Estate agents earn thousands for doing nothing.
Really?
Let me tell you about the nothing.
The nothing is working twelve hours straight to save a collapsing chain.
The nothing is being screamed at by a vendor because the surveyor found damp.
The nothing is chasing a solicitor who hasn’t answered their phone in three weeks.
The nothing is absorbing every ounce of blame when something out of your control goes wrong.
The nothing is why you get paid when you slogged your guys out for months juggling a chain, solicitors, buyers, mortgage arrangers and other agents, all for it to go t*ts up a day before exchnage becuase a solicit at the bottom of the chain forget to check something
That fee everyone thinks is outrageous?
It isn’t
And that Neg is being paid no more than minimum wage and will earn no more than 50 quid commission after tax
For all that 💩, that doesn’t even cover the cost of your sanity.
