| Comment | nearly everyone who has tried to buy in Glasgow/Edinburgh has been that last person at some point and had to waste their time going through the process to learn better. The undermarketing system is stupid, doesn't even achieve what it tries to (because, believe it or not, people know how much money they have to spend on a house) and as I say it achieves absolutely nothing but wasting people's time as they have to request home reports to find out what the valuation is.
It doesn't really matter if everyone is 'on the same page' because there's no consistent undervaluation - it can be 90%, 80% even 70% depending on how big a cunts the estate agents are, again just wasting time because you have no idea from the listing how much the valuation is likely to be so you still have to go through the process, and enough places are still listed at 100% (as is the norm outside of the cities) that you can't assume everything is underlisted anyway. yes all your viewers understood but that doesn't consider the sheer number of people who looked at your listing, went "ooh" and then looked at the home report and went "fucks sake not another one"
Yes, the estate agent recommended it but it's our moral responsibility as human beings not to facilitate their arseholery |
