Our house is up for sale and thus I am presently enjoying the nightmare that is showing your residence to strangers.
Despite being accompanied by the Estate Agent, people still have a nack of driving you mental!
We had agreed to two viewings today: - one in the morning and one in the late afternoon. My wife ran around this morning getting the house looking tip-top (it always does but for some reason, it has to get a second clean <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> ). She then takes my young daughter out in the car, while the viewing is on.
First viewing at 10:30: -
Estate agent arrives at 10:20 - great - has a look around the house. The 'buyer' still hasn't arrived at 10:45, so the agent phones the office - no message. He tells me how he's booked his whole day around this buyer and can't imagine why he's late. He calls the buyers mobile - no answer! Home - no answer! At 11:15 he gives up - begs for forgiveness and leaves
A great waste of a Saturday morning <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
Afternoon - 4:00 viewing.
People arrive 10-minutes late! AND in a posse format!
Parents, 4 kids, grandparents! WTH?!? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cussing.gif" alt="" />
Is this a day out for you, a sightseeing tour or are you looking to buy a house?!?
Ah the joys of trying to sell you house <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
