Kelvin's Recent Activity

Compounded by the fact that there are desperate agents listing anything at any price, without giving a monkeys about selling the property. Always the same old agents at the top of RM+ reductions table and most of the time they are the bottom of the sales results. Desperate times, desperate measures….won’t be around long with that approach.

Wait till all the corporates list their Boxing Day specials “as that’s the day everyone is on Rightmove looking at property”…….. Course they are!

Correct me if I am wrong but aren’t the most motivated buyers out there right now, sellers that have sold and are under offer? Why would a first time buyer purchase right now when the mortgage rates are high and the market all over the place?

From: Kelvin Benson 09 November 2022 08:09 AM

Market conditions? Terrible local property experts more like.

Clearly working for the wrong company then…. Plus if your any good at what you do and have some backbone then you negotiate what you think you are worth…..

At Countrywide it was used as a price reduction tool that opened up the property to a whole fresh batch of applicants……. The seller would be told that their expected price could still be achieved…. Quite frankly it was a total waste time that benefitted no one other than the regional manager who saw a reduction on a spreadsheet…….

Never heard of either of them…

From: Kelvin Benson 04 May 2022 08:01 AM

We get 5/7 smart val requests a week but even as market leader on sales and listings the actual number of physical valuations from this is next to none.

Anyone have anything serious to write about?!

Don’t entirely agree. We are still booking 20+ viewings daily with most buyers now expecting to pay stamp duty, if they don’t it’s bonus money for them. Lockdown has got them thinking, mulling over the need for extra space, a home office plus larger garden for the kids to play in. Stamp duty has always been a part of the house buying process and by the looks of it always will be, if you want to move you have to pay it. Quality of life appears to be more important nowadays than paying SDLT.

Was you not all of that before you rebranded then?!

From: Kelvin Benson 22 December 2020 07:50 AM

Never had so many mortgages pulled from proceeding buyers. There’s two sides to this story and this article only reports on the good half...

Even a blind squirrel stumbles upon a few nuts....

More doom and gloom from you lot!

👆👆You’ve decided to turn off the ”reply” button for anything you post but anyway, no worries, glad you found it useful

The Countrywide MD for the south west thinks it’s great because he hasn’t progressed a sale for years and with all staff furloughed needs all the help he can get....

From: Kelvin Benson 03 June 2020 07:51 AM

Had his five minutes of fame and everyone basically thinks he is a dickhead!

From: Kelvin Benson 06 May 2020 11:41 AM

Ooooo breaking news! Most on the ball agents have been doing this for a month!

From: Kelvin Benson 20 April 2020 08:44 AM

But we might give them some friendly encouragement to “just pop in and make some calls” like I know one office is doing ....

😴😴😴😴

From: Kelvin Benson 27 February 2020 07:50 AM

Absolutely no benefit to staff at all is there? Branch closures galore surely. In my local town alone there is a Mann, Bairstow Eves, Ashton Burkenshaw, plus 2 Your Moves within a mile of each other... they won’t all stay open will they!?

From: Kelvin Benson 26 February 2020 09:25 AM

A) Mostly overpriced B) Unsold as no tenacious sales team trying to sell them C) Vendors trying to do their own offer negotiating, having mostly never sold a property in their lives!

From: Kelvin Benson 19 December 2019 08:15 AM

Agents have door knocked for years.... this is hardly a revelation... not sure what all the fuss is about.

From: Kelvin Benson 24 October 2019 08:06 AM

With absolutely no experience in estate agency. Another fat cat to join the others and sit in their ivory towers thinking they know what they are doing! Next they will be encouraging us to up sell fruit and veg!

From: Kelvin Benson 17 October 2019 07:51 AM

And that right there is why traditional high street agents are worth every penny you pay them. Commisery my arse!

From: Kelvin Benson 14 May 2019 08:00 AM

In other breaking news..... Agents overvaluing!

From: Kelvin Benson 08 April 2019 07:47 AM

Lee Wainwright quit CW for personal reasons too.... bet he pops up at CW again

From: Kelvin Benson 25 February 2019 09:45 AM

I can’t stop taking property off of these 🤡

From: Kelvin Benson 12 February 2019 11:44 AM

Rock, paper, scissors?

From: Kelvin Benson 08 February 2019 08:04 AM

You are probably like most developers and a complete waste of time, wanting something for nothing.. gone are the days of cheap properties to flip as there is always someone out there willing the pay the asking price. Probably why you haven’t had any calls....

From: Kelvin Benson 24 January 2019 07:55 AM

Easy when you over value and tell the clients what they want to hear...

From: Kelvin Benson 24 January 2019 07:52 AM

Most of their stock is overpriced rubbish anyway... welcome to it.

From: Kelvin Benson 11 December 2018 15:27 PM

Mostly overpriced in the first place... that’s the only way they get them on.... 9/10 of the Emoov sellers are on another planet with their expectations as a result... poor or no initial price advice...

From: Kelvin Benson 06 December 2018 09:09 AM

Over valuing estate agents! Whatever next?! Next you’ll be paying them upfront and they’ll have no interest in selling your property!

From: Kelvin Benson 14 August 2018 07:59 AM

Your chosen panel is like asking City fans about Utd... all have a vested interest or have the hump with CW...

From: Kelvin Benson 25 July 2018 07:50 AM

Fire up the CV me thinks!!

From: Kelvin Benson 24 July 2018 08:22 AM

So they will be targeting chancers, time wasters and anyone else not fully committed to selling their home? How can you sell ‘quietly’ and get the best possible price for the seller? Whatever next!

From: Kelvin Benson 04 June 2018 07:49 AM

Greedy useless woman

From: Kelvin Benson 21 March 2018 13:27 PM

Got any new news?

From: Kelvin Benson 21 March 2018 07:47 AM

So basically everything you can Google yourself or check on Righmtove/Zoopla... waste of money

From: Kelvin Benson 15 March 2018 08:18 AM

Overvaluing failed estate agents the majority of them.
