Sorry to be anonymiss.
Has anyone experienced the system that the Jenman System agents use.
A friend of mine has recently listed a home with one of their agents.
Most of the agents said it was worth around $480000.
Jenman agent said $510000. And they can always get higher prices than anyone else.As they have suck great negotiating skills and so many people on the books that are qualified buyers.
Only a 49 day contract and they will sell it.
But their commission is higher. But what do you want in your pocket $ 460000 or what we will get you $480000.
The agent signs a form that says the vendor will not be conditioned to lower the price.
That the property has not been over quoted along with a pile of other promises.
What has my friend got to loose. She would be stupid not to list with them.
Then after one week the agent rings and wants a meeting in their office. They cannot tell her over the phone she must come into the office. Must need the body lingo.
At the meeting the agent now says that the property is to high a price, needs repairs and other things.
Really it is only worth around $460000 if lucky.
She says hey you said it was worth around the $500000 and you had a page of buyers waiting.
Now you say you only have one buyer at $460000 and if we miss this buyer it will not sell.
My friend says well what advertising have you done. Answer, we don't believe in advertising. that will lower your price you get.
She says but I saw a add for my house 8 years ago in a paper and that is why I bought the home. The agent says, times have changed. Advertising is not worth it.
She says but all the big Sydney agents advertise. All the car dealers. All the home builders advertise. How else would people know they had anything to sell.
My friend then says . So you want a commission higher than any other agent I could Multulist through.You will not advertise and you want me to accept a lower price than any other agent has suggested that I could get.
The Sydney market is at a frenzie and you want me to give my home away.
I will not subject you to the answer my friend gave the Jenman agent.
Is this a typical way that the Jenman system works or has my friend just found a dud agent.
Does anyone have experience using their agents for selling or purchasing from.
