I think I've fallen in hate.

We have just moved house. Our real estate agent has said she will not release our bond until we have dusted the inside of the letterbox.

She called me "Darl" (twice) in a voice reminiscent of Julie Robinson from early Neighbours. Her name is "Narelle".

The inside of the letterbox?

God it sounds like my real estate agent. Yours isn't someone called Justine is it? ;)

She did an inspection without telling me, once, the bitch (I know thats not legal, but its a long story). SHe walked around making snotty rude comments about the mess, even though I went to great pains to point out the place WAS messy, because I GOT NO WARNING.

I loathe estate agencies with all I can muster.

Yes, the inside of the letterbox.

I hate petty people.

Trayce, mine isn't the same person as yours but she is the same class of bitch exactly.

There must be something about that job that attracts a certain personality-type. I've never had a landlord or real estate agent who has been pleasant to deal with.

I had one try to not refund my cleaning deposit because the deck was covered with leaves. I pointed-out that it had been clean when I left, but that it *was* the fall and that it *had* taken her over a week to do the walk-through. She eventually backed-down, but it was not fun.

Hey, guys! Remember me? I have a real estate license. How's it goin'? I think I'm a good people person. Can't say that much for my boss though (I'm his assistant)... He's a bit... errr... grouchy sometimes? In it for the money? (What else could I say to get myself fired... hmmm...)
But no, I think I make the experience a lot better for his clients.

grrr...

Do you own a pinstripe suit and a BMW mini?

― Ed (dali), Monday, 24 February 2003 16:29 (twenty-three years ago)

OK so they are the only qulifications you require to be an estate agent in the UK and the mini comes free witht the job.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 24 February 2003 16:30 (twenty-three years ago)

I am in the US. I drive a used '95 Toyota Corrola. I own no suits at all, much less pinstripe suits. I am salaried, so I don't get any commission. The only people that should wear pinstripe suits are new wave performers.

or IBM managers.

You sound untainted then. To be an estate agent int he uk you have to be a shill and a schyster of the highest order, there is no regulation and only a duty to tell the approximate truth. Any spiv can get himself a shop front and call himself and estate agent and employ a looad of no brain 18 year old underlings to do his dirty work for them.

(PS Salary after one year at Foxtons is £70,000 plus mini)

"To be an estate agent int he uk"

It's different in Scotland tho.

sorry should have said England and Wales, or the Badlands.
