Once I accepted their proposal, the ...

I've dealt with many Estate Agents over 30 years, however Jaqueline Hickman of Simmons and Sons in Marlow is the rudest, arrogant and vindictive agent I have ever had dealings with.

What agent could do to change your mind?
It wasn't a one off, it was a number of issues over a period of time, not just with me... I can only suggest moving staff about, it was more than one person I dealt with and seems to be a cultural issue in the business in that office, thus the review.Attached Filesnbsp;
