I've just been chucked off Kimmitt and Roberts' books!! (Seaham Office). I was a seller (vendor). I dared to question the sale price Mr David Kimmitt placed on my house. I asked for the price to be reduced to what I consider a more realistic level (given the recent research I've done) but he refused.
Mr David Kimmitt doesn't like sellers to have their own thoughts or opinions about their own properties, even though he supposedly provides a public service as an estate agent and charges you thousands of pounds.
I wanted my home to be photographed empty, but he wouldn't agree to that.
He had previously unprofessionally photographed his knees in one shot, but I didn't ask for the shot to be re-done, I made light of it and let it go, I tried to be kind.
I am extremely sorry I gave Kimmitts (Seaham) the opportunity to market my nice little house, but we all make mistakes. What a waste of time. What a terrible way to treat a good, genuine seller.
Be very careful if you approach Mr David Kimmitt. And for heaven's sake, don't question his opinion, or ask him any questions about anything he's sold.
(By the way, Sam Cranmer, who handles emails, is excellent.)

They never ring you back and do not actually seem to do anything.
I would never sell a property through them...
