Former estate agent lifts the lid on an industry stuck in a '1980s time warp' rife with cocaine use, sexism and fraud

A FORMER estate agent has lifted the lid on the sordid, sexist and seedy world of selling houses.

“Women are made to wear make-up and high heels. Low-cut tops are encouraged to persuade men to sign on the dotted line. It’s also incredibly pressurised, with unrealistic ­targets that have to be met.Credit: Getty - Contributoras workers struggle to keep pace with the hours and find a way to cope with the stress. Coke was openly spoken about across the desks — and applauded — with some guys taking it almost daily.

“At a firm in South West London, I was told it was mandatory for women to wear high heels and skirts were ­preferred. A few months in, a married, 50-year-old male manager with three kids became increasingly tactile — chasing after me, ruffling my hair, complimenting my appearance every day. “Her boss would comment on her breasts each day and encourage her to ‘get them out’ before a viewing. Adultery and sex are everywhere. There were ­constant tales of male managers indulging in affairs with female negotiators. Sadly, it is the norm in estate agency.”

“On another occasion, a ­client came in to say his mother had died. My boss looked sombre, speaking to him in hushed tones. As soon as the client left, the manager started shrieking euphorically across the office, ‘She’s finally died! We can flog her house! It’s worth £5million!’
