🗞️ This guy is lucky he didn’t end up on the front cover of a newspaper or a viral story on social media. He’s also lucky he didn’t lose his job, business and reputation.
🙁It might sound obvious, however I know of some agents who have done things like this.
🏠 Recently a friend of mine in the UK, had a property to sell and listed with an agent.
🎯 She went to a lot of trouble to try and choose the Agent she felt comfortable with and she thought she had made a good choice. 💪
He seemed active on social media. He seemed like he was trying hard, and he seemed genuine. 🤷♀️
⬇️That soon turned for the worse.
❌On a number of occasions, he told her he was taking buyers through the property.
🤥He then gave her feedback based on what those buyers had said.
😤 He even said that buyers were going to have inspections done on the property with the view to purchase it.
🎥 He didn’t know that my friend had security cameras both inside and outside the property.
🎥 ✅ It was even declared that the security cameras were to stay with the Property. So he should have known there were security cameras there.
😑He lied to the vendor and told her she had buyers interested.
🛑 But
It didn’t stop there.
😮💨Another agent took a buyer through the property, and my friend could not believe what she heard the Agent say.
She had a deposit on the property previously, and that sale fell through.
The vendor did get to keep some of that deposit.
But…
This was nobody’s business, but the vendor and the buyer.
During the buyer inspection the agent told the buyer that they could possibly negotiate a lower sales price, due to the fact that the vendor had had a sale fall through and that they had kept some of the deposit!
No!!
Agents employed by the vendor, must work for the owner of the property.
Always act like you have a camera on you, because most of the time you probably will.
