I have been a recipient of that particular tactic and it is not pleasant

They are basically out to earn their commission for as little work as possible and don't forget that a few grand on the price makes little or no difference to what they earn, but might delay it into the next accounting period and make their results look bad!
...remember they want what is best for THEM, not for the vendor.

We've gone with a large nationwide EA and are astounded at the way in which the sale is being handled - although, never having sold in Ireland before - perhaps this is the norm?
