What agent could do to change your mind?
The agent should have given us the opportunity as planned to view the property. If the original viewing had to be cancelled then as they promised to do they should have arranged another viewing. They need to prove that they acted in the best interest of their client (which seems doubtful given our ability to view anytime).
