Estate agents

[DimPrawn]

What is it in this country with Estate Agents.

Every other country in the world can provide the following basic information. Plot size (sq/m or acres), covered area (sq/m).

Not here, all you get is "large sunny garden" or "substantial plot" or "deceptively spacious".

FFS, it can't be that hard can it?

They don't know anything about the business in general, or the specific items they are selling. They just punt large numbers of potential sales at any likely buyer, hoping that they'll happen to be the agent that "has" the property that the buyer finally takes, then they cream off a huge chunk of money for doing bugger all, while taking no responsibility for the quality of the sale.

One Agent is much like another Agent.

It's simple. You wouldn't want to advertise a 400 sq. ft. or 40 sq. m. flat would you? Far better to say "deceptively spacious".
