Complain a bit about restrictions, tell them how crazy it is that you can go to the shops with 100s of people but can’t view an empty house alone. ‘Is a home not essential??’. Praise the great and important work they do. Let them rant a little and you’re in. Works every time!

DataDude wrote: » I’m actually not sure. I’ve never done one, but I think assume it’s what you’ve described. It’s either that or ‘here’s a YouTube link, lets watch it together or alternatively call me after and let know if any questions’. No idea how people could rely on them. If there’s any issues like a big massive tree blocking all your evening sunlight (a big issue for me), for example, it’d be so easy to not show that in a video tour.

DataDude wrote: » I’ve also done a number of in person viewings with reputable agencies. What I’ve found is the first answer is always ‘no, virtual viewings only’, but if you get chatting to them and they get comfortable that you’re not going to ring Joe Duffy if they say yes, then eventually they’ll agree to it. They’ll never put it in an email either, over the phone only.

Both had askings cut and still sold below the reduced asking at 1.05 & 1.1 respectively.https://www.myhome.ie/residential/brochure/16-frascati-park-blackrock-co-dublin/4492468

I've also said that I believe they will "test" ("pilot") the hybrid model to placate some staff and to show their employees that at least they tried it before choosing one or the other Either way, all it takes is 8,000 workers in the city to embrace full time WFH and that's the equivalent of Google moving out. Between the civil service and other companies, that's a minimum that will not be returning to the city IMO. Then you can throw in all the workers in restaurants, pubs, retail etc. who will also not be returning to work in the city centre due to the permanent decline in footfall and that's the rental demand for all those flats, apartments and houses rented by the room etc. effectively wiped out, hybrid or no hybrid IMO

When so many of the people with whom we all interact are in the US, India and other places, then it makes relatively little difference. That is the nature of many MNCs here in Ireland We’ve all been officially told that none of us have to return if we don’t want to after this - globally, including the big NYC and Mumbai hubs. And the new office strategy is based on 60% occupancy. Given that some will want to be back 100% of the time (especially younger people in shared accommodation) it then follows that others will not go in at all. Most want (and will get) 2 - 3 days in the office

The Seattle-based commerce giant told employees in a companywide announcement that it is planning a “return to an office-centric culture as our baseline.” The transition away from remote work is expected to wrap up by autumn, according to the announcement Tuesday. Working in offices, the note said, “enables us to invent, collaborate, and learn together most effectively.” "Google announced Wednesday that its employees will begin trickling back to offices in April. The company, which employs nearly 6,000 Seattle-area workers, has said it will pilot a hybrid workplace model in which employees are expected to be in the office three days a week starting in September."

Well done you, we're at the end of Q1 2021, and he was wrong. The time has now arrived to rubbish his predictions. But if you're suggesting I was wrong to say it was a bit early to rubbish them 6 months ago, I think you're missing the point. As usual.
