Slack Selling
Posted: Sun 25 January, 2009 Filed under: Customer Services, Cynicism, Thoughts 1 Comment »Two weeks ago now, one of our neighbours put his house on the market – or at least that’s when we knew about it, when the sale board went up outside. However, one assumes that it’s been with them for a few days before that, while they get the board organised etc.
Now, I’m a bit of a nosy bugger, so I’ve been wondering how much the place is going for. After all, we know what we paid for this place, so it’s interesting to see what the place next door is up for, and all that.
But in that two weeks since the board went up, there’s been no mention of the place on either RightMove or the estate agent’s own site.
It does make you wonder how they expect to sell the damn place, particularly in these times of credit crunch, recession and so on, if they can’t even be bothered to advertise the fucker, doesn’t it?
The flip side of that; we bought our house by spotting it on the internet, and the day we closed it all (was v.quick as it was empty) we drove past it and there was a guy putting the sign up! LOL
