Too honest EA shocker!

An EA who is too honest... Must have been some genetic c0q up back in the lab...

I'm baffled by some of the responses. When I went to the EA to ask for a viewing on my current house she grabbed a random file and said "Oo there's been loads of interest in that one, and we've just had the first offer in! Very keen young lady, all set to go..." I didn't believe a word of it, but that's the kind of 'diplomacy' I'd want from an EA!:D

On a totally unrelated topic, anyone for a few games of poker? Perhaps the OP could pass the invite to the EA?

You didn't believe any of it, so how useful was it, this "diplomacy" you speak of?

This thread makes me smile. So many threads on here complaining that everything an EA says is a lie and you cant trust them then one honest one comes along and everyone slags them off for not doing their job properly...

so basically OP you have an overpriced house, not much in viewings/offers and your complaining about the EA?


The EA seems honest and someone I would use given their integrity. You have to be realistic and ask yourself why there have not been many offers or viewings?? it's not the EA's fault you wanted to max your profit unrealisticlly

To be fair EA`s would have been actively encouraging this a few years ago, it is just that being at the coal face so to speak they can see how the market is deteriorating before deluded sellers can.

There's a house a few doors along from us that's on for offers over £280k. It's on as a 4 bed cos they've halved the attic and made a fourth bedroom up there. It is nicely presented, and the kitchen is an extension, but is that really worth double the money?

That's too harsh csgohan4. We're not looking to max our profit unrealistically, the house is on for a reasonable price. However we're not holding out for full AP, as I've repeatedly said.

I'm not complaining, I asked for thoughts given what the EA told a prospective buyer. Where you see integrity, I see a lower offer coming in. Honesty is one thing, but as we're paying the bill it shouldn't put us at a (possible) disadvantage. They're meant to work for us aren't they.

If you had a higher offer though you wouldn`t be complaining? People are not entirely stupid, they don`t need an EA to hold their hand all the way, they can see value or otherwise from your Rightmove ad and from viewing the house, so my guess is that the house is just over-priced and what the EA said or didn`t say is not that big a deal.
