Advice, La Rossa and Dodgy Agents



ORIGINAL POST
Posted by RachRobin 17 yrs ago
We are interested in renting an apartment (probably 2 bed) in La Rossa at Tung Chung. Does anyone out there have any advice/opinion on this property?

We have looked at the other complexes and judging from what is available, Coastal Skyline would be the only other complex we would consider.....

ALSO!

Is it just me, or do real estate agents tell bare faced lies about rental prices?

My husband and I collected various flyers with advertised flats & prices last week. On the same day, we asked to view the advertised flats (made an appointment to do so). When we met the agent, we were told all the advertised flats had been rented, and the agent proceeded to show us flats outside of our budget.

Is this usual behaviour that we just have to expect or just this particular agent??

send you a p.m. on your mailbox. I can recommend an agent that has work for us several times already.

RogerR, why do you feel the need to point out that Patrick gets paid for dealing with things? He wasn't complaining, simply explaining how difficult it is to get accurate information sometimes. Don't always blame the agents, landlords can be extremely difficult to deal with, and they don't always tell the truth either. I'm glad to hear you've found an agent you trust, and of course it's to their long-term benefit, which is why any agent with a grain of intelligence should be trustworthy.

Christian, you're talking about a different kind of agent here - I can't comment! My company doesn't do first sales so we never deal with developers and never stand around outside new buildings. Yes, there are some bad agents out there but there are people in every industry who are not as professional as they should be.

But, I am looking to RENT a property. I have a firm budget, have decided on the area / complex / size I am looking for, and yet they still insist on showing me stuff I am simply not interested in. All advertised properties that look like they fit the bill are 'already rented' or 'they don't have the key'.

By the way, I am 7 months pregnant, not really that appreciative of making appointments with agents in TC that 'aren't available' when I show up (having travelled from Wanchai).

Having said that, I have met one young reliable agent who has been of assistance and no BS factor.

Go to Ricacorp at the far end near the 7 11 and ask for Juliet (62004848) she was brilliant and showed us only property that we stated in the price rage we told her. she went the extra mile at all times and we where very happy. We ended up buying a property in CC. If the phone number is not correct drop in and see her.
