I Hate Real Estate Agents!!!

Before anyone jumps down my throat – yes I’m still an agent (technically, but not practicing), that’s why I can say it :-P

Take this prime example of misleading advertising:


I called out of interest. Those strata levies would kill me.

$560K - $580K

Yep! Affordable my arse! Affordable for whom? Not this first home buyer doing it alone!

Oh my dear and fluffy lord, where is this "affordable" home!?!?!?!? Does it have views of Heaven? Was the granite shipped from somewhere exotic? Are the floorboards made of some rare, practically extinct wood? The Spacious balcony is as big as the rest of the apartment? And close to $4000 in strata levies (if I'm reading pq as per quarter)?!?!?

That sucks!

Oh and just in case you missed it - your letter is G. *grin* Enjoy

Mez, I've had to put the whole purchase thing on hold for at least 6 months. It kills me. I'm still checking the papers and the net each week for market research.

MissE - It's in Randwick of all places. I wouldn't even call Randwick eastern suburbs hmmpf.

Nothing special and yes the levies are just under $4K.

I'll be living out of my car soon

I'll do the meme on Thursday :-) G. Oh, man could it be any harder??? yes, X hehehe

Strata levies are horrendous and you never get your money's worth!

Can I join you in hating real estate agents (not you, of course!)? There's one in particular who p!ssed me off so badly that I'll never ever ever deal with him again. I don't care if he's 'popular' in my area!

cBabe, believe me i know (ex strata manager here)

I have an evil concocted plan for a local real estate agent. He pissed me off. Never upset this one! I'll help you get yours too if you wnat.
