Re: Estate Agents fees

Gosh this is a depressing thread for buyers and sellers alike. Have been talking to a number of different estate agents recently as we are thinking of buying a bigger house and they all seemed nice enough to me ( though I side stepped one for a variety of reasons. ) But the other 4 I have dealt with so far on viewings etc have been perfectly helpful . And I had no problem with the agent ( a different one again ) when I bought our current house.
Surely at least some of the agents are ok and just trying to make a living... ? Anyone on this site who works as an agent care to comment? Though I really really would like the lowdown on this 'same property at different prices on different sites' thing. Have seen a couple like that, with wildly different prices which is bemusing. Surely it will all boil down to what the seller will take ? And the seller can see the advertised prices just like everyone else so can hardly be unaware of the different approaches by agents. Anyway will be getting every step ( deposit et al ) ok-d by my solicitor as I progress.... And actually might just put our own property up for sale on this site in due course ...
