Buyers are Liars!!

Inspired by a couple of recent events.... Buyers are liars!! That old estate agency phrase I have heard so many times along with the classic "they don't really know what they want, you have to tell them" phrase from the gin-addled sales managers of yesteryear.

However, there is unfortunately an element of truth to this and as anyone who has dealt with a liar will testify, it is infuriating! Be honest in your dealings and if you agree something with a vendor, stick to it! That's one rant dealt with.

Now, the worst lie (and a pet hate of mine) is the one that never gets told. The clients who confirm an appointment then simply don't turn up. No phone call, no e-mail, no excuse and I never hear from them again. I honestly wouldn't care if they called me at the time of the appointment to cancel instead of leaving me to hang about for an hour just in case they are running late and cannot call for some reason. I know I'm just an estate agent but a little common courtesy is not too much to ask.
