    I thought it was just my system. Obviously NOT!
    In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:

    Is this an ironic post?

    I can only quote from my own experience, but the estate agents I used were so inept that I had to deal with my own viewings, negotiate the selling price, etc.

    I found that the estate agent was pushing for me to sell at a lower price because they wanted the sale to meet their targets, rather than because they felt the house was worth the initial offer. I held out and got an additional 5k on the sale. So much for their services :mad:

    So why did you stay with those agents? Simple swap agents tell them they are awful and why, job done!
    If you got a decorator round to decorate and they didn't do it, would you do it yourself and still pay!?
