SELLING YOUR HOUSE? NAME THE 5 MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO MAX YR PRICE

[adrianh]

So my experience tells me, most estate agents are worth it.

If you have had a bad experience with one, don't lump all of them into the same basket. Same as a dentist, lawyer etc etc

But the converse is also true:

If you have had a GOOD experience with ONE, don't lump all of them into the same basket. Same as a dentist, lawyer etc etc

Look, the point is this: Of course there are good people and bad people in any industry. How can one seperate the good people from the bad people up front without asking lots of questions? Yes, sometimes the questions are prevocative, but I would far rather discuss the questions in an open forum than find out R2mil down the line that my brand new second hand house has all sorts of issues that nobody takes responsibility for.

I agree with you 100%

It all depends if your glass is half empty or half full

In my experience the guy who's glass is half full always attracts the good ones
