Yes I saw the light again........although I feel in the dark today

All very normal Beth and it comes and goes. It is a REALLY big life changeing thing you are undertaking. It will take time and courage and freinds here and and at home. Only for the strong
Great coffee houses everywhere thank goodness

11 months is a long time Beth and if your EA isn't someone who follows up, he's an arse indeed. You have enough stress as it is already. We're having a new EA coming over this evening, just having a chat, like what can he do/promise the other EA couldn't and what's he like in following up and updating, cause our present EA only does that after calling him ourselves.
Good luck Beth, let's hope we all sell ASAP

We have thought about never owning a house gain, seems to make more sense the more we think about it.

We got our visa March 3rd and have to be there May 16th, chances are we will have to come back to sell, as we cant afford to keep 2 homes going

Not ideal, but may have to.

Beth: does he know you are unhappy with lack of feedback, he probably is i'm sure you will have told him

Our EA rang this morning to say she cant get hold of viewers from last night for feedback but as soon as she does she will ring.

When I see its their number come up on my phone I get all excited for a viewer and find out its not. I suppose at least they are ringing me.

Thanks Miranda - I will have to do that. I'm just at the end of my tether after 10 months on the market - a feeling you are familiar with I'm sure.

I couldn't agree more sparky. No telly for me....BE will do :
Hope your change of EA works - something must eh???

It is attractive... We have to stay 2 years in Adelaide to get PR - there is no reason we won't like it, but if the housing market dives there and we can't sell, we can't move if want to after the 2 years... so better not to buy or to buy a good renter as an investment.

That's annoying isn't it? I asked mine to email me unless it's a viewing or news!

we all get good news soon.

I understand how hard it is for you. If we don't sell, we can't go either.

We had to validate as well. Not ideal but once we were there again it felt just like home.

Default Re: Whinging Pom House seller

dont forget that these agents get a commision too. they will try every scare tactic in the book to get you to lower your price for a quich sale so they get their bit of money quicker.

keep that in mind too.

Yes, so true, keep your budget in mind, don't let them lure you into something you don't want too, like selling your house way below a realistic and fair price

Thanks Janine I don't know what is the matter with me this week. My patience has run out I guess. If we didn't have an 8 yr old, we would just juggle our time between UK and Aus to meet the visa conditons. Of course, we can't do that because of school etc...

True - but increasingly difficult.

That's the problem isn't it? We all need our equity as a safety net.

I hope they are all ringing the EAs as we speak!

Wow, how many pages have been added on since yesterday???!!

Good luck everyone with viewings.

Had a fantastic night last night...didn't get to bed until 3am, which is the lastest in a couple of years.

I drank a fair amount of white wine last night, but am now going to abstain until next Saturday. I think my body will be very grateful.

Well the 40ft container is outside the house and being loaded as I type House looks very strange and where did all this dust come from

We have a viewer booked for Friday so fingers crossed

Neither Jason nor I are on the pics, she obviously thinks Jason is handsome as he has a nice living room, did make me laugh though,

Ohh, well we are having one of those days!!!!
