The worm has turned




Property Sparrow has finally come to her senses at the estate agents. She has left.

For more months than she wants to tell you, her salary has been on a wing and a prayer. She was told ‘let’s hope things pick up in the new year.’ Then, a slow realisation that her weekend salary was in a long queue and it was behind the Rightmove fee, the VAT bill, the HIPS provider, the telephone bill, the newspaper advertiser, the poor man who puts up the For Sale boards.

Exasperated and aware that there are many employees waiting in this situation across the UK, Property Sparrow decided to cut her losses. She didn’t want to be there when the bailiff turns up.

She feels sorry for anyone involved in property who is facing irretrievable losses, even Estate Agents. She will miss the banter and the direct insight into what people are buying, or not as the case may be.

Still, she has more time now to do something else and time is precious.

Onward and upward.

Hi property sparrow - I'm sad to hear that your have decided to give up your position. Time for more blogging perhaps or shoe shopping?

Good luck with whatever branch you fly to next - I wonder how many other estate agency staff are starting to feel nervous about their positions.
