Smash the cistern
We bought a house a couple of years ago. We were shown round by a nice, if slightly disinterested young lad in a badly fitting suit. I have absolutely no idea what car he drove or what type of phone he had. The rest of the deal was conducted with an agent via phone and email, I only met her when I went to pick up the keys. Again I have absolutely no idea what type of phone she had.
If my estate agent appeared too rich I think I'd question the amount of commission I was being charged. Does a fancy phone really sell a house? We were just buying a fairly ordinary 3 bed semi in suburbia, maybe it's different elsewhere...
Edit: Just realised I may be looking at this the wrong way. But when we bought our house we also sold one and I have no recollection whatsoever of the agent we used.
