    Great! Now that's really helped Leanne. If you start a thread like this then you have to expect a few negative posts! :rolleyes:
    My home is usually the House Buying, Renting and Selling Forum where I can be found trying to (sometimes unsucessfully) prove that not all Estate Agents are crooks. With 20 years experience of Sales/Lettings and having bought and sold many of my own properties I've usually got something to say ;)
    Ignore......check!

    Leanne - you work in a profession that rightly or wrongly has a poor reputation amongst the general public.

    Unfortunately your last post has confirmed the stereotype.

    Negative comments i can deal with. Not very nice questions i can deal with but when people start getting personal and appear to be being prats on purpose then i just dont want to do it.

    Im going to end up saying some things i may regret soon so i am just going to leave.

    Thank you for the stereotype. As I have said before, we advise and dont say 'you must and will sell your house for more than it is worth'. You are one of many people that believe this stereotype and yes, some do fit, but many dont- i for one dont!

    Just an example to you;we had a 3 bedroom house around the time for the crash, the other ones in the street had always sold for around 170k. This particular vendor was adament it was worth more. We declined and didnt take the house on- another agent did though and to my knowledge it still hasnt sold- just too much! People always want a bargain and whether an agent is involved or not, you will struggle to get top price as everyone likes a 'bargain'!!!

    I like to think of myself as a bit of a mediator as alsorts of problems can arise through dealing direct with someone.

    It is entirely up to you, but then I think i may be fair to say you are one of the dreaded vendors or purchasers we all love to hate.
    Well maybe we should consider how stereotypes are generated.
    They are usually formed through experiences of larger groups of individuals.
    Taking your example,those with vested interests cooked the market until it boiled and created an expectation of ever increasing returns. It is no wonder that the person in question still had that expectation.

    Now however estate agents naturally would like vendors to believe and realise that the bubble has burst and that they need to make readjustments to their expectations. If they dont,houses dont sell and EAs dont make money.

    Of course homeowners have been complicit but to some extent they have also been powerless victims of the system.

    For the record,although i have had experience of EAs,i have never actually traded a property via one of them.

    I'm sure there are some good,honest ones around somewhere.
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Leanne - your last few posts with swearing and dreadful 'text speak' have made you lose all credibility as far as I am concerned.
