“My family are renting a house on the West Side and in January my amateur landlord put the house for sale as “financial conditions changed”. My family kindly agreed to show the house once a week to potential buyers. At the beginning showings were active and once we had seven parties to wander around. By the end of April there were one or two viewers per week. In May – zilch – nothing – no showings and no call from the realtor for four weeks. Yesterday I inadvertently bumped into the guy in downtown and asked him what’s going on. The realtor said “you can’t believe but there was not a single call for this house for 30 days”. I told him that there is no reason for dejection because it is different here and maybe all the potential buyers are flocking to Johannesburg to snap some properties during FIFA World Cup and then will be back home. To say that he was stunned is to say nothing.” [haha, cute joke -ed.]
Some of these agents should be thinking about changing careers. Because it is only going to get worse.
