A strange breed: real estate agents


This post is intended as a tribute to those few individuals in the category "estate agents" who do not identify in the description that I will.
In recent months, maniacally, as usual, I'm squeezing in the search for a home to buy. The timing is good you know, everything is negotiable el 'offer considerable. Systems will be upgraded through specific sites on the offers available daily, and yet find a home is not easy, pleasant for me.
What I try seems not to exist, and if there does not go through agencies but private contacts between the privileged few who buy a property safe, historic, beautiful and satisfying. A charming house, with the flavor of time el 'no junk fruit of' inspiration of vintage men surveyors. All without fainting. Like a good seeker
homes, want to rely on professionals, and through the network forwarding a request.
"Seeking midio or more, from 60 sq.m. up, possibly with garage or parking space, no more than 3 km from the city center. Prerequisite: the 'flat must be placed in a context prior to 1950, suggestive, and architectural interest ".
I do not think this is a claim hard to understand. You will probably find it hard to find a property with these features.
Day subsequent to 'entering the portal of the request, rained the first call of the various sellers. Many belong to large franchise groups.'re young or old, men and women, with a' dialect sometimes very pronounced. I propose immediately a few houses.
1 st interview. I understand from the description immediately that this is a property 60 years and I turn them off in no time at all. "Look, I am only interested in homes before 1950," points out tones without hassle. "But look, this despite the 1966 costs less than a home as she wants. Do not worry, we can also give them access to a loan with very favorable conditions." The unfortunate
seller, apparently arrived at the world of real estate without a history of low culture 'architecture, was convinced that I tried to save an old house. No comment. Did not even know that old houses are worth more.
2 nd interview. "Excuse me, why look for an old house?" I asked the seller. Answer: "Look, I'm passionate about architecture. The prior to 50 homes are built better, last longer and re-evaluate over time. "The seller in question he should answer me annoyed recent apartment buildings, perhaps not yet complete, because in this way has the 'exclusive to see job status. I tell them to see the status of the work would be an 'other confirms the fact that today the workers are working badly and I will not buy something that already needs restructuring from the outset.
the 3rd interview, "but knows that she is just weird. Nobody ever does these requests!! In ten years I have never. "With a bit 'of spavaldaggine, I answer that apparently has found customers willing to bad poor homes. 'S agent is offended, he says he can do his work and offers me a home. Trust, he said. We are after a couple of 'hours to' address. We are in a building 60 years. 'S agent in question beckons me to follow him and I stopped it immediately clear to point out to him that the house does not meet the requirements. The peasant insists, said he had read in the papers that 'property is 1943, and I noted that you can see the state of the terraces (ruined). I take a fat laugh, watch it with the 'expression of a person at the same time amused and tired to see the' incompetence of others. "Behold, sir ........... this house is not the 1943 for several reasons, and do not need to read between the data catastali.Per First, you can see in the architectural style. Before the 50 houses had shutters, here we are. Before the 50 years the walls were thick as it had to retain heat in winter and were not yet released the radiators or heating except for the stoves. Then you can tell from the heights of the plans, the presence of terraces instead of balconies, and above all ...... the home can not be in 1943 because at that 'years have not been built houses. The agent insists
rude, says that homes are being built, there are no breaks, that even now there's a crisis that is built and then built to even 'time. The unfortunate, just 25 years old, a perfect example of ignorant Italic continued persevarando in his theories. At one time I say clearly that in 1943 in Italy and in much of Europe 'was a war going on. The Second World War. No one was building in those years, because there 'was no money, because there' were unskilled workers, because the houses were not needed. Finally calmed down but insisted he show me the house. Exhausted, the 'I've gone along. A house without even obscene and one of the features that I asked.
I could go to 'infinity. I would say that in a sample of fifty vendors met to date, only 4 or 5 have proved to be competent, able to understand the request, able to distinguish by eye of a house 70 'from the 20's. I live in the city
the greatest architect in history, a rich city, with a dense library of the works of great scholars of the history of 'architecture as Lionello Puppi, Renato Cevese, Franco Barbieri. It certainly can not say that lack the tools. I wonder why a responsible agency 's not concerned to' architecture and why it does not require his disciples to follow a training course for at least a minimum understanding.
The answer is at hand. Why are the troglodytes enriched servizion Schei of God (see God's money).
Frankly I find it ridiculous that I am, not titled and simple customer, having to explain to the sellers of the historical and architectural features of houses that I propose. Are pissed.
