Dishonest property agents?!?

[jonbuoy]

First of Hitcher i do agree about these law reforms coming in because yes there are some real arsholes out there but they come in both sexs.
Also working in the industrie i can tell you there are just as many arshole male agents as well the only advantage females have are we are way better looking and obviously way more intelligent to come up with all the thing you are accusing us of.

Women don't lie they just don't tell all the truth. And about a million times better at game playing.

A house we sold unconditionally on the same day it was listed, the agents still held two open homes the following weekends, even though it was sold... WTF??

That's a very simple marketing ploy to try and get more contacts.

Surely going ahead trying to sell a house that's not for sale is illegal? False advertising and all that?

Go along and quietly tell all the prospective buyers - who didn't realise they were wasting their time - what's happening, then they can hit the agent with a collective lawsuit afterwards?

But it is still for sale.

If the contract is still getting checked out by the sellers Lawyer then they have not accepted the offer.

In any case you could still be gazumped at any time. I.e. another buyer comes along before you go unconditional and offers more.

Do you want to actually make a comment with that? Or am I supposed to guess what's funny?

Patrick's wasn't, if I read it right. I agree it wouldn't work in this case; this one was only misleading (the comment about cancelling the open home when that didn't happen).

Not unless there is an escape clause and even then they would have to give them depending what is writen 3/10 days to go unconditional. They could not get gazumped until after that. But would think there wouldn't be an escape clause in this contract as i dont think it conditional on the sale of another property.

The house is still for sale because all contracts are still conditional on your lawyer doing a title search which we have to allow 15 working days if the lawyer has it done before that he will then declare contract unconditional.

What would the lawsuit be. Sorry this was the bit i found funny. And i do apologize for that

Dont get all apologetic on them now...what sort of agent are you?...Honest!!!!.....

Walk, look at other properties and move on. Make it been seen that the money was never set in stone and that the vendor will not get another offer from you.
The vendor will then either come back to you, or the agent will have to drop a % of her fee to keep both you happy.
She's a women....therefore you must play hard to get.

No but the money will be there someone else and he misses out on the house that he likes

from my experience the vendor has never gone back to a buyer because there is always another buyer around the corner and dropping her fees get real i wouldn't

She's a women....therefore you must play hard to get.

That's why you live under Dom road and probably don't have a women.

Sorry, I was talking more about Patrick's case where my understanding was that it was unconditional. In which case continuing to hold an open home would be false advertising, and I'd think that would be grounds for a law suit. But IANAL.

I dont know the full sorry there but advertizing takes 2 weeks to hit the paper so when the add went in the paper the property was not sold. But as i also said a contract is never uncondional untill the lawyers have done a title search so we have to allow 15 days for this. We also sometimes still have an open home on some propertys to enable us to get a back up deal which only kicks in if the first contract fulls over.

........... We also sometimes still have an open home on some propertys to enable us to get a back up deal which only kicks in if the first contract fulls over.

So what happens if this backup deal is a bigger offer than the original one? Surely the seller wants the higher offer? If the original offer is not unconditional, can they then not be gazumped?

[degrom]

LOL... Mrs Busa!!!

I am sorry but I still don't trust the agent. She came back tonight with the papers and the said the vendor counter signed and added an extra $5k.
(We have the only offer!!!)

Me and my partner had a huge fight before the agent came over and I am glad I stood my ground!!!!

I started by asking if we can think about it first and then she started panicking.. LOL She even joked by saying.. "Yes,now it's out turn for revenge."

She asked why we would not want to accept it and we said its about the money so she called the vendor and whala!!!!

We almost own our one place now!!! Now it's just Lims and builders... LOL
