I have only 33 years experience in local property. This is knowledge of the Jersey legal conveyancing matters. My company entered in to the Estate Agency arena just over 4 years ago and we are steadily expanding our offering as Jersey Estate agents and have an expanding team.
However we are a little surprised at some of our competition notwithstanding they are members of local Associations or indeed in some cases members of National Association.
This year we had believed on the basis of written e-mails that we had a joint agency with one agent, they had written suggesting it, written to the owner and thereafter my firm worked on that basis. When the sale was negotiated through the other agent they reneged on the deal they had with us.
Another agency can't be bothered to take their own photos. This is an interesting one because they are of course breaching copyright and using our employees time. Not only that, what service is the client paying for.
