Reply to: House Selling Woes

our buyers were polite to our face, then bought it and ripped it up.

My wife was horrified as we had done lots of work that people had been impressed by.

I was pragmatic, we had sold it and had the money to buy a much bigger place in a nice little close.

With estate agents you can giggle about people's "interesting" decor with the owners you have to pretend you love it, when in reality you know what's going.

When is your baby due I asked

Buyer - I'm not pregnant

Maybe, but some people are just plain rude

No they ain't, you ****!

I 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?

Yeah, but you were dressed like Batman

in that case, remember they are buying your old cast off house so you can buy a bigger one

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.

Not on CUK.

Possibly but all the floor plans are there & there are about 20 pics on RightMove.

It just seems that some people struggle with the concept of a cottage. Which is exactly how it is marketed.

Not the ManShack?

It was probably too soiled for further use...

no the last house.

you are probably right, the wife keeps complaining about the splinters she gets.
