Like everyone he has his motivations and seems to be doing really well. His views are definitely not allined to many on this forum. I often ask the questin who is the estate agent working for the buyer or the seller. My experience they are working for themselves trying to get a sale at any cost so they get paid.

I am senciung some deep hostilities and changes in opinion Bec, One question I always ask when someone tries to sell me something or offer me a service is what is in it for me…what is in it for them.
