So here's the poem:

There once was a young lady named Haley,
Who dreamed of warm weather and Bailey’s.
With a golden ticket I bid adieu,
And made a trip that was well overdue.
Kangaroos, koalas and the ocean,
I can now understand all the commotion.
Still can’t stay off B.E.
Might someday just have to flee!
But for now on here I can be seen,
Whilst ignoring the washing machine

So, you put in the offer last week and they still can't contact their clients??? Makes me think there is definately another viewing in the book and they want to wait to see if they get another offer. Try going round to the house and saying the EA can't get hold of them, did they know you had put in an offer. You might find out the truth.

Fingers crossed for you!

Hiya Bushey!!

We don't blame you for our houses not selling. We just enjoy being able to whinge a real life EA. LOL.

I've just had a second viewing - a guy brought his wife back. He loves the house, not sure if she does. Oh dear, the woman always has last say! I'm just hoping she was playing her cards close to her chest.

Good on ya!! Take a piece of paper and a pen, if they're out, leave a note saying you put in an offer to the EA, how much for and that you are in a really good position to proceed quickly. Put your telephone number on it - as the EA is shut in the evening. They may just call.

Good luck!!

(Hope you are feeling a bit better too!)

If the owner is there I never say a whole lot about the house, at least nothing positive anyway. Usually I would stay pretty quiet, make some mental notes and then talk all about it after I leave.

So you never know what they're thinking.

I still find it odd that you guys are there for the showings. All the showings I've ever been to or done the owner was out of the house. This was in Canada though. I did notice in Australia that the owners were home about half the time, so similar to the UK in that respect.

Anyway, now that I've done my 1000th (and got another star) I'm off to bed.

Hoping that's true!

We haven't got an EA at the moment. Ours wanted far too much money for the little bit of work they were prepared to do. I put the house on a website while I looked for another EA - so far have had more interest than when we had an EA, so haven't bothered getting another one!! Wonder what that says! So that's why I do the viewings! I don't mind and it means the viewer can ask questions that the EA can't answer. Also we are flexible and do evenings and weekends for people who work and I give them all a cup of tea / coffee and a biccie! If we really can't sell, we'll put it on with another EA and if that doesn't work, send it to auction.

Night night, sleep tight and dream about your 1000 posts!
