That's a nice little euphemism, isn't it. My house is currently on the market with Atwell Martin. I think I'll 'mothball' that.

I appreciate that they've got commercial decisions to make, but if I'm going to sell, it'll be through someone with a presence in our town.

And do the advertising boards on houses do any good for the seller these days? I doubt it. Most people go round the estate agents or look at sites such as Rightmove. So my advert for Atwell Martin will be down pretty soon.
