Absolutely love my job, I'd have to really as some working days are 14 hours long. I'm self employed and I source residential properties for private investors. Running around sourcing properties, project managing the refurbishments and then renting them out, busy times!
Sorry, Ade. You're an Estate Agent.So if I said you were the Dark Lord of the Sith, currently orbiting the forest moon of Endor, that would be closer to the truth?
If I suggested that you were serving with special forces in Afghanistan? Or serving Burgers at Newport Pagnell services?
Bus driver? Porn star? IT support bod? High court judge? Venezualean trauma surgeon? Unicorn trainer to the Pixie King?
Just about every convceivable occupation with the exception of yours is further from the truth.
An estate agent is a person or business that arranges the selling, renting or management of properties, and other buildings, in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Mate, you're a f
king estate agent.I started my job, thinking 
but now, with the loss of most of my friends coupled with the lack of any form of social life means that I pretty much can't face getting up in the mornings.
I'm a rep, most people (on here anyway) would probably love a driving job - the freedom of the open road etc, but the flip side is that it is soul destroying, you're on your own for 8-9 hours a day, you have to be on top form all the time while driving because you could kill someone if you made a mistake, you see so much fktardery from the general public that you become desensitised to it and it can just suck the very life from your veins.

king estate agent.Buying agents (also known as relocation agents or property search agents) is a term used in the UK to describe people acting as agents on behalf of a buyer and not the seller, as do traditional Estate agents whose job is to obtain the maximum price for a property for the seller. Buying agents represent the buyer's interests and normally undertake negotiations on their behalf to acquire a property for the best possible price and terms. A buying agent should provide the following services. They should be finding property from the whole of the Market and making sure that the properties they show their clients are not only suitable but are good examples of both quality and value.
Hope this helps you understand the difference between a sourcing/buying agent and an estate agent. Cheers

No offence intended but that just sounds like another way of describing estate agents. It's like how car salesmen calls themselves "Automotive Consultant Executives" (A.C.E).Buying agents (also known as relocation agents or property search agents) is a term used in the UK to describe people acting as agents on behalf of a buyer and not the seller, as do traditional Estate agents whose job is to obtain the maximum price for a property for the seller.

The only similarities there are the use of the word "agent".

I mainly buy repossessed properties from auction on behalf of clients. A maximum bid price is agreed with the client but I receive a commission based on the ACTUAL purchase price, not the maximum bid agreed.
A recent example; maximum bid price agreed on a 2 bed terrace property 56k, managed to purchase the property for 41k, I receive a percentage based on the 41k not the 56k.
