A great deal of information regarding house sales seem to be everywhere at present. Land agents saying: ‘Please help me to become the top earner', which is up to and more than $1 million. I do realise a great number of my clients will be on $50,000 to $70,000 a year earnings'. They have my sympathy.
'Senior citizens also a concern, as often they have to pay me more than a years' pension when they sell, but I don't make the rules, and like some successful agents I too would like a Porsche four wheel drive.
‘The young couple trying to buy their first home, will be disillusioned when they see the prices, but we have to get our fee.'
So unless someone restructures our little game, and hey no political party has it in their sights, we will soldier on
If Age Concern and Grey Power cannot get MPs to do anything why worry. They of course get the Gold Card, and Winston First cannot see any other problems in the housing field. As Muldoon said, and he was correct, life is not supposed to be fair. Perhaps some MPs also have this philosophy.

too much

Yes, the agents are getting too much. Cheaper companies like "Go Gecko" were chased out of this area by agents telling lies and half truths in a desperate effort to preserve their ridiculous salaries. Not long ago, a house near us was sold in about two hours, and the agent still got their $20K+ fee for less than two hours "work".
