I've had it up to my back teeth with estate agents recently. Apart from having to take one to court for being lying money grabbing bastards back in February I've had the pleasure of listening to another estate agency as they show twenty or so people round the flat I currently live in. I reckon 50% of the potential buyers who come in to see the flat are misled by the agent in some way. Some of the agents have tried to pressurise buyers into a decision on the spot as if anybody is going to go "oh yes ok, I'll give you £350k for this flat I've been standing in for thirty seconds because you said loads of other people want to buy it! Let me go fetch my money van!".
On the plus side, some of the buyers that have viewed the flat have been really nice and also really put the agents on the spot on occasion.
