read full review
What agent could do to change your mind?
As this viewing was originally arranged to fit their availability, I would expect them to make more of an effort to accommodate us when they decided to cancel with 15mins notice. Even if it meant someone working 15mins overtime, it would have been nice to see them put in the effort to remedy a situation they caused. Their total lack of desire to go the extra inch is absolutely underwhelming.
