Frankly, dude, I think it's you who is out of line here.dresch wrote:We spoke on the phone last Thursday, could have been Friday (hey, it could have even been Wednesday), and it was patently clear that I would be looking at apartments, Saturday week.
I guess you were on the piss then as well? You don't know what day you called her? Do you have any idea of what country you are currently in?
As such I had requested that Saturday week we be in a position to look at an array of apartments with a general description of what I wanted, 2BR, between 4-5k pcm. Anywhere between Novena to Bishan, Farrer Park to Serangoon, Lavender to Tanah Merah.
I provided the details Sunday. Constant correspondence back and forth all week. "oh Yes, I will make all of Saturday available to you".
So, she didn't have a clue until Sunday the details. (but you may have called her as early as the Wednesday BEFORE Sunday but cannot remember. Conveniently) What? Is she supposed to be a mind reader?
Fast forward three days, and she can only arrange midweek bookings.
Fast reverse, it took you thee days to give her details........
Hey, if you have a client with a bigger budget who wants to go looking Saturday that's cool. Just be honest about it.
Mate I have spent 10+ hours doing my research (I'm sure its probably more than that) on a limited budget. I don't have an ego, and am usually sympathetic to people who work in tough industries. But if you work in a tough industry, don't throw out comments such as "oh I'll make all of Saturday available to you" and then start shifting arrangements because a bigger account comes along.JR8 wrote:dresch wrote: I hate people in real estate.

I feel sorry for people who profess to 'hate' estate agents, and need to find scape-goats for their own ignorance and foolishness.
It is usually those so wilfully dumb and 'out of the game' who report this, it is they if anyone, that get led around by the nose, and then later complain.
(I used to date an estate agent/realtor, and sit in at her office on weekends 'jus hanging out', using their PCs and stuff, .... most applicants really are sitting muppets... You'd be amazed how 9/10 people don't know how or where to spend a £1mm [Spazza zone...'I have a million (yah, driblbe) want to spend in west London (dribble) tell me where to spend it (I work 14 hrs a day alright, don't you know just tell me!' and so on and so on... )

My suspicion is, the few units that she wanted to arrange the viewing, the tenants are not willing to "hang around" on weekends for people to view.dresch wrote: a. I checked my phone records, it was Wednesday last week.
b. We spoke for the best part of 25 mintues on the phone, but because I'm not particular eloquent I said I would summarise these details via email. I did this on Sunday. Admittedly I would have liked to send this sooner. But as much as it was delayed, she already had a rough idea of our expectations, and further by Sunday she had a complete background to our needs/wants/sacirifices.
c. Yesterday she tells me she has reserved 'all of Saturday for us' to which I said great, lunch and dinner is on us if she is free. Fast forward 24 hours and unfortunately she is unable to arrange viewings for anything this weekend, are we available midweek?
Give me a break. There are loads of f--- heads and egos both in this city, and on this forum. I am not one of them.
actually the people here voicing out what they know and been through, not one here defends the Real Estate Industry per se, to state the leastdresch wrote:Haha. I'm not going to make a complaint, that would be over the top.
I just wanted to come on here and have a moan, but the great defenders of the real estate industry won't let me do that!
