42 Events maltatoday SUNDAY 14 JANUARY 2018 Frank Salt Real Estate reaches out ON the 16 and 17 December the Mosta branch of Frank Salt Real Estate went out to meet clients and potential clients to provide one to one consultation regard- ing the local property market. The venue was PAMA Village Mosta, and five members of the Frank Salt Mosta branch literal- ly met hundreds of people doing their Christmas shopping. People generally enquired about the state of the property market had a chat and a mince pie. Others placed their property on the market, others wanted to see property. The people in gen- eral, were really pleased that a local real estate company really wanted to be with them at this time of the year. Issues discussed were mainly property sales, but also ques- tions were asked about prop- erty taxes and property rentals. Frank Salt Property News was freely distributed to all who came to the stand.
