What agent could do to change your mind?
Resolve complaints properly. I still have a badly fitted window pane (with too little putty) thanks to the renovators breaking my window-Salter Rex did not resolve this. I also ended up with a 250 pound charge from the lease holders two years ago because Salter Rex lost my money, this should have been paid by Salter Rex.
