  Consumer service to help you find the best agent to sell with  

How our real estate reference service works.

Our point for consumers is clear when you are selling real estate it is a big decision.

For most people just making the decision to sell is stressful enough. You really don't want to be subjected to trained salespeople desperate to get more properties for sale.

This basically just makes the decision harder when really all you want to know is how much money will i get and how long will it take.

Nearly all consumers are concerned that they are just being told only what the agent thinks they want to hear, rather than truth and the facts about how the sale may proceed.

The truth is really not that sinister.

It is more a case of the sales agents are just trying to make a living, they work in an industry where you do not get paid unless you make sales, generally they are not deliberately being misleading its probably more a case of them being over enthusiastic and some times this leads to making promises that can not be fulfilled.

Their desire to win your business is understandable, and the fact is most times enthusiasm is a beneficial quality in a salesperson with the proviso that it is tempered with honesty.

We believe that there are good real estate agents who will help you and get you a better sale price, its just finding them can be a little tricky.

Ultimately that is the main point of employing real estate agent so you can sell your property for a higher amount than you could have achieved if you sold the property yourself.

You also want a representative who will handle some of the stress of this transaction for you.

Our service is just about helping consumers to find the best real estate agents to speak with in their area.

In most areas we can safely recommend a specific real estate agency and in other areas we will suggest a couple of agents for you to speak to.

Why do we do it ?

Real estate agents are always looking for new properties to put on the market, they need to find new properties to sell all the time to stay in business.

In fact real estate agents are so keen to find properties to sell they will pay what is known in the industry as a referral fee to us for finding them details of a new customers who want to sell.

The agents pay us a referral fee as a sort of finders fee.

Our system is immediate as soon as we receive your email we contact the agent and get them to ring you, so you get the best agent when you want them.

Plus the other big benefit of using our system is you help other consumers in your area because we invite you to review the agents after speaking to them.

Any agent using our system knows their performance will be rated by you on this web site, the only difference is you have contacted them here, instead of just ringing them when you want the appraisal.

You rate the real estate agent on their customer service

When your property is sold we ask you to rate your real estate agent on their level of performance and customer care in selling your property.

The agents are rated using our 1 to 5 star rating system on their customer service level.

We are building up an accurate guide for all future consumers on which real estate agents provide the best customer service in each area around Australia.

Our web site will then display these ratings and comments from consumers as they become available.

This rating system helps your community

The rating and comments will become an accurate guide for your neighbors and future real estate buyers and sellers in your community of who really are the best real estate agents in your area to deal with.
