What agent could do to change your mind?
What a terrible experience!!! Be warned these 3 are total crooks. I ended up having to take legal action against them for withholding my deposit. James slammed the phone down on me, Beth promised my deposit back but a month went by and she lied through her teeth, and Dan Lyons, the supposed brains behind the operation is utterly useless! The dog is the most professional thing in the whole company!!!!! They moved a new student into my room before I had moved out!!! Awful people, terrible experience, filthy house, with no mod cons. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!
