May 2012 Round Up

It’s been a busy month here at Applegate Lettings, with changes a plenty both in and out of the Applegate office. We’re pleased to announce that we welcomed a new staff member, Laura Joy Everitt [Lettings Administrator], to the team at the start of the month and she’s really settled into the Applegate team well, we can’t imagine the office without her! We also started working with a company called Purple Berry Media who have taken over our social media and are managing our online presence. Rebecca Sutcliffe (Creative Director at Purple Berry Media) has been into the office a few times over the last few weeks and took some photos of our team on her last visit, our first official team photoshoot! As a result of the work we’re doing with Purple Berry Media, our social networking has been pushed up a notch, we now have a blog as well as Facebook and Twitter pages so keep a look out for all our latest updates, you never know when something may come up that may be of some interest to you.

As well as successfully expanding the Applegate family this month, we’re proud to confirm that 60% of new properties that were placed on the market by Applegate Lettings in May 2012 were let within 7 days of listing. With more properties coming onto the market all the time we hope to maintain this level of success and aim to increase it each month. A note of thanks must also be sent out to all of the landlords of current properties that we manage as 78% of new business in May 2012 came from existing landlords recommending our services to others. We think this is an excellent indication of  the kind of service we provide here at Applegate Lettings and if our current clients are happy enough to recommend us with this level of new business coming our way as a result, we must be doing something right!
