I would not use the agent again
- Services:
- Sales (as a Vendor)
I sold a property through remax they were so bad i could hardly beleive it. Asked for schedules and business cards to give out as people arriving at door to buy didn't receive any took weeks to put through clients as they keep telling people with mortgage decisions in principal that they themselves will get them a better mortgage so drags on to find customer after another 4 weeks doesn't get it again. They put you out your house during viewing, Communication very poor, make up so much lies its actually unbelievable. Use a good solicitor will save you time and money in the long run.

The very fact you call the company REMAX does lead to me to doubt the truth of this review. Anyone who has used any branch of RE/MAX (or anyone with a bit of general knowledge) will know that each office is an independent business, all run by different people - so how can you make sweeping statements about 'remax'? If you are going to write a review, please at least be accurate, and do not falsely accuse other offices after your supposed dealings with one - there are 7000 offices, so just a touch unrealistic to judge them all the same. And yes, I am involved with a RE/MAX office, and proud to be so. We bend over backwards to help our clients, and are constantly up against generalised claims about 'remax' - very annoying!!!

Merely commenting on 'RE/MAX' tells us nothing, as they have many offices throughout the UK. It's like reviewing 'McDonalds' or 'KFC' here, without telling us WHICH McDonalds or KFC you were in.
I notice the subtitle to the thread states a couple of towns, but perhaps it's an issue to be raised with the webmasters here, that anyone reviewing an agent within an affinity group or network should specify a geographic location for who they dealt with.

"Asked for schedules and business cards to give out as people arriving at door"
All you needed to door was point the people at the sale board, with your agent's and office's details, and ask them to contact the office. Then, if the office were doing their job, they would have got the name, telephone no etc of the buyer prospect (enabling follow-up with that prospect), rather than you handing out a schedule with no idea who it went to.
"They put you out your house during viewing,"
Quite right too. That's definitely the way to go. Nothing wrong with it. Viewers will feel self-conscious if you, the owner, are around. They'll be more honest with an agent about what they like and don't like.

Just because there are lots of offices should one office be allowed to undertake bad practice? I have had dealings with one office a s vendor and it has made me judge every other Re/Max service and it does make a difference, why should I give any other office a chance after being ignored, lied to, treated disrespectfully and provided with a generally substandard service? Surely the purpose of the free market is that people only use what works well for them. You may bend over backwards but my agent did not, so why should I trust you after being let down? Dont be so personal and get on with doing whatever great job it is that you do in the knowledge that others using the company name as you do not.

They are bad, don't listen to the remax gangbangers. Any one who has to pay to work as an estae agent cant be good, they're desparate. More so than any other form of estate agent.

i know i've just commented but i cant believe kc had the cheek to disbelieve you, thats typical of desparate remax agents who will not believe the public because they're so hell bent on believing that they can sell. They blame customers and property owners when things go wrong because theres absolutely no way that its just beacuse theyre rubbish.
I also like the way remax gangbanger 'query', who seems concerned his remax office will be tarnished because of your non geographic specifics, compares remax to kfc and macdonalds. He is right, in the sense that if were comparing, why would anyone choose between beautiful recommended restaurants and choose kfc. Because thats what remax are to the estate agency world, they're junk food style with junk food service and not that cheap either.
And finally according to 'agent orange' who thinks he's the men in black version of the remax world, you are wrong to give out any details to those coming to your door, why, because according to agent orange you have 'no idea'. And as far as you being put out of your house he thinks that is a/ok, he's right in the sense buyers will talk more honestly away from the seller but really poor confidence to perform with the seller present is to blame, surely the agent could speak to the buyers outside or even in another room, i mean whatdoes he want to say... 'so what do you think of this fat heifers house' or ' i know she smells but you can paint over that', you dont need to smooch your buyers agent orange just tell them the facts indoors and ask them what they thought after you've left. Agent orange is the prime example of the poorly trained remax agent, bet the illegalities would add up too.
They are all the same as office owners and agents all train to the same doctrine, i would err on the side of there maybe a few good ones but can you take that risk. AVOID remax or you may be sorry. By the way remax gangbangers any of you still with remax or couldn't you afford the fees in these harsh times!!
