There's limited supply and lots of demand. The seller is their customer, not the buyer.After an experience today, I'm wondering apropos this thread title.
A local estate agent only occasionally replies to email/Daft/MyHome enquiries about properties they are selling.
Upon meeting the agent today, I mentioned this and their reply was "you do send a lot of emails", made no apology for not replying to said emails, went on about how many emails they have to deal with and said it's better to pick up the phone (there is often no answer and no return of call when a message is left).
I don't know how we've got to this stage (again) and whether it can last.
Thoughts?

I agree. Professionalism from professionals is as hit and miss as it is from people in any other job.I realise that.
It doesn't negate basic professional courtesy and makes for an interesting concept that this is discretionary and based upon the "need" to provide it.
There are two issues they are interested in. Do you want to view the property? Having done so, do you want to bid on the property.enquiries about properties they are selling.
The hard work is competing with other Estate Agents to engage the client. After that the property sells itself.EAs don't have to work for their money in this market, and don't spend too much time sitting around the office. They much rather do their talking over the phone where they can get a better sense if whether you are serious about buying a particular property.
