Private Sales on Realestate.com?

Posted on 15/04/2009. Filed under: Real Estate | Tags: , , , , |

There’s an interesting blog thread here about private sales on www.realestate.com.au

http://www.business2.com.au/2009/04/10/private-sales-now-on-realestatecomau/

It is based around the fact that some licensed agents are using their ability to add property to realestate.com.au and offer this as a stand alone marketing package, thereby listing private sale properties on what is an agent only site.

Whether you agree or disagree that it should be for agents only is not the point. It is the blatant abuse of the system by agents wanting a quick easy buck and wanting to enhance their profile on realestate.com.au

If agents are actually signing sellers up with a listing agreement they have a duty as a real estate agent as governed by the Real Estate and Business Agents Act. So if they are simply listing these properties and doing nothing else, is that in breach of the Act? Any thoughts?

My Mum used to say

Posted on 09/04/2009. Filed under: Blogging | Tags: , |

My Mum used to say I would sleep through an earthquake, and she was probably only half joking. But I woke up this morning before 3am with insomnia. But I’m putting it to good use. At least I think I am.

I am hoping a blog will help me tie all my different identities together. I don’t mean I have split personalities, just all the various personas I have out there in cyberspace, from a personal profile on facebook and my own website experiment at myvegepatch.com, to mostly business related tweets and updates on websites I work on professionally.

My work is in the real estate industry in Perth WA and I am passionate about both real estate and Perth. I enjoy gardening and growing vegetables, cooking, camping, diving and watching my hubby spearfishing.

I have become very interested in social media marketing and enjoy learning about the constant evolution of the internet.

Looking forward to learning more about blogging.
