.............. I am breathing deep breaths....breathe breathe
An alert for property traders
I just had a fantastic 'learning experience' (I am being positive) with the "licensee/branch manager" of Raywhite, Royal Heights....
--Went u/c on a property in west auckland on Tuesday
--Deposit payable on u/c - $5000
--Back from Chch from a funeral on Thursday am
--Call from branch manager on Thursday pm stating 'I am obviously an investor by the way the contract is written up' and is advising the vendors solicitor to issue a despot notice because u/c was last Friday. I advised deposit would be paid Monday 4th. His tone and attitude was quite negative
--I sent a fax stating that he needed to get his facts straight, I didn't like his tone, and that was fine to have notice issued as technically it was due Tuesday, and I would not buy or sell through his office again
--I advise him I will be paying my lawyer instead of his trust account
--I advise I will be sharing my experience with my property friends
--I had requested access to show some buyers through on Friday
--He turns up, speaks to the vendor and has me 'removed' from the property
-- He advises me that he is now dealing with my buyers
His parting comments as we walked down the drive included:
--I have a moral issue because the vendor had lost her husband and has 2 children, he didn't like the fact I bought it $25000 under rv
--He tells me I have an ethical issue because I am placing the money with my lawyer
--He tells me I can not have access to show potential buyers
Now here is the lesson:
--About the guy, well I''ll leave that up to you
--The condition said that the vendor allows access for ' potential tradespeople, professionals and tenants"
What I should have said was "potential tradespeople, professionals, purchasers and tenants"
What do I do now?
--Cut the agent out
--I am going to visit the vendor and apologise to her, it was an embaressing situation for everyone
--Explain that as well as buying and selling houses, I do them up, help people into their first home etc
--Try to gain an agreement for access
Another lesson in the property game
Keep smiling
