We were recently contacted by George Clooneys agent, apparently he wants to make a new movie in Hoddesdon, it is about a dynamic letting agent who is also a spy and international luxury car dealer. Anyway he wanted to come and get some background to letting agencies and the Hoddesdon area, so we spent a pleasurable few hours yesterday giving him some tips and Enzo gave him his godfather impression which he was really impressed with, Good luck with the movie George, Hollywood here we come !!

What a busy week, ben reckons you can cut keys with a coke can, we’ve had an irate tenant because we locked him out for non payment, Jean has nearly got all the properties on winman, Dave Sorrentino messed up my hair cut appointment, had to go dentist with a junior hangover today due to Chris Short and Keith Ashman leading me astray yesterday, Jain King is driving Ben mad, Enzo and Ben have been down to Argos getting toilet seats, some idiot member of staff mislaid some keys down a drain and had to fish them out, the BMW one series is bust because of Tony’s bad driving..the biggest baddest irish funeral was on Wednesday evening over the catholic church, Simon’s car got stuck over there and he was too scared to ask anyone to move … so you get the picture its been a tough week, but enjoyable all the same, we were well cheered up by the sight of George from the pizza place using his car as a statellite dish to watch turkish TV !!!

Can’t believe it, we are half way throught June, Wimbledon next week, England out of the 20/20, the Ashes are coming up, Ronaldo’s off to real Madrid, Mrs D Gone to Iceland to stock up on ice lollies for the kids, Tony’s been to Norfolk camping ( true ) and I am 43 next week ! Where has this year gone ?

The rental market remains as my last report- we have put on more properties than we have lost and are on target for + 14% on turnover 2008. So, all is good, we have installed CFP winman lettings software in to both offices which we are very pleased with. We are also happy with the amount of instructions we have, currently nearly 60 properties to let. Feedback regards the new website is also very positive.

William H Brown Lettings in Ware are getting on my nerves, they are displaying rightmove properties as ‘Let By’ when we have rented them - I asked one of my clients to phone them to see what the bobby was and they told her they had hit the wrong button !!!

Anyway, lets hope we have some decent weather this summer and we give the aussies a game in the cricket..
