Recently went to view a flat and later agreed with wonderful owners that I will put an offer on 2nd viewing 2 days later.
Property agents (Cherie - an obese short lady from HSR) and another lady acting on behalf of their boss tried to pressure their seller into accepting an offer (the first offer they received above valuation) lesser than what I was going to offer when they knew there is a second viewing and possible offer from me. Late as I was, but guess I still "missed the boat" although the agents DID NOT act in good faith of the seller.
Cherie even had the cheek to raise her voice at me when I tried to know more about the scenario when I went ahead to the location for 2nd viewing.
HSR claims they are the first choice in real estate. From the experience and the vocal intimidation received from Cherie, it is shocking that they can make it up to first choice.
Although HSR may be one of the leading companies in the market, my advice to friends out there, be careful because there are some really HORRENDOUS agents like Cherie who think they can use their proud ways to get about what they want.
