Someone stop me slitting my wrists!!!!
ANOTHER fudging viewer didnt turn up last night :curse: that is the last 4 out of 6 in two weeks that have been no shows. *sob*
I spent the day scrubbing, tidying (and hiding) Dh came home from work early to take the kids out of the way - lets face it 6.30 isnt exactly the calmest time in my house usually.

Bar Stewards! :curse::curse::curse: Did the EA turn up and not the viewer?? Does the EA know why they didn't turn up?? You must be SOOO annoyed!
Hope you get some better news today.

Thanks for Karma Sloane
Fly away, we negotiated a low percentage with the EAs as they dont do viewings, but I seriously regret it now. I wish I had gone to the other EA who although were alot higher % they do all the viewings themselves.

Should be within the hour, or definitely within 24 hours usually. Might be waiting to see if they get a morgage arranged in principle. But this shouldn't take that long. Hmmm..... Keep on to your agent!

Viewings are soooo important and if you have a good positive salesman he or she will help sell the property for you. No offence but it's rare that an agent dosen't do the viewings, only out of work hours should you be doing them yourself.

Hate it when viewers don't turn up! You have my sympathies. The least they could do is let you know.
Karma vibes for all who need it!

I have just received a letter through the post from another EA asking if we could contact them as they think they could sell our house easily in this 'buoyant market'.

maybe it is different depending on where in the country you are.
might also explain why the EAs % tend to be lower around here ...
i was quite happy doing my own viewings - as far as i am concerned noone knows my house better than me so i am in the best position to sell it

Mind you all my viewings have been out of hours. It seems more and more of the agents in our town are stopping doing the viewings and offering a lower %.

Thanks T&G. I agree that I am not sure an agent could do anything more at a viewing than what I do, but an agent is going to query that to make them feel necessary (only joking Bushy mate). But if a viewer knows the EA has gone to effort to do a viewing it might make them more inclined to show?
