You won't go wrong if you employ Adrian
I'll try to put this tactfully: perhaps sometimes, just once in while, people are not totally convinced that all real estates agents are trustworthy. After all, they make money when houses are sold, so it is in their own personal interest to sell houses, and given the way in which commissions are structured, getting that last extra amount for the seller is not really something that makes too much difference to them. Agents around here - Balmain - are all very personable, as one might expect in such a valuable market, and this again might lead to suspicions about their sincerity. I myself had all of the above prejudices. However, Adrian, and I suspect other members of his team, failed to live down to my expectations: all my dealings with him were very much to my satisfaction. He never 'talked my house down' ; he did not try to commit me to an expensive advertising campaign; he was honest about the time frame in which he thought he could sell my house, and finally he got a very good price, more than I thought. It seems to me that Adrian, and the organisation he belongs to, represents a 'new breed' of real estate agents: ones that acknowledge that buyers and sellers in this market are on the whole experienced, and, if I can put it this way, are able to detect bullshit when it comes their way. No hesitation in recommending Adrian, none whatsoever, no bullshit!
