Just wondering out loud and would like opinions please.
Our fully renovated and unique house sold within 2 days of listing a month or so ago (3 out of 5 inspections put in an offer for it), yet still is being used as 'bait' advertising on RE.com.au, and up to a couple of weeks ago, paid advertising in the local paper by the agency.
(I never pay for advertising so I really don't care, but...)
On one hand, I can understand them using our home to lure potential buyers yet, I really think that this ploy largely works against agencies who do this.
Firstly, as a potential buyer, I'd be thinking that if they can't sell such a nice home (at a realistic price, in the recent market) quickly, I'd consider them pretty useless, would never use them in future, and my 'spot the RE Agents tricks' radar would be running hot.
Secondly, I'd be really annoyed at having wasted my time, realizing this indeed, was yet another RE trick.
Please, what are thoughts?
