and letting of homes with email and mobile phones speeding up contact, online marketing giving buyers access to properties at their fingertips and digital photography, floorplans and video enhancing and maximising property marketing.
‘When I first started. we knew that the Advertisers were being delivered as the phones would light up as the newspapers hit the letter boxes on a Thursday afternoon’
‘Some things have stayed the same, however, with contact with clients, keeping people informed and negotiating and working hard for the client being the basis for all we do’
‘I’m not sure I will do a Mark Duffield and hang about for 50 years…but I’m not going anywhere just
