Hi, Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on why an agent would not disclose the address in the ad of a property for sale in Brisbane on realestate.com. My initial suspicion was the location was poor but this didn't seem to be the case when I called up to ask the location.
Property for sale - address not disclosed
- Thread starter twistedstats
- Start date
They want interested buyers to call or otherwise contact them. This is just a tactic to generate sales leads primarily.
... and it worked. You called them!
I went to one last weekend, (Brisbane suburbs), it was a little old lady who didn't want her address advertised. But since the market is hot, there were quite a lot of people at the open, (more than I expected) and the little old lady who had been living there since the 1960's was there, original owner, dressed lovely, too, and she'd make yo have a bit of a connection with the property. Anyway, I think she added to the appeal of the place to be honest!
And I think since the address wasn't listed, the people there thought it was a better opportunity to buy than if the address had been listed, and it actually had a few people going into a bit of a battle afterwards to buy. Anyway, she got her price (and then some) on the day of the open.

Probably would've called on a lot more properties if I had known the address. I also would've thought disclosing the address would generate more enquiries = leads. Maybe in this market, a bit of reverse psychology works for the seller perhaps.
I'd say it also weeds out the tyre kickers as they're not likely to bother.
