From: GoAnna !
One of my tenants called me yesterday and asked for my help. He said that his father has recently arrived from China and that although he has plenty of money no-one would give him a house. He asked if i could provide a reference for his father. I said that I certainly could confirm that the son has been a perfect tenant.
The call from the agent came through while I was out.
The agent asked "Is Mr Z## a good tenant?."
"He is great replied my husband, having no idea that he was talking about the father not the son.
"Thanks" said agent and hung up.
I couldn't believe it! Not only did they not confirm that they were speaking of the same person but they asked no details such as did he always pay on time, when did he rent from you, what level of rent was he paying, how well did he care for property etc.
How much do we pay agents to provide this level of "professional" service. Too much!
