Again, all the consultant are effectively self employed and are responsible for their own listings, if my colleagues have things at high prices it isn't my responsibility but I can assure you they won't be making any money from it cos no one will call them.

The main reason for 'rogue pricing' is that a lot land lords do not care and think their place is some magical property that is going to beat the market and will not listen to the advice we give them. A lot of these people are actually being taken of our books because they are completely pointless listings, more infurriating for me than you I can assure you.

July, either -
5 bed (independent only) 190k, ranches only.
May take a 3/4 bed, but would have to be 30/20k less..

of course the landlord can pay the agents commission, I have no interest..

and if its admirable that people come on here to drum up some business, then nobody will mind if everyone starts doing daily self promotion?
.. i can just see it now..

If you use the search tool you will see I started two threads about future rent prices sometime last year in Sept-Nov and I was one of the few predicting a 20-40% drop in rent prices when everyone was talking about level up! Maybe I was short in the prediction but at least much better than the BE prediction!

Stick around please.

One thing I need to ask though - please don't tout, really - no advertising is allowed.

Thanks and welcome.

I choose to work at BH because I believed they were the best and had the best reputation for being a good reputable firm, I have quickly realised that this may not be the case and am between a rock (trying to find a new job in a job market which doesn't exist due to the current climate) and a hard place(sticking it out and trying to survive in my current role by working all the hours god sends and providing a good level of service). We all make mistakes.

I am not touting I was simply offering advice, if I was touing I would be setting up new threads and hijacking others... A little like what you are doing by turning this simple question regarding one persons property search into a witch hunt.

Please if you really don't like agents then ignore what I have to say but dont go off on a tangent. There are plenty of www.ihateestateagents.com so why don't we keep this one as a good source of reference for ex pats trying to live in difficult times.

Let's do a deal (god I need one at the moment!) I won't offer any more help or advice unless asked and you can stop insulting me when you have no idea who I am.

My preference is the Lakes. I saw one the other day on at 180, so I am assuming by the time the summer hits they will have dropped a bit. My second choice is the Springs, preferably 1 and 2 and an end/corner plot, third choice is a three bed apartment on the Palm.

I am a proactive type of guy. If someone requests help and I can provide them with it I will message them privately from now on if this is ok?

I know this sounds completely sarcastic but I am being genuine and I have every intention of sticking around provided I keep my job!!!

Your still here, loads of the types that screwed up your industry have fecked off back to Peckham.

If you can provide the masses with their property needs then good on ya!

Now to mask the fact that you are on here for business (nothing wrong with that)

What football team do you support
Where are you from
Where do you like to go for a beer?


etc etc

Keep posting and happy renting..
