**cashrich** · 15-09-10, 12:10

Start this by gathering the fire sale listing and the wrong post from the net. This could be my new hobby.

they are desperate lah

tactics they use :

they know D5 selling well .. then anyhow post D10 properties in D5

use nice pictures of other unit, with a tiny print saying : not actual unit

Negiotiable , but seriously ? its not...always blame seller for changing price

etc etc

I utterly dislike this kind of approach.

I recalled when I was looking for a condo and have had made many calls to enquired about availability of units with etiher low or reasonable price, the standard answers would be as below

Me: Hi, I'm interested wo your adv about this condo at xxxxxx. Can you arrrange viewin?

Agent: Oh, that unit, sorry sold liao. However, do you mind to tell me your budget so that I can check my database to meet your budget....

Also, I noticed there are certain group of agents would ganged up to fish genuie buyer calls.... example as below:

Agent A, B, C, n... listed adv asking 980K, 965K, 960k etc for an unit in any particular project.

Then a day or two (something up to one week) later, an agent Z listed adv 860k+/- and for sure we will start calling this agent Z. Then again, the same story goes again..." Oh that unit sold liao, you are late, market is good. BTW, mind to share your budget so that I can find one for you...."

Check yourself in Propertyguru & iProperty and you will noticed such acts in abundant....

sucker agent!

Ha ha agreed. I also called before for a unit. Told me I need viewing, just tell me where to meet to pass cheque to agent.

The agent then said, oh that owner withdrew his sales. Got other units, and asked if I am interested.

Can we report these misleading ads to the newly-set up stat board, Council for Estate Agencies (CEA)?

Want to see these errant agents get their butts burnt!

These Agents reflect BADLY on the Companies they represent. How come these Companies never take action? With new CEA, hope that they clamp down on these Companies who can't control their Agents....;blatantly trying to mislead....

The most infuriating thing is this, the advert the agents say 'oh its sold' or 'its withdrawn' is dated the same day I called in. How can it be sold or withdrawn in less than a day?

Also, there are those agents who refused to remove their advert even after its sold so that we can still call to make enquiries and then they'll ask us for our requirements. To them, they call it marketing strategies but to us potential buyers, we sometimes desire honesty more and not want to feel that we've been tricked...

yup too many agents who use this method to fish for more potential buyers.

some even worse..they dont reveal which floor or stack and ask u to make offer..really a joke!!!

**hyenergix** · 19-09-10, 05:33

A lot of developments, especially those MM types, were already fully sold but agents still advertising at ridiculous price to draw enquiries and recommend other units.

Now it is stipulated by law that all housing agents need to go for qualification entry test or something like that. Are they taught proper marketing etiquette and to refrain from such under handed techniques. Basically as a potential buyer, I'll be immediately put off by their manners and immediately not want to engage their service even when they are the sole agent for that unit. This is how stupiah (stupid + piah-slap face

) their marketing techniques make one feel.

How do you prove that? And unless you have plenty of time to try proving he misled you. Just move on and don't be bothered with such agents...

**westman** · 20-09-10, 12:40

another cheap trick to attract buyer with example of wrong representating (misleading????)

http://www.propertyguru.com.sg/listi...rent-lakeholmz

The agent show a nicely deco picture which does not demostrate the right floor layout for Lakeholmz. (Nonetheless, he is kind enough to say it's for illustration purpose)

Question is: He is trying to illustrate "WHAT"?
