They do p me off too, we came here at xmas, 2 days later we arranged to meet agent , we waited 3 bloody hours, 3 kids, red hot ,i was ill with a chest infection, she turned up all smiles said she was held up. If we was not so desperate i would not have waited that long.
She is still a bloody cow.

Re: F**king estate agents

Is it fair to paint all agents with the same tarbrush? (title of thread)
People do make mistakes and lets face it, its not life or death is it?

At least she apologised! How come you lost $65? You were only there 10 mins..

A few home truths..

Whereever you live (in the world) house hunting is no fun....

Best of luck,

I arrived there on time, place looked nice from the outside, I waited 10 minutes for the agent to arrive & she didn't show. I gave her a call to see where she was & she told me that she had already let the place! Well, thanks for telling me. She was very apologetic & said she thought she had phoned me to cancel. I guess it could have been a genuine error but I doubt it. I lost $65 because she was too useless to give me a call. I have found most estate agents could not give a toss. They sound indifferent on the phone. They close at 5 in the afternoon & are only open for 2 hours on saturday. So far most of the places I have seen have been sh*t holes & it's annoying because the rent I am prepared to pay is not peanuts. I am not enjoying this house hunting saga but will keep at it.
