We've just moved into our new house and the agent has sent a postcard to all our neighbours advertising the sale price! Apart from being bloody rude, I thought that sale prices could not be made public for six weeks? Comments?

yet them know you are disappointed that the transaction that you paid money for
is being used by them to try and drum up business without your permission
and that you are annoyed enough that you are investigating to see if they have broken the 6 week law
like petty criminals
they consider no conviction
all the permission they need to continue and escalateLast edited by eri; 26-01-2013, 03:26 PM.have you defeated them?

You must have got a good price and they got over excited. I bought a place for a bargain. In the regular recent sales update a different agent sent me, the house I recently purchased was missing from the list....
They will work their sales advertising to make the market look better than it is.

Oh those damn agents! Who would be one of those!
Never heard of a 6 week law.
I agree, this would annoy me as well. It is a bit cheeky, but I guess what they're trying to do is attract business by showing they're active in the area etc. They might also be trying to condition the owners in that area i.e. you can sell but this is what houses are selling for...
In real estate it is almost impossible to do your job without offending someone in one way or another.Squadly dinky do!

Just as an aside... I've been told several times before from agents that sales prices are not public for six weeks. I have know idea where that comes from though. If you agree that any publicity is good publicity, I can see the point in doing it but I personally think that the bad reactions you'd inevitably get from it wouldn't be worth the risk.Last edited by drelly; 28-01-2013, 12:39 PM.You can find me at: Energise Web Design

Terrible, and something I would have expected from maybe a big city agent perhaps not as fully versed in the law as they claim to be. But a Kiwi from a smaller city where everyone knows everyone.. that is another matter.
Perhaps letting her know that your mind may not be set on her selling the house when you decide to move on because of what she has done may get the message through, though too late for you maybe not for the next person.
