The process of selling a home is a tedious and dull one.
…. Usually.
Because for inner-western Sydney couple James Couche and Sarah McGilvray, their experience turned rather manky. The pair had just returned back to the Balmain home they’re selling after opening up the house for an inspection, when they noticed that something was ‘off’.
There was, shall we say, an odour.

That's on the agents. They're responsible for the home while an open house is on. If they're not going to keep an eye on what's going on, they should be addressing the issues that result.
Absolutely! And if a lot of people are expected at an open home, there should be 2 agents present to keep an eye on things. I don't think I'd be laughing it off if it was my home.
Real Estate Agents are a law unto themselves. Such a shonky industry. There's some bloody great ones, but they seem to be outweighed by the duplicitous and scummy ones unfortunately.
I was fortunate enough to work for a great one! We would never let something like this happen, let alone leave it to the owners to find.
Oh, I could go right off about my experience with them, but that's not your fault/you don't want to hear it hahaha.
(I've also got a mate who runs a real estate so I know they're obviously not all bad)
