Hi Immy21,
I do know were your coming from as I too am in an industry that is directly affected by the housing market and the bottom line is that people started running out of money when interest rates started rising in August 2003 onwards.......... BUT in my experience and many other peoples experience many Estate Agents don't do themselves or their reputation any justice. Not saying that applies to them all but you hardly hear people jumping up and down about how 'good' their agent is and 'try these they were fantastic'.
As with everything in life there are good and bad companies in any industry and my experience of Estate Agents isn't the greatest. Of course they don't have a magic wand but they should have common courtesy in keeping people updated on a regular basis about what is going on and advising them on how to improve their chances of selling. That opinion is based on 4 estate agents or maybe I'm just unlucky at choosing them!
