Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Hi Guys guess most of you are doing schools runs now! I've finished early and am on the beer!!
I am so lost in what people are doing now on this thread thought it might be a help if everyone could list the following:
Length on market.
Roughly how many viewings.
Ditto how many offers.
How many offers at or very near to asking price.
How much have you dropped by.
Do you need psychiatric help?
Thought it might help new people to thread too!!!
Have fun!!

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
UPDATE 
- got a call at 3.05pm, the viewer doesnt wish to look at the house, they dont think the area is for them *sob* I wouldnt mind but that is the last 7/8 viewers who have done exact same thing.
I wonder if the EA could be doing more to get them IN the door, or if when they phone to cancel he is just saying okay thanks?
What makes me laugh is the price reflects the area - you are either going to have a fabby house in not so fabby area (like us) or a shitty house in nice area, you cant have both for this price
I cant believe how stressful this is - although Im glad I sacked the EA.

i guess they are looking at the house and thinking that is a good price and not really considering the area until they get there
this is really your EAs job to sort out - sacking them seems a very good option to me

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
at lunchtime our 7pm viewer rearranged for 5pm (wanted 3 but i still hadnt started cleaning the kitchen!!!)
then got call from other EA who had a viewer so booked them for 5.30.
Turns out first viewer wanted to look at the house a couple of weeks back but EA told them we had an offer and were off the market - even though we had asked them to keep sending viewers :curse:
anyway they seemed to really like the house - big grins from both of them all the way around.
so fingers crossed on that one
got call from second EA just before half 5 (first viewers still here!) to say that they hadnt been able to confirm the appointment so viewers probably werent coming - so trying to rearrange for tomorrow.
phew
i'm absolutely jiggered now - need a cup of tea and a sit down
i really need to sell this house - i dont think i can keep this up without having a nervous breakdown very soon

think they relax abit when you except a offer as we said we still wanted to be on the market and we still have our for sale board, BUT the picture in their office has sold on it, we dont go in paper anymore and i checked rightmove and were not on it!!!!!!!

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
thats good lets hope they like it enough and put a offer in. at least your EA getting you viewings, even though they shouldnt have stopped.

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
i had guessed that they had stopped marketing the house - we never had a rush of viewers but there had been a steady trickle - then the offer and co-incidentally no more viewers
i should have pushed them about it - never mind i know for next time

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Well - my viewer just left. Old guy - 60's, what he wants a family house for on his own I don't know BUT he LOVED IT! Unfortunately, he hasn't sold his house
. Said the usual guff about not needing to sell before buying - but they all do and then they find out what it would cost! 
He said he'd ring me - don't know why??? Just hope it's an offer!
Isnt it amazing though how many viewers 'dont need to sell before they can buy' i wonder where they all get the money from
fingers crossed he is telling the truth!

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
you know what even though i would love to have a moan at them i just cant be bothered at mo, and i dont think i've got the time to do viewing even if we had any, putting all my energy into getting things sorted in the hope that sale goes smoothly.

where in the world did you find a freelance estimator? sounds like a good idea to me
strangely i got a 10% off with doree bonner through the post today - and i havent even been in contact with them - so the only thing i can think is that one of the companies i did contact must be passing on leads
