We had a meeting with the developers of The Viewpoint (System Yapi) at their offices and proposed a fairly unique plan for selling the apartments, which they agreed to.
The next thing was a humanless email from them a couple of weeks later saying that the whole development was to be exclusively marketed by one "international agent". We were further advised that we, and other agencies should remove the project from our websites and portfolios. They kindly thanked us for our support during 2007. We never heard from them again.
Knowing the current climate in the market, I would love to know who this "international agent" is, who they think can sell 280 units in one complex in Fethiye, better than dozens of local agencies with customers in town, sitting in front of them.
Agencies simply don't need to have every project on their books, we have enough choice for our customers - and where we may have sold The Viewpoint, we'll be selling something else instead.
