I don't want to rain on your parade Michell, but I agree with Julie...I think all EA's are full of sh*t when they're trying to get you to sign up with them.
We've just hit the 6 week mark of our house being for sale and had 1 viewing so far. The EA couldn't be bothered to give us any feedback (we had to phone them after 3 weeks of hearing nothing). The EA phoned yesterday to book a viewing for Saturday which sounded very exciting, but when I asked for details of the potential buyer, they simply had no idea (didn't even know if they had their current house for sale). I told them they'd better find out, and when they got back to us, it was bad news - they don't even have their house up for sale yet. I asked them about 8 questions about the buyer, and they could only answer 2. I really didn't expect this amount of laziness and incompetence from EA's.
My biggest regret is signing up the EA for 3 months exclusive....assuming I can't break my 3 months contract early, I'll be changing agents as soon as my time is up and going for a much shorter term to give them something to focus on. It's absolutely amazing that EA's are just so thick that they can't realise that if you give someone good service, then they might not switch to a competitor. I know we're in a tough market which might explain the lack of results, but seriously....how lazy can they get?
I think it's time to name and shame these EA clowns.
