What agent could do to change your mind?
Could have communicated effectively, timely and honestly. Taken a less aggressive attitude when proven wrong. Taken responsibility for shortcomings and actioned Property Particulars much faster and in line with their own "Black and White 9 point Customer Service Promise".
