Everyone thinks they can do our job.
"Just whack it on Rightmove."
"Stick a board up and wait."
They don’t see the vendors ghosting you after three weeks of updates.
They don’t see the buyers lying through their teeth.
They don’t see the solicitor who disappears for five days when the deal's on the brink.
They don’t see the late nights, the broken chains, the listings stolen by agents who promise the moon for £500.
They just think we’re overpaid house-tour guides.
But here's what they really don’t see:
You chasing updates at 7am.
You calming a panicked vendor at 9pm.
You fighting to hold a deal together when everyone else has given up.
That’s the job.
Not glamorous. Not easy. Not for the faint-hearted.
But it’s ours.
And we don’t quit.
