To the general public,

To anyone wishing to work for or buy through this company please take heed. I worked for this company for almost a year without time off and never got paid my commission worth in the region of €40k all my friends who did likewise were robbed too. Thats how he made all his money. My parents bought through him when I started as they preach 100% rentals in july and August its crap she got a week. The company pitch heat from the top down and I regret I ever heard of them. I know of at least 5 people involved in legal disputes across Europe and USA with them. Check out youtube or The Times articles its all true

I found out my estate agents decided to clean the flat I rented a 2nd time after I had moved out (although I had already had it cleaned professionally), without asking the landlord. I only found out when they told me I was getting my deposit minus £300 for cleaning. The landlord didn't care and tried to force me to pay it. The flat was tiny and it was obvious they had over-billed. I'm sure they didn't even clean the flat and just produced a fake invoice or an invoice from their own cleaning company. They ended up paying me back when I suggested this to them

Remax in Leith in Edinburgh have been in the press on numerous occasions for un scruplous bits of business.

I Have no personal experience of dealing with them, however these press articles are pretty bad.

If you google remax leith conmen you will see for your self, i did notice there staff turnover is bad as well.

Cue the Devil's Advocate:

If you haven't any personal experience of dealing with them, should you really be mentioning them, since the original poster asked if anyone had any experience of dealing with EAs.......?

If they've appeared 'numerous' times in the press, can you cite anything like dates, etc? Just how many is 'numerous' ???

Someone else was around here under a different name, maybe, a while ago suggesting that people google EXACTLY those same keywords.... and also in other forums.

This makes me think you are he and you've set up a new account under another name. Where's the moderator?

Oh, and it's 'their staff' - not 'there staff...'

...if you ARE the same person that posted last time, then c'mon - be honest with us and just admit it.
