Estate Agent Flyers

We are lucky enough to live in a highly desirable area, we've been here 32 years and haven't brought the area down yet!

We have great schools from nursery to senior including 6th form and a college all withinvery easy walking distance.  We have selective grammar schools for boys and girls within walking further distance as well as a further selection of schools.  We can also walk into town.  Buses have been cut over the years (we no longer have first owners of our houses built in 1930's in our road, but there is one of 103 in a nearby road - many well over 90 and several past 100) as those who used them have moved on, but still a few a day.

Properties sell very quickly and we are getting fed up with constant bombardment from estate agents in the form of flyers through our door sometimes more than one agent a day Yell.  Are we alone in this or does it happen to others?

Once again today we've been informed we will soon have new neighbours and would we like to sell our property through us?  They don't even offer to give a discount should you consider doing so.  IF we were selling our property I would certainly be asking for discounts and playing one against the other to get the best deal.  In fact I'd probably go it alone if they go as fast as they seem to - hot cakes are slow comparedWink

Try a sticker on the door saying "No advertising literature, junk mail of cold callers". You can buy them on eBay. 

There again, it's only bits of paper to put straight in the recycling bin and it sounds as if you'll be in a good position to negotiate your own selling terms.

I think it might be a general thing, we also seem to get our fair share of these flyers through the door. As does our son, who lives 200 miles from us. I think it is just another way of estate agents advertising.

Nothing like that, I must have already reduced the standards where I live making it thoroughly undesirable to anyone Sad

As if by magic, 30 minutes after my posting, the letter box has just flapped and a flyer has landed on the mat - it's from a local estate agent! Coincidence or what.

We get lots of flyers.  We're in a no cold selling area, so now instead of knocking, they stuff flyers through.  I think I will take Volvoman9's idea and get a lovely dormat with "Bugger Off" or "Shove it in the blue bin"Happy

We have a notice on our letter box,reads as "No Junk Mail" we still get some but it has reduced it a lot,problem is a large part of the persons doing the delivery do not have English as their languageWink

My sister to lives in a much sought after area as estate agents say, but it's an over 55 no children resident other than grandchildren visit and the odd stay over, she to receives such a large amount of junk mail , but there problem mainly is the Royal Mail postman she gets at least 2 pieces  of junk for every letter he post being in a vunrable age area most are well in there late 60s surely this is very poor judgement by someone in the post office .....no wonder they need those big trolleys we see them pushing around

Our next door neighbour owns one of the market leader estate agents for our area and we get flyers from their company so we shove them through their letterbox.  Happy

It's charity bags that pee us off.  Sometimes four per day.
