Over at Brand Republic, a "mystery caller" from the marketing department calls Foxtons and asks... do you think it's a good time to buy right now? To be fair, in the transcription, the Foxtons agent sounds pretty reasonable. Unsurprisingly, he doesn't want to put a potential buyer off, but he's not making grand claims or being particularly pushy, either. Ultimately, BR give him a five out of ten, not because he tries to mislead them, but because he sounds too cheery and optimistic. What do they want? Tears?
