I was a little more than shocked
I was a little more than shocked, about the conversation I had with one of your agents. My intention was to speak directly and upfront with him, rather than by email, to clarify details that, (as far as I was concerned), were not unreasonable to ask. Instead, your agent, was straight away pumped up and offended, that I should dare ask anything of him, without any hesitation he was speaking over me. I am sure he would definitely be placed in the World Book of Records, for giving the longest ‘lecture’, without breathing. He, (oh so delicately), started telling me the following: *That he’d been in the business for twenty years, and knew what he was talking about – how on earth he lasted so long I have no idea! *All my questions had been answered – I’m not his friend, so what was I calling for? Clarification maybe to questions that still remained? *A surveyor would have a degree, and would be able to know what needed to be done in the property – Now that’s a surprise!!!! *An invoice with a different name doesn’t mean anything, it had nothing to do with the sale of the property, so why was I so interested. If it were him, he wouldn’t see it as any of his business to find who he was dealing with – that may be so, but this was my business not his! *That I was over thinking things – It’s called being cautious, maybe he didn’t understand that and maybe he had more money than…. *Did I want to buy the property or not, because I was wasting the vendor’s time! – Was I really wasting her time? Unfortunately, I had asked several times from the very beginning of the process, for the very least an email/ something, (the agent was calling it a Memorandum of Sale) , to show that my offer had been accepted, to show good faith on the vendor’s part. Finally, the questions that I was going to ask (if given CHANCE), was why was the property: 1. Still on the market months later, with no STC, if my offer had been accepted? 2. Still with the old incorrect description, that had been pointed out on the first day of my viewing the property? Is this not fraudulent? This agent was: Self righteous, rude, condescending, abrupt, arrogant, pushy, disrespectful and impatient, oh sorry, I almost forgot UNPROFESSIONAL. As I had this conversation on loud speaker, it was heard by a colleague, who immediately was so disgusted by his conduct, that she made her own compliant. I was actually concerned about with this, but with second thoughts, I did expect better, wouldn’t anybody else? To ask questions, maybe frustrating, but how else do you find answers? Things started well, but soon changed, when I was given this other agent, up to now do not know what happened to the first!
