Just noticed your avatar. Stones best bitter! Haven't had that in a long time. It used to be a favourite of mine when I was a kid just getting into beer. Wonder what it tastes like now.

I didnt want to ask that question in case I already knew the answer that I didnt want to hear..
 
After working in the real estate sign industy the past few months in my new job I cannot believe how ******* dumb real estate agents can be. I mean some of the things they ask us to do blow me away.
Example. They have a picket fence four foot wide with a mailbox above it and order a board that's 6 foot wide x 8 foot high to go up against this fence. How is the owner supposed to get his mail? Cut a whole in the board where the mailbox goes?

Order a board for a house which has a brick rendered fence across its front boundary and say the board must be free standing and cannot touch the fence. How? Not possible.

Order a board size thats twice the size of the area it can fit in then crack the shits when we can't fit a 8 foot wide board against a property boundary that's only 5 foot wide

Say that they want a board installed across the driveway, but please don't block vehicle access into the driveway.

Order a board 12 foot by 12 foot and want it bolted to a building wall 15 foot in the air but don't drill holes into the wall.

The list goes on. Seriously this is all just common sense shit of which they seem to have none. /rant over.
 
Not just regular dumb either, ******* dumb.
Thats like dumb x 3. At least.
 
Ease up on real estate agents man. Some of them are.......no you're right, go ahead.
Inhuman, stupid, useless piles of over cosmetified, shit talking carbuncles on the backside of humanity.

Years ago I missed out on a house at auction, it went for $7000 more than I'd offered them 4 months earlier, I found out at the agent had never put my offer to the vendors, I wasn't happy, neither were they as they'd paid for four months of advertising and associated B.S. The silver lining was at the auction I met a guy who owned a house up the street who was thinking of selling, he said he'd been weighing it up for I while and I was welcome to look, I made him an offer a few days later he accepted and boom I'm a home owner. The same land rat a few days after settlement rings me and calmly explains that he'd valued the house 8 months earlier, and that as I'd met the seller at his auction, the sale and agreed value could never have happened without his intervention. He then informs me that he there for will be invoicing his services and that he will need to be paid his commission. Once I got my jaw off the floor I gave him probably the biggest spray I've ever given another human and hung up.
I told everyone I knew and his small local land rat business was gone within two years.
Sorry if you are a land rat, but I agree with Manticles sentiments. No one likes you.
 
A mate of mine got sick of being outbid when he was looking to buy. In the end he said to the real estate agent of one property: "I'll give you $500 cash if you tell me what figure to offer." Boom, by the end of the day the agent convinced the owners to accept. Snakes.
 
Stand on their necks until they stop wiggling. Did you know that the Melbourne Weekly RE rag was conceived as a way to turn property investing into a hobby, as a means of driving up prices and therefore commissions. The agents are hot and heavy in our area, house to house visits with little gifts, all in the name of making an area popular to buy in so they make more money. They don't give a **** about the health of the economy, long as they have their eurotrash cars.

I stopped reading " how dumb are real estate agents"[/quote

1. They make shed loads of money, drive fancy cars, kids go to private schools ...
2. They do FA
3. They know FA about anything
4. You really want to punch them, even the blonde with legs that go on forever that fawns over you at the open house
4. A trained baboon could co a better job
...etc

But then theres point 1, so maybe it's me that's dumb?

They dont always make shit loads of money....

When houses arnt selling they dont make anything
 
but still....their comisions are bullshit considering the vendor has to pay for all the advertising etc
 
Out of curiosity we had our place valued ( 7 yrs ago ) we told the agent it was not for sale and again the valuation was purely curiosity
Well bugger me if they didn't pester the shit out of us,letters phone calls the whole works.
It stopped when I had had a gut full,walked into their office and reminded them of the reason and told them if it didn't stop I'd have them for harassment .
They reacted as if had called their mothers #%^*s and claimed no such thing had happened, " I've got all the letters you send " soon shut them up.
The looks on everyone's faces in that office that day was priceless .
 
It's not as if real estate agents can actually give "valuations".
To do that, you must be a registered licensed valuer.
Real estate agents can only give what they call "market appraisals".
 
I have a real estate principle mate. Sales in Sydney are ridiculous. Two weekends ago, he was auctioning an original 1920's home that had an outside dunny, never been reno'd and had been vacant for the last 14 years. His words "a shitbox"
Showed more than 150 people through it. He advised the owner to put $900k on it as reserve. He was getting bribes all over the place. One guy offered him $20k cash to convince the seller to sell prior for $1.1million.
At least he knocked all the bribes back. I'll have to find out if/what it sold for.

Well..

I remember one day going into one of the wings at Kempsey Jail to fix the inmate phone out in the yard, which meant walking thru the pod.

On walking thru, one of the inmates asked " mate..are you here to fill the condom machine..."....that is a true story.

Was told about fixing sewing machines in jail take a new pack of cigarettes take one out and leave the packet on the table quickest way to find out whats wrong.
