Even estate agents coudlk work better from home.
They still need to visit the properties.

Why?
Because they need to describe them to buyers, which you can't do
adequately if you haven't visited them, and documented them.

Surely they just make it all up anyway?

Very few of the property decsriptions I have had from estate agents
bear any relationship to reality..

I find they usually manage to photograph the right property and get the
rooms sizes correct.


Yeah but IME they consistently fail to display the rusting Dutch barn,
silos or dual carriageway adjacent to the property.
