A bit of hope for you all:

We've Exchanged!!!

Completion date set for 16th May, then it's a month's notice at work and we're off! Can't believe it's finally happening after two failed sales and nearly 12 months on the market. Don't give up hope everyone

Well my new EA came today and took the pics, she is going to email my new booklet over to me tonight. As they take over on thursday she is goingt o have it put in the paper that day !!!!!!! Well I hope she keeps to her deal
Hopefully will get some viewers from the advert, Ive not had any for the last 9 weeks now

good luck everyone for some viewers this week
Really good luck with the new Ea, 9 weeks is a long time with no viewers. Lets hope she works for you

We have heard nothing am i being to optomistic in thinking we may have had something by now, i have heard people have put their house on the market and had at least 1 or 2 viewings in the first week, even tho they may not have come to anything, should i ring the EA and ask whats happening and why did it not go in the local rag, (thats their job really but feel i may need to do their job of finding out any info so far )

michellx
Hi there - I got told by our new EA that you generally get most viewings in the first couple of weeks but am not sure it is right really. New people are looking every week. I would ring and find out what they are doing though.

But I do know they are real viewers this time as the the new EA who came before them said he had mr and mrs blah blah who will want to come and look, his face was a picture when I told him they were already coming.

Wouldn't sign anything as he wanted 1.5% for his fees so gunna think about it. He has to come back to take the photos as I was pushing him out the door before the viewer came.

Please please let these people buy it!

Tina x
I really hope they buy it Tina, will keep everything crossed. We have got our new EA down to .85% from 1.5% so I wouldn't pay that. If buyers can do it to us then we can do it to EA's.

He has just suggested to one of the viewers from the weekend (who has not even sold theirs) that we may be up for a part exchange. Not a bad idea as it would at least release some money.

Nicky
I think a major body part might persuade someone to buy.....:curse::curse:

Good luck hun - I hope this works for you. Part ex might work - just check the house they want to ex is rentable.

EA rung some someone (who's on their books) has just driven passed my house and wants to come and view it (why the hell did it take for them to drive pass to know it was on the market)?

She said she likes it.

Bad news the other viewers said it was to small for them. I had a look at their house on rightmove and its a lot bigger than mine. Can't understand why these people want to down size but want the same size as what they have only cheaper

Mmmmmm it is bizarre. Half the time I think viewers never read the ads on houses first - go and look and then say this was wrong, didn't like that etc etc:curse:
As buyers are so sparce at the mo I wonder if agents are simply letting anyone view without getting too much info from them - maybe to keep the sellers happy?
Mind you ours arn't too fussed in us getting ANY viewers
Still off to Oz in 3 weeks then when we return will change EA's IF it hasn't sold by then

Fingers crossed for the new viewers!

Sod the old ones. They are stupid. :curse:

We have another viewer tomorrow - just put their house on the market. Sigh, can't see anything coming of it... have to let them in though. Trouble is, we have a mountain of stuff in the hall ready to send to auction. Just have to ignore it won't they!

Really angry with our EA they have ballsed up our ad by putting the wrong price on and now they have corrected it, a potential buyer thinks we have put it up because he is interested..:curse::curse:

Have a 2nd viewing on my rental flat on Saturday. Can but hope.


I still need loads of good luck this week... the low offer is just too low.
