Secret Agent
The Things People Say How did we get here?
The truth is that
estate agents (most of us, anyway) are ordinary people, doing an extraordinarily
enjoyable job helping other people to sort their homes out. But the world
thinks of our profession in a number of disparaging ways - often with
good reason. Because we know that 90% of the profession's poor reputation
derives from 10% of its members, we thought you might find it helpful
to take a look behind our scenes; to find out what makes us tick.
The Things People Say - Andrew Waterfall
Most of our time is spent talking to people and occasionally we hear things that we think unintentionally funny. I've made it my personal mission to record these gems for posterity and these pages seemed an ideal opportunity to share them with the world. Please don't be frightened to speak to us; we'll need to update our material in time and any extra quotes will be invaluable! And remember none of us is perfect -me included; several of these quotes are mine!
Vendor - "These flats sell like rock cakes"
Estate Agent - "I heard it in the corner of my ear"
Estate Agent - "I've been tarnished with the same brush"
Vendor - "Well, the ball's on the other foot now"
Estate Agent - "We'll get into sticky water if we do that"
Estate Agent - "I'm sorry, but I'll have to leave you in the dark overnight"
Financial Advisor - "I've put everything else on the back boiler"
Estate Agent - "They won't be pleased - it's going to go down like a ton of balloons"
Vendor - I wouldn't trust him with a bargepole"
Applicant
- "I'm looking for my daughter"
Agent - "Sorry madam, she isn't here"
Estate Agent - "Woking has more people per capita than any other town in the area"
Estate Agent - "it's another bow to your string"
Estate Agent - "He keeps his nose to the ground, so he knows what's going on"
Estate Agent - When I told him on the 'phone earlier, he didn't bat an eyelid"
And our favourite to date -
Financial Advisor - "Something stinks here and I want to get to the bottom of it."
