Any Estate Agents on here?

[Biscuit]

Who would like to explain to me why every single estate agent I've ever met is a f***ing useless inept CUNT?

I know I'm only RENTING so they give me the new boys with the open pink shirts, cheap aftershave and SPORTS Peugeot - I dare say you may be given someone half useful if you are actually buying? But f*** me what a half baked bunch of BELLENDS.

f***ing 3 flats I arranged to see last weekend and when I arrive at the property to view it, no sign of anyone. I call the **** and he's still in bed. "Oh sorry mate, give me half an hour I'll be right down." NO. I WON'T. f*** YOU. WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU GET PAID FOR YOU CLUELESS PRICK? IF I ACTED LIKE THIS IN MY JOB I'D GET SACKED. INSTANTLY.

*and breath*

Lots of Estate Agents are in danger of going bust because of their inability to sell houses at the inflated valuations they are putting on them.
So, as an easy option many have turned to becoming letting agents, and there will be times when their inexperience will show.

If you are going to an estate agent to get a property to let then that is your problem. It's a bit like going to a plumber for electric work.

Estate agents generally are crap at letting. Go to a specialist letting agent.

Hahahahaha classic post about the pink shirt, I bet if i rang my mate up now and asked him what colour shirt he has on it would be pink

 

[Kumquat]

Brilliant - what is it about th epink shirts - it' so true, they must be told it somehow puts the punter at ease or something. Tho as you say not turning up tends to be a bigger influence on me too.

In my experience it's not limited to letting agents, I've come across many an incompetent tw@ when viewing houses for sale. I have dealt with some good ones, but they tend to be in the minority.

Very true. Real estate agents are generally the lowest of the low, weasels who have very little sales skills and whose main purpose is to facilitate the complicated process of transferring ownership of property, while earning a nice commission on the asset of someone else like a blood sucking parasite. I can't think of many professions that deserve less respect.

You forgot to mention that the pink shirt is combined with an ill fitting suit with trousers that clearly need turning up and if they have gone to the effort of wearing a tie it will be done up in the "Premiership Footballer" knot.

No doubt if you do decide to go for one of their places they will charge you a shedload of fees to cover the incompetence and time wasting.

And they're always so bloody chuffed to have a work car and laptop and lord it around holding their mobile while talking into the handsfee thingy - I mean what is the point? The men all have that STUPID windswept hair and I think it's illegal for the women not to have long nails and peroxide hair. Oh and to answer every single question I have about the flat with 'Errrrmmmm well I don't know acts-uallyy.' I read the description of the flat online and knew more about it. Seriously.

One guy I saw last week, younger than me (and I'm 24) was wearing fake tan. That's not right, is it?

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

as i said biscuit , it attracts a certain "type" ,fake tans you couldn't make it up

I have a good friend who is an excellent estate agent, doubt he'd be interested in renting you a flat though, he's too busy selling a house to Malouda. The more upmarket you go the better the estate agent becomes I think you'll find.

 

[Dickyboy]

Yes I've been an Estate Agent for Twenty years must admit i am running low on the pink shirts.

They're all cityboy wannabe's.

and what about recruitment consultants while we are at it!

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Go to a specialist letting agent.

No, no don't. Go to a private landlord and save yourself a packet.

Surely they are annoying enough to have their own thread, my annoyance list goes:

1. Chuggers
2. Recruitment Consultants
3. Estate Agents
