Here's the deal. Stop flooding the classifieds with ads all day every day and start answering your SMS, email and PMs more often.
I am trying to give someone commission but you are all failing miserably!

Here's another idea for you. Look in the classified for people WANTING accommodation and try to match it to what you have on your books.

Oh, and try to be HONEST! when I ask for a private garden, that 2m space between the house and boundary wall just isn't good enough!!!

Jeez, it ain't rocket science!!!!

but I won't offer our services to you...bcoz the properties in our inventory list are either at THE PEARL or WEST BAY LAGOON / WEST BAY AREA...but we have a property or two in AL WAAB area.

Still...I won't offer our services...

the estate agents here need a shake up I have never had an e mail answered yet, I have set up viewings where they haven't turned up, their employers would not be amused by this attitude if they knew.

We have the same here... you give them your budget what you want , where you prefer and then next thing you know you are in another area, because for ONLY this much more you can have another bedroom or garden or...why dont they just look at what you want and go based on that...

Why always bring someones nationality into the subject... He is not saying anything about dealing with this nationality or not.. simply saying that if he would appreciate if estate agent could match his requirments with what they have on their books... not take his requirements and then show him something completely different ...

1. Stop shouting!

2. What is the purpose of estate agents then?

3. If I had the time to drive around every street in Doha I'd set myself up as an estate agent and do a damned better job than any of them appear to be doing right now!

Q: You're stranded on a deserted island with Tony Blair, Adolf Hitler, and an Estate Agent. You have a gun with only two bullets. What do you do?

A: Shoot the Estate Agent twice!

You'll be better off dealing with non-malyalees if you could find one. (can say from my experience)

true about not dealing with malayalee real estate agents.. they would fleece their own people by making tall claims about the property..

Khattak, If I had a hammock I'd have to hang it length-ways or fold over double!

One guy showed me a 'garden' last night. I could touch both walls at the same time. Wasting my time and his.

Asking them to be Honest is too much.

Honest & Real Estate Agents can't be used in one sentence, until & unless it goes like: "Real Estate Agents are NOT honest" :P
