Sign a standard real estate sale contract a few months ago but the agent basically has been pretty average clearly got the cheapest ad on realestate.com.au because from day one it has been 2-3 pages from the front page and he didnt get any professional photos even though i signed a contract saying he would?
Give the guy credit he has had at least 1 open every week but what he was saying i would get and the one offer i have got was significantly lower in what he basically said i could get prior to signing up with him but did try pressure me to take the low offer which has lead me to believe he is trying to make a quick buck…
So im at a cross roads im going to give him a few more weeks but then ill probably do a bit of light maintenance on the property and rent it out again wait for the market to pick up in 12-24months
Anyone know how it works when firing at real estate agent? i clearly dont have to pay commission if he hasn't sold it? there isnt anything in the contract about what happens if he doesnt sell the property?
Market fees were a set cost but he didnt get the professional photos and didnt really pay much for the online ad and due to not actually selling the property do i have to pay for the marketing? im assuming i might?
has anyone had to change or fire there agent before?
This is in Victoria for anyone asking
Check your agency agreement - no one can really tell you what's in it without reading it. Usually - yes you would have to pay for marketing costs for marketing they actually did, and usually you have to give set length written notice. No - no commission is payable if it didn't sell.
