Negotiate on their percentage. If they quote 2 1/2% of the sale price offer half that saying you are considering selling privately if you can't agree a fee.

They do next to nothing for the money anyway, apart from sticking a photo in their window and you could do that yourself.

Useful tip to anyone selling a house is to bake some fresh homemade bread and brew some real coffee before a viewing.

Even if you dont like these things yourself, doing it will at least show that you are playing the game.

don't do that. it's such a cliche and doesn't work.

we went to see a house where the bread maker was on in the kitchen and the estate agent said 'oh, wow, they're baking bread, isn't that nice?!'

didn't stop us from noticing the huge crack in the wall in the lounge on the way to the kitchen or stop us from leaving quickly.

2½%! That'd be nearly 9 grand!! :tongue:

Viewing wasn't good, as the wife liked the house, but her husband didn't. I found this a little strange because he wasn't there!

Latest advice is to have 2 friends sh@gging in the bedroom, so the buyer is subliminally aware of the possibility of themselves having a sh@g once they've bought the place. Possibly. So I heard.... :thumbsdown:

Point out that there's a good dogging place only fifty yards away.














Next to the needle exchange. :smile:

Whilst selling our last house, we had a gynecologist come for a veiwing.
He didn't come in through, he just looked through the letterbox;)

Did he stick his hand through?
