The intractability of (un)Real Estate Agents here...
Is it just me or has anyone else come across some Real Estate agents who seem to think that its still the year 2008?
I am getting sick of agents not showing up at appointments, their complete lack of knowledge of the property and their single over-riding aim, to get you to hand over a security cheque 'to secure the property'.... I have been looking around for the last month or so, as I am planning on getting more bang for my buck, but these guys seem to be living in the past.. I am sick of people telling me that their client 'would never consider negotiating the price'.. Why do I always feel that its the agent not willing to negotiate on his fee..... |

..they are a waste of time.. and then they want a comission as well! Go for direct from owner if possible - it does need a drive around and looking at boards, but I will never pay one of those unprofessional crooks again

(Have to admit, if my agent decided to advertise my house in the UK by tying a split cardboard box to the balcony railings with string, then scrawling their mobile number on it in big, black felt tip, I wouldnt be paying 5 f**kin' %....) Which boards shoudl I check for 'direct from owner'.. Know ones for 1 bed shares, but havent seen many with 4 beds + study for rent... |

On driving around, all the bed sheets and bits of cardboard hanging off of gates and balconies, advertising properties, have been put there by the agent..

She moves in on Friday. :thumbup: |

Does anyone know if its possible to find out the actual owner of a property (Land Registry or something)? I have seen a property I want, but can't get any cuttings off of the rental agent. The feel gypes that call themselves rental agents are doing my head in and now I just want to talk to the organ grinders....
