Please sign petition for allowing a price guide on houses for sale

[Ed Barton]

Just to note the REBAA press release noted before. The facts need to be mentioned.
The government isn't removing price guides or banning a something in use today. Qld doesn't produce price guides for auctions today. The law around RE transactions is being updated and the restriction in price guides is as before. Interesting that none of the other real changes are being debated by the industry.

Are you saying that the current law in QLD prohibits price guides for auctions? I don't think it does.

While price guides seem less common in QLD, they still do occur.

It's in the proposed new QLD legislation due to be passed mid year.

As I said earlier (but mistakenly put $900K instead of $990K on that last post that you are now quoting), we were very open and honest in our price quoting.

And wylie, I think our ethics would cause us to always try for Win/Win deals with the vendors/buyer we deal with.

However, not everyone has the manners or ethics we have. Hence this situation.

None of the industry solutions seem to concern themselves about what happens when we are faced with fraudulent or unethical price guides. And maybe why Qld has a different approach to deal with this.
