Refuse to book viewings on the telephone
Having accepted an offer on our property I am viewing new properties to purchase. Having seen a particular one listed by this estate agent I called them to book a viewing. Between travel and work commitments my self and partner have limited time together to view properties and while we were both together to be able to book I called their office. The gentleman that answered while polite refused point blank to book in a viewing and instead sent me away to email them through a 3rd party website to book the viewing. This seams absolutely crazy to me and amazing terrible service. You have a serious customer on the phone wanting to view and buy a property and you turn them away. He told me that's just how the system is and they are working their way through the emails. I asked him why bother listing your phone number then and he said they had to! Was I not so interested the property I would have given up. I hope all the sellers through this estate realise they are actively turning away potential buyers!
