Dodgy Real Estate Agent

[cosmic starz]

Dont know how i missed this thread, being an agent (in the past).

Al, the reason i left that industry is exatly this sort of BS that gives the industry a bad name and want nothing to do with it.

Looks like pretty much everything has been covered already, are you still keen on this property?

Out of interest, can you ask the lady how she came to give this particular agent the listing? How did they get in touch? Was it a recommendation from one of her friends? If so, she should speak to her friend (maybe its written above but i missed it)

If this is how you get your "kicks", well each to there own, but it's pretty sad...

For the others..........

Well good news!

They say things happen for a reason and this has just proved it.

Due to this event, i went to another 5 house inspections, the weekend after, and found 3 others i liked. By Monday i had inspected a property for the 2nd time and placed an offer. On Tuesday the offer was accepted and settlement date is in 80 days from today.

For $15,000 extra (but still within my budget), this property has the following "extra" over the property in the first post:

- 50% more land: 600m^2 as apposed to 400m^2

- study

- Theater room

- Evaporative cooling

- Ducted Vacuuming

- Bar (in lounge room)

- Wooden floor boards, throughout the house.

As a bonus the following "extra" items will remain in the house on settlement:

- Hi-end projector

- Huge projector screen

- Bar fridge

- Dishwasher

To say i am happy is an understatement

The real-estate agent dealing with this property was tops; no BS, no head farks, just straight and honest.

I had no issues with getting a building and pest inspection done and the contract was drawn accordingly.

I also messaged the owner of the first property, stating that i had bought another property, but was still willing to write a statement/explanation of what had occurred; should she decide to take the issue further.

Thanks to everyone who posted helpful information, it was/is greatly appreciated!!

sounds good al, congrats. big garage?

[hotchoc]

good one al : )

[Al]

Thanks all. Really happy with how it worked out. House has a double brick garage, with plenty of room to build a decent tin shed at the back. In time I'll be fitting a rear roller door, to the garage, but that's the only thing this house is missing.

Awsome outcome........sounds like a much better pad..gotta love having a projector ( I got one last year and the quality is so good ( when using a screen as opposed to a wall ) I now use it as a permanent TV.

I do feel for the Original Vendor though as they still have to deal with that shitty agent. Hopefully she will persue the matter
