Look at all these comments with words! Words, of course, used by William Shakespeare to convey feelings which, I’m sure you’ll agree, actually give this comments section a lovely Elizabethan feeling.

I love whenever Bob says "cobra". He uses it sparingly but it always pops me. You can also tell Bob probably corpsed when he said "I haven't the foggiest" as it's edited a bit weird but he did it again because he probably loved the idea of saying it. (my head canon anyway haha)
This is spot on. I hate estate agents. "Is there a garage? Are the white goods included? Are pets allowed?" "I don't know. My colleague looks after this property. Can you pay a deposit now as we have 12 people interested. We close in half an hour"
Letting agents are generally the worst, but I've found dealing with solicitors and the actual vendors far more irritating than any estate agent. "Can you answer these queries about the property you own?" "I don't know."
@@johnmartinez7440 tell me about it. Vendor scrawling, ‘Sold as seen’ on every answer on the property information form… 🤦🏻♀️ FFS, it’s not a secondhand wardrobe…
It's actually quite refreshing to see an estate agent that knows this much about a property they're trying to sell. I've never come across one this knowledgeable.
The video has a great red bar that grows longer and then stops, which in turn transforms the two parallel vertical lines on the left into a triangle. nice.
I once had and estate agent tell me that he didn't just sell houses he sold dreams. Then couldn't answer any of my questions about the house build or heating or anything as a matter of fact. Paid door openers
There is a play button on the video which comes in handy for watching it and it has sound so you can hear it which is a real feature for those of u wanting to watch and hear the video
The whole thing is genius, so much detail. Particularly like when they ask where the river goes and he’s so happy to be able to answer -“that way goes all the way that way and that way goes all the way this way” Having also just told them the property is about a 9th of an acre which if they didn’t know is about the same size as kwikfit.
little fact about this - they had both the main characters from the 1980's program 'Just Good Friends' as the house viewers. Would have been even better had they had them looking at the same property
Watch his first Richard Herring interview. When he used to be a solicitor he gave a couple a house, for free, because he forgot to get them to sign the forms for the morgage. He sent a friend round the next day to pretend he needed something else signed.
I managed to hold onto a job for three years basically doing this. Tip ; always let the seller value the house. And yes there is always six or seven or eight or nine people expressing an interest. Saying “nice feature” and pointing at things also helps

At least he admits he doesn't know. Estate Agents in my experience just bullshit their way through
The answer he gives means he dosnt want to discuss lol
100% lol

But then later he asks what they are looking for. And then agrees with whatever they say. Classic.
I went to see a home a few weeks ago and they really did answer with "I don't know" to almost every question I asked.
"That's the sky up there" burst out laughing
"Do come out outside, for this is in fact The Outside"
😂😂
