Going Home for
Christmas - An Estate Agent's Tale
Whether you call it the Holiday Season, Festive Period or simply good old Christmas, the idea of celebrating at this time of year has been ingrained in us all over the course of history.
With the shortest day of the year on the winter solstice, late December has always been an important time as long as humans have been around to witness it.
Even if you aren't a particularly religious person, the end of the year naturally centres around celebrating with family and friends. What's more, it's firmly focused on the idea of home...
Home sweet home
'Going home for Christmas' is a theme found in many famous films, TV shows and songs. The reason these are so plentiful and well known is because it's something that resonates with all of us.
At Maslen we understand that the work we do goes much deeper than helping people buy or rent a house or flat. It's about them finding a new home, one where they can write a new chapter in their lives, whether that happens over a relatively short time or covers a lifetime.
Remembering being a child wondering if Father Christmas has dropped by, or being the person waiting for their own now-grown up children to arrive for a Christmas visit are perfect examples of what we mean - and why we all have so much in common at this time of year.
A house is not...
A home is a collection of feelings. It's a deep connection with the building that you live in.
Sometimes it can be a 'love at first sight' feeling when you walk through the door on a viewing. Other times it might take months or even years of renovation and decoration until everything falls into place and it starts to feel right.
That's one of the ways you can tell a good estate agent from the rest - we understand that feelings, dreams and the idea of home all play such a big role in the work we do.
Christmas season
With the idea of a safe, secure home being central to the concept of celebrating Christmas, now is a perfect opportunity for us all to think of those much less fortunate than ourselves. Homeless charities do great work all year round, however during the festive period it takes on a completely different perspective.
We are proud to lend our support to some of the greatorganisations and initiatives in Brighton and Hove and encourage others to do the same, wherever you might live.
