Hello,
Posting in AIBU to hear more opinions/experiences on this.
We are looking to sell our house and talking to multiple estate agents. We haven't confirmed anyone yet.
3 days back, one of the estate agent called and told us that he has a cash buyer and interested to buy in your area and would like a viewing. Cash buyer already lives around this area and knows the town. We agreed for a viewing, cleaned and prepped the whole house.
5 minutes before the time, agent calls and tells us that the buyer is not interested. Buyer went on a walk on our street and they think it is too noisy/busy. They don't think they can live here. 5 minutes before the meeting!
AIBU to think the agent is being an absolute liar and based on this , we shouldn't be proceeding with him.
This is the first time we are selling our house, so new to all this.
Here are the reasons I think he is a liar
Flag 1- He was not clear on our further question on how keys will be handed over for this viewing.
Flag2- Cash buyer is renting here in the area, so knows the area very well already.
Flag 3- he said the buyers are pensioners. This is an out and out commuter town. Why would a pensioner be interested in this place.
AIBU- this happens more often that you can believe.
AINBU- He has lied and could be unreliable in dealings with him in future.
