🥑 The Story Behind the Name "Avocado Property": How Pink Shorts and a Vegas Trip Inspired a Brand 🫣

Curious minds often inquire about the intriguing origins of our name, "Avocado." 🥑🥑🥑 Well, settle in as we take you on a journey back in time to the inception of our brand and the unlikely source of inspiration that led to it.

🛍️ The Vegas Encounter 🎲

Four years ago, we were armed with a concept, a well-crafted plan, and a distinct set of skills. Michael Robson and I were ready to launch our venture, but there was one crucial element missing—our brand's identity. Chat GPT was not yet in our toolkit at the time, either.

During my honeymoon in Las Vegas, a seemingly innocuous purchase altered the trajectory of our brand. I stumbled upon a pair of shorts in a hotel shop—a vibrant pink pair. At a hefty price tag of $74.00, they were undeniably overpriced. However, fate seemed to favor me that day, as a winning streak at the blackjack table had just fattened my wallet.

The decision was made: those shorts were going home with me.

👖 From Pink Shorts to Avocado Property 🏡

As time passed, those pink shorts became a cherished item in my wardrobe. One day, while donning them proudly, an idea struck me like a lightning bolt. I vocalized my musings aloud, "what about avocado properties?"

In that moment, a seed of inspiration was planted. What started as a whimsical thought evolved into something more profound—Avocado Property. Remarkably, whenever I shared this name with others, smiles inevitably spread across their faces. The name had an inherent charm that resonated.

And then came the clincher: a victory on rightmove. The name "Avocado Property" emerged triumphant. This affirmation solidified our choice.

🎉 A Name Takes Root 🌱

With the name firmly in place, our branding journey began. The very name that emerged from a pair of pink swimming shorts opened doors to creativity, sparking the conception of a vibrant and engaging brand image.

So there you have it—the unexpected alliance of a pair of shorts, the glitz of Las Vegas, and a stroke of inspiration. Who could have guessed that such a seemingly inconsequential item would shape our identity and narrative? We certainly didn't, but we're elated that it did!

Here's to pink shorts, serendipitous moments, and the birth of Avocado Property 🥑🏡.

When you have had your property on the market for a while, many sellers eventually face the same difficult decision: whether their asking price needs adjusting to reignite buyer interest.

In Bicester, the gap between 2- and 3-bed homes has widened since 2006, but moving up isn’t as unaffordable as it seems. Lower mortgage rates, higher equity, and incomes mean real monthly costs have risen less than headlines suggest.
