What's up dog?

Luna is our beloved office dog and morale booster extraordinaire at Bayleys Real Estate, Howick. She plays an invaluable role in fostering a positive atmosphere among our team and clients.

One of Luna's standout qualities is her natural affinity for children. Many of our coworkers bring their kids to the office, and Luna effortlessly transforms into their entertainer-in-chief. She has a special talent for keeping them engaged and entertained, which not only relieves stress for our colleagues but also creates a welcoming environment where families feel at home.

Beyond her duties within the office, Luna has become a local celebrity in our community. Clients have asked about her by name when they visit, and have requested for her presence at auctions, property viewings and more. Her innate ability to charm both adults and children alike has undoubtedly contributed to our positive client relationships and increased satisfaction.

Luna's influence extends even further into social media. Her "day in the life of a real estate dog" reel on instsagram has amassed over 100k views, showcasing her endearing quirks. (View the reel here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C6XlBblPXp-/). This not only boosts our online presence but also humanises our brand, showing the personal side of our business through Luna's eyes. In fact, her social media presence has even secured us business from clients!

Whether she's snoozing contentedly in a sunny spot or not-so-subtly eyeing up everyone's lunch, Luna's presence creates moments of joy and camaraderie among our team members.

In conclusion, Luna isn't just a dog'she's a cherished member of our team, a social media sensation, and an integral part of our workplace culture. Her positive impact is felt every day in countless ways, from boosting morale and client relations to simply making us smile. For these reasons and more, Luna truly deserves to be recognised with the Office Dog Award.
