Don't Sign Anything Unless You Have A Guarantee
03 Nov 2023| Posted by: Dave Tidbold
If you're selling your property - probably your most valuable asset; please 'Don't sign anything' until you have a guarantee that the service you have been 'promised' actually gets delivered.
According to the Roy Morgan Image of Professions Survey 2021, 95% of Australians do not trust real estate agents or have had a bad experience.
Research confirms sellers and buyers are increasingly more frustrated with agents' lies and deceptive tactics. This research is supported by the high number of people selling and buying who complain continuously about the service they receive.
DON'T BE FOOLED BY UNETHICAL AGENTS
Agents are becoming more desperate to obtain listings and sales. Some agents go to great lengths to get listings by claiming to have buyers willing to make offers immediately, and overquoting the price to get the listing.
In fact, the overquoting of the selling price is costing home sellers thousands of dollars, as they get sucked into paying for endless advertising campaigns and their overpriced property turns into a 'lemon'.
Agents are being taught to get listings no matter what it takes and then to 'subtly condition' the seller (beat the seller down in price) to an easy sale price to get a sale.
As a home seller you must be very wary of the agent you employ. Most typical agents are taught the same practices. Typical agent methods are only good for the agent and are not designed to protect the sellers. This is the reason 95% of people have bad experiences or feel frustrated with agents.
YOUR PROTECTION GUARANTEE
You need a 'guarantee' that protects you when selling.
Tidbold Real Estate is the first and only real estate agency in Redland City to back their service by providing all home sellers with a 'Home Sellers' Service Guarantee'. Get your copy of the 'Home Sellers' Service Guarantee' at tidboldrealestate.com.au.
Here are just three of the nine things we guarantee:
- Cancellation agreement - The seller has the right to cancel the agent's agreement if they're not happy with the agent's performance.
- False Quoting/Bait Pricing - The agent will not market or promote the property by use of a lower price than what the sellers are willing to accept. Underquoting to attract buyers is a common practice by agents, but is contrary to the interests of the sellers.
- Zero advertising costs - The agent agrees to provide professional advertising and marketing for the property at no cost to the sellers.
We guarantee the service you receive from us will be very different from typical agents. This means you will be protected from any financial or emotional loss.
Remember, if you sell with us you will be safe. We offer you our SMARTRE SALE Strategy which includes a NO SALE, NO CHARGE service with ZERO upfront advertising costs, and of course a written SERVICE GUARANTEE.
