Just had a bad experience with a real estate agent.QLD
Scenario - 3 houses viewed 899k, 799k, all offers presented
Spoke to real estate agent on 'all offers presented' to get an idea of ball park. Mentioned 650 verbally and he spoke ot vendor and came back with 670 - I said OK I'll go to contract.
Spoke to real estate agent 2 and said not interested in 1st 2 properties as too expensive. Was interested in 799k but too much (twice size of 'open to offers' property with much nicer house.) He rings back and says how does 700k sound - vendor keen to sell.
Sounds interesting says I so ring agent 1 and say on reflection not interested. Agent 1 tells me I have a verbal contract under contract law and the vendor could pursue me through the court
Ring trading standards to be told this is bollocks but decide to pull out of all deals as today has got too hard and I feel massively pressured.
Pissed off as I think I have let a good deal go but will sleep easier having walked away.
