Spencers Seven
Deadly Sins!
What other Agents
get VERY wrong
(in our very humble
opinion!)
Lust – some very naughty agents lust after property SO much that they convince a
vendor to sell to them off the market, which goes against all of an agent’s normal
advice and principals. If an agent tries to buy from you off market, make sure
you get a second opinion from another party to ensure you aren’t being diddled!
Gluttony – too much of a good thing is certainly not good for the soul. Taking on
volumes of properties that your staff can’t properly manage will not make you
very popular! We take on an exacting number of properties by cherry picking the
ones we really want so that our staff are never overloaded and you will always
get the very best service.
Greed – some agents will tell you that your house is worth A LOT of money just to
get the instruction. I will never forget what a competing agent said to me when
I challenged him on this, “better unsold on our wall than sold on someone
else’s”. If you think they are telling you your house is worth too much money,
they probably are!
Sloth – some agents are incredibly lazy. I viewed three properties recently after
requesting to see TEN via Rightmove. I only viewed three because only three out
of the ten agents came back to me to book me in and I await a call from the
other seven! Out of those three, NONE of the agents have called me for
feedback! Make sure you do your research into an agent’s service and don’t just
take their word for it!
Wrath – Spencers stay out of Agent v Agent mudslinging. Because we are based out
of the way of the war at Banner Cross we don’t tend to find other agents
slating us for fun to try to make themselves look better. Now, now, big boys,
if you have nothing nice to say………..
Envy – they say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and we have had
our share of other agents who have wanted to copy our name / ideas / style.
Well, we can honestly say that we are
flattered, thank you for thinking we are so dangerous to your business!
Pride – no one likes a bragger. You may have the biggest car, the most expensive
house, the custom made suit….but did you make someone smile today? Did you make
someone feel like they should drop you in a nice card to say Thank You? I know
what gives us the greater sense of satisfaction
