To say I was shown around the property I was interested in would be hyperbole. Dawn Teggert literally stood in a corner and acted as if she couldn't wait to get us out of her sight. I understand that landlords have requirements and we may not always meet them (even if we are earning what I suppose is - from my liasons with other agents - the standard 2 1/2 times the monthly rent per month and even offered 6 months' rent in advance, plus a guarantor). She said that was not enough. Would you like us to be millionaires for a bog standard 395 pcm terrace? But if that is the case, refuse us outright and don't humiliate us. To be treated as if we are liars or unreliable is uncalled for. I have never met an estate agent like her and I have met a few. Prospective tenants are human. Just because we are looking for homes with less than perfect credentials it doesn't mean we don't still have our dignity. There are nicer ways to go about doing your background inquisition. If you don't have basic people skills, I'm surprised you managed 20 odd years in the industry. I hope, Dawn, that someday the shoe is on the other foot.
Comment on agent fees
Expensive admin fees. Quite extortionate when you compare with other agencies in Durham.
