I recently viewed two 3 beds in Blanchardstown with a view to purchasing. I requested a viewing on two different occassions and the agent never replied. After a month of trying we finally got to view.
Both places we viewed with the agent were occupied when we were viewing... there was a couple cooking their dinner, children playing in bedrooms, one woman getting dressed when we walked in!?
All of the curtains were closed in both houses and the lights were on (it was 7pm and still bright outside), so we couldn't ascertain how bright/dark the properties were. We were given 5 minutes in each house and there were was one room we just looked in to and couldn't enter.
When I told the agent that the viewing wasn't adequate to base an offer on he got really aggressive and said he'd bought 7 properties himself without ever viewing at all. To quote him:
'Are you telling me how to do my job?'
'I have better things to be doing with my time than talking to you'
'Do you want to see upstairs or not?'
He got really aggressive and insisted on arguing.
It probably explains why his properties have been on the market for 6 months and the equivalent around the corner sold within 3 weeks this month. I'd be curious to know if the owners know what bad service he is providing.bHe doesn't seem to be a member of the IAVI. Are there any other standards that he should be bound to?
Thanks
