A quality agent...

Back a while ago, in 2007 to be exact, I met the epitome of awesomeness that is a real estate agent. His name was Ian Knight and the agency was RE/MAX Toowoomba. Since my interaction with Ian and the team, I have never even come close to experiencing professionalism like I did back all those years ago (well, in fact it was only in 2007, but, hey, it's a lifetime ago). The funny thing was you see, is that the sale didn't even go through, but that brief afternoon has stayed with me for a while. No bullshit, no mucking around, working for the buyer and the seller, true real estateism. Unfortunately, there are very very ugly agents out there, and I don't mean the colour of their lippy, or the shitty power dress or 100 dollar suit. I'm talking about the stupid unnecessary mind games, the "I'll just ring the seller" shit, that is totally pointless and utterly fake. The crappy sales pitches, the bullshitting queens and kings that unfortunately make up the majority of the real estate world.

Just in case you are wondering, I am certain Ian and his team would have no idea I am writing this, as, like I said, it was just a brief afternoon where business was done. So I say congratulations, let's hope there are more Ians out there, giving RE a good name, instead of the shit kicking, bullcrap we so often have to put up with.

Have you had a quality experience with an agent? Let us know...
