Estate agents on par with footballers and journalists when it comes to public trust

What do estate agents, footballers and journalist have in common?

All three are trusted by just a quarter of the public, according to the latest Ipsos MORI Veracity Index.

Respondents were asked how much they trust certain professions to tell the truth.

Just 27% said they trusted agents, on a par with journalists and ahead of 26% for footballers.

The agency figure is down on last year’s survey, when 30% said they trusted agents.

Agents at least fared better than politicians and government ministers who were at the bottom of the table with 17% and 19% respectively.

Nurses remained the most trusted profession in Britain at 94%, just ahead of doctors, who were backed by 91% of respondents.

Needless to say, you can always trust EYE journalists!

      Oh, dear…

      You clearly ain’t got a Scooby how utterly numptyfied you come across as being.

      Note – the ‘survey’ relates to ESTATE AGENTS.

      ALL of us.

      EVERY business model.

      YOU included.

      Can you smell any coffee yet?  Hear that penny dropping?

      You’ve got a terminal case of cranial constipation.  Normally I suggest people engage brain before pressing ‘POST COMMENT’ – but you are WAAAAY in need of more than that simple fix for what is clearly an insurmountable problem.

      Instead, I strongly suggest you try something to relieve some of the pressure before we have a Vesuvius episode – and take your head for a long and well-overdue 5h!te.

    The public, (made up of estate agents, footballers, politicians, builders, lawyers, dentists el al) trust no one.

    It’s a good job there are some really brilliant agents out there to dipole the myths that are told-usually by untrustworthy journalists!! The Property eye excluded of course!
