Example 1: showed interest in a property last week. Five further phone calls to chase a viewing. We had taken the effort to drive there to make sure we were happy with the area and the exterior. Further phone calls yesterday trying again to get an appointment to view. Got a call back this morning to let me know an offer had been made last night so it was off the market! Why then was I unable to get a viewing a week ago?
What astonished me even more, there was no politeness about it. No asking can we keep your details on file, sir? Can I just check that we are looking for the correct property type? Are there any other areas or villages you would consider? Nothing.
Example 2: another 40 mile round trip to check area, exterior, etc. Different agent. Called up to arrange a viewing. Is your house on the market? Yes. Is it sold? Not yet. Oh, we can’t help with viewings until it’s sold. Really? So I sell, then due time pressure I’m forced to buy a property that’s not ideal, or I rent, so I’m not able to move for up to 6 months anyway! FFS!
Example 3: similar to number 2, won’t allow viewings until you have an offer on your current property, but we can send you a video tour....
All those I’ve spoken to have not really come over as friendly, or professional. Or give a stuff
I know I could do better. Maybe I will.
