Maybe I am a one-off.
We bought through QSD, a nice chap called Andrew. He went out of his way to help us, he ran us around the area as far as Torrevieja, he helped with the sale all he could... then, a few days after the sale was ended, the keys handed over and all was completed he came to our "new" house and gave us some wine and chocs... he was a star.
Not all agents are bad...

Nobody is forced to use any business. There are people continuously whining about Estate Agents, Utility prices, Restaurant prices. Airline Tickets ect. Now anyone in business owes it to themselves to maximise their profit, the secret is making sure your client leaves happy. So you have a choice. By the way I suppose all the moaners out there worked or work for nothing.

Just to throw something else into the mix and really in relation to the OP comments about fixed fees. Some estate agents in the UK do business on a fixed fee basis, this is not unique to Spain, presumably reflects prevailing economic conditions. EG in our part of Scotland where house prices are really pretty modest, the majority of the local Estate Agents work on fixed fee. Currently selling a rental apartment and overall the fixed fee is likely to represent c. 2% of the sale price. Might be a bit less, might be a bit more.Still costing a lot less than fees here, but different market..

I agree with you SCOTT, and I’d also like to say thank to JAN for all her hard work in keeping this Forum friendly as well as very useful.

thanks for letting it run, it is a subject that affects us all especially if we have been on the receiving end of anything dodgy. its not just about the set fees and what is agreed above board, it is about underhand payments, being told a separate payment needs making, only to find out way too late that there is no documentation for it. although it changes nothing, it is slightly reassuring that it is not just one or two of us that have been hoodwinked, it seems quite common. so I guess what I am saying despite all my due diligence, it was almost inevitable that i would lose several thousands i wasn't expecting to lose. simplest advice from my personal experience is only use a lawyer and not a solicitor, and only part with any money through your 'lawyer'. good luck to everyone.
