Remember you are after their money not their friendship. Sometimes their comments make sense and you can do something about them.You definitely don't want to be ripping up floorboards or digging up patios at any of Brillopads ex-houses.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostI have shown buyers round ever house I have sold. Never received any ridiculous comments. Sometimes people have "misunderstandings" and I have been able to correct those.
Maybe the agent details are misleading? More photos required?
