Estate agent hate

Is it just me that dislikes Estate Agents? I think I dislike them more than recruitment companies.

It's just not just me is it?

One yesterday had "double booked" to make the house look in demand.

    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.
  • I'm with you. The ones I have dealt with have been awful. I'm sure there are good ones out there. When I find one, or if you find one first, seal them in a jar so they can be put to good use in the future...

    All regular folks, like you and me, trying to earn a crust to keep a roof over their heads, and put food on the table for them and their families.

    As are the Estate Agents.

    Yeah fair point. I know a crack dealer that is doing the same, selling to kids no less.....

    But as you say, to be fair, just trying to feed and shelter their children.....
  • Estate Agents are leeches.
