The British Public Doesnt Like Estate Agents—And Here’s Why

Estate agents have the worst reputation of any profession. Lower than journalists. Lower than politicians.

Why? Because so many of us overpromise, underdeliver, and disappear the moment they’ve been paid.

Sellers deal with their agent daily for weeks—then, after completion, never hear from them again.

No follow up, no relationship building, just a silent exit.

If estate agents actually cared about their clients, they’d stay in touch.

Remember, half of the sales that have taken place in the UK in the last 12 months. The homeowners have only been in the home no more than 5 1/2 years, yet only one in eight of them went back to the original agent, they bought the house off

But they don’t. They take the money and run. And that’s why nobody trusts them.
