"Rental Real Estate Agents In Toowomba"
Am moving to Toowoomba in the next few months for work with my children and two small outside dogs...I have quite a good career with excellent renumeration..I can tell you now..I would fire or retrain ALOT of the people in rental Real estate mangement that I have come across so far tryingto find a good solid family home in Toowoomba. My view is eventurally to purhcase my own place in Toowomba and little do most of these obnoxious upstarts know that they are slowly but surely ticking themsleves off my list of people to Buy through when I am ready to Purchase. Gecko is first..arrogant..A young lass at LJ Hooker left a particularly bad taste in My mouth..Ray White Herries street was quite polite altho not at all prompt..the Team at Harcourts were a hoot and altho I may not be renting through them I will be approaching them to look at houses. Darling Downs Realty was really down to earth and nice folk. I ask Real Estate agents to keep in mind..even Renters can turn into Purchasers...it always pays to treat everyone with respect and be helpfull..Return calls and dont speak to me like I am a annoying pce of dog poop you managed to pick up on your shoe..I am actually caretaking your clients assets and paying for the Privilege..maybe if you treat more people with respect ..then more repect will be paid back to you..

0h boy I so enjoyed reading your comments, to say stating and saying it as it is would be understating. I have always had a beautiful home and every single house we have sold has been described by real estate agents as the best presented home they have ever had the privilege to list, and always been like it even with unexpected requests for viewing. Its how my home is always kept as its how I like to live my life. We recently came to Toowoomba to be nearer to our Grandchildren in Western suburbs of Brisbane after selling our beautiful home further north, but also for a while we are both wanting to do some traveling around Australia but hopefully overseas also of course that might not happen. Therefore with all this in mind we dont want to buy again yet, just as your description is so perfectly matched to how we have been treated. We are both retirees , and I lead a very busy working life working in a city hospital A/E department for many years with a large number of staff under my direction , I would never have spoken to any member of my staff or even for that matter patients either the way my husband and I have been spoken to by some of these agents, as soon as they hear we are not a potential buyer, and as plainly can be established we are both past a certain stage in our lives. I have to admit and am not proud to admit to acting in this manner, but in the past week or so in utter frustration I have started to see myself dropping down to their levels. Its very hard situation to be in as the only way to describe our situation is to say as it is, we are homeless. We are having to stay in a local motel, of course had we known this ridiculous situation that is happening all over our country now was going to happen, we would never have sold our home. The whole utterly ridiculous situation came about in the small time frame of no more than 3 weeks, I go to sleep every night with great difficulty with the whole sorry saga playing out in my mind and wondering how long this nightmare is going to go on for, then you have to endure the disgraceful reactions you get from some of these real estate people. Plus I also have a container of all my beautiful home and almost all of our clothing as well , sitting in a yard of our removal company further north. I just hope one day that I can look back on all of this and hopefully manage a strained smile. One person, no will change that 2 people who claimed to be friends, stated the ridiculous statement the other day that it must be very exciting what we are experiencing and doing, well all I can say to them as Idid at the time, they must be very weird people or completely void of a brain, to think that 2 elderly people would look on this as exciting, as the bag of laundry grows to a level of when I do eventually. And hopefully do own a laundry room of my own again, I probably wont vacate it for best part of a month. Then I suppose you can look on it all as I wont be destroying or tearing apart an investors house, will be to busy catching up on a few months laundry.
WELL SAID ! We are a mobile population and it is time agents realized that. We sell then rent while we look to buy.
We have a 7kg dog, that sleeps on our bed thus goes to the groomers at $60 a time every 6 weeks, and would rather walk aroung with his legs crossed that do anything inside the house. The agent selling our place did not even know we had a dog till he found him asleep on the bed, BUT as soon as you mention the word DOG, to rental agents, it is assumed you are from a VERY lower socio economic back ground and your dog is a wolf hound that is going to destroy the garden and eat the inside walls. Agents see the bond as an early "Christmas present" and always find something like a 2 cm mark that will cost your full $2000 bond to fix !
Like you my O/H is on a 6 figure income, and we will rent while we look for our next home. SO, property managers dont judge all applicants as one you may have had an issue with and lefts face it if YOU do your job properly that is regular checks at least in the early months you will see we dont all want to move in and destroy your clients property in fact many of us will leave it in a far better state than we found it .
