Because you've got the wrong agent or if you have you aren't listening to their advice. (£) thetimes.co.uk/article/why-is…

Just exchanged on a stunner at £400k OVER asking price after a big negotiation battle.
Great result for our client from £1.8m up to £2.2m, exchanged in 6 weeks. Dead chuffed.
Vendor is now disputing my 1.5% (+VAT) fee. #ffs

Offer of £986,436 received this morning on an “OIEO £1m” house.
Me: “that’s a very specific number, are you aware that it’s OIEO £1m?”
“I thought a strange number might make it look considered. Can you put it to them and see what they say?”🤦♂️

@eabanter Or the time the vendor prepared for an open day by shrink the wrapping furniture (as viewers will be dirty) and locking doors of rooms she considered “too private”.

Gather around my digital camp fire and tell me about your craziest estate agency related stories!
From bitchy buyers and violent vendors to colosally crap colleagues ⬇️

@eabanter Or the time I sat with a land owner as a surveyor was chased around a field by a curious Ostrich. I often wonder whether he ever got his camera back.

@eabanter Love this. Some fab stories here. For me, it was the three hour Mexican standoff whilst armed police “ensuring” key release took place. Happy memories.

I cannot stand people who swear to you that they are the best buyers and should be trusted but then end up pulling out. @est_hate @eabanter @ACountryAgent @mrangryagent

We've got 21 people looking to view this guys house and he only wants 2 an hour because he's got a very skittish cat

@ashridgepf I’ve found its best not to grow attached to them or bother learning their names. Some I’ve never even had the chance to meet or talk to over the years!

@Emma_FPR Is 14,000sqft big enough for all those egos?

Well what do you know - #TheApprentice house is Huxley House - the one that they couldn’t sell on last night’s #mostexpensivehouses

Can’t believe that after all these years of being a fan of @TempestAnnie I’ve only just discovered this… giggles for hours.
I suspect some of my lot would make fab characters!🤔

@notyour00agent @eabanter A personal favourite is:
“Hi, it’s Nick. We spoke before Christmas, can you call me back on my mobile. Thanks”
Because we only know one Nick.

@CarolLewis101 Being smack bang between the two divides I’d love to help but signal is too poor in this pub. 🥂
Merry Christmas to you @CarolLewis101 and thanks for your support this year. 😊👍

Would anyone in the property industry like to comment on the closing of the North/South divide in property prices? Surely someone is still working #journorequest
