All the preparation is in place, staff cover is lined up , the latest Imagine TV episode had been filmed and goes live by the time this article is distributed and I’ve stocked up on enough sun cream to keep a Polar Bear protected.

So far the market hasn’t been too affected by World Cup fever with our new applicant registrations, viewing levels and number of deals all maintaining recent levels in both Sales and Lettings. Whether that remains probably depends on England’s progress, but my competitor who was offering free fees if England won the World Cup is probably a little more relaxed after our first match. (Bet he still can’t sleep through the night though!)

There is a favour a few readers may be kind enough to help us in my absence. Our ‘You Tube’ channel is now up and running and accessible via our website by clicking on the link on the home page. We are looking to push the subscriber numbers up as much as possible on this and as such would really appreciate anybody taking out a couple of minutes to log in and perhaps pointing a few of their network of friends in that direction while they are at it. If you join our Face Book Fan Page in the same manner you score bonus points and if you Twitter us too, well that qualifies you to become Imagine royalty and untold rewaards await you.

All these sites will have regular updates of general market and property information as well as items more specific to Imagine. We know many people enjoy and have a fascination with property full stop, even if they aren’t directly involved in selling or letting currently. These links will hopefully become a valuable source of content on the subject to keep you fully up to speed with the property world. Please take a look – all via our website www.imagine-group.co.uk
