Here comes the age old question.  In this episode, we are joined by the Director of Property Master, Robin, to give us insights and perspective from a property agent. Is there a problem in the current landscape of property? Can you trust property agents? And what are some of the red flags you should look out for when searching for an agent? We answer all of these, in this episode.
