The couple seemed really interested............very chatty. Cant understand these estate agents though...........why do they not give you feedback, whether good or bad. Even if they were to ring me to say they have not heard from them!!!

Whereas it seems extremely common (in fact I might say the done thing) in Melbourne. We got house-itis looking at several on the trot. Kept on bumping into the same other viewers, too (surprise).

Under the usual arrangements it is usually the vendors who have to do all the 'hard' work
