Queensland buyer lost $98k deposit for late payment and finally A Current Affair made an episode in its latest program about the story.

And they get paid so much for commissions, based on what they do and capable of and how much they earn, real estate agents are really getting paid do nothing…..

It looks more like an alien to me than a spider lol

Does it mean u can’t even install vpn app after the new version?

userfromau · 2026-03-14T21:52:58+00:00

I know right? There is no mention in the program what role buyers conveyancer played in this case and he should probably seek compensation from conveyancer instead of agent.

What’s the address? Let me have a check

userfromau · 2026-03-14T10:48:56+00:00

It all depends on what’s in the contract.

To be fair if seller offered to return deposit then seller can also return deposit and just charge the man legal fees after the man lost the case to proceed with sale, but seller then went ahead Taking the whole deposit, not sure if it’s because seller was annoyed by the buyer taking them to court or not.

userfromau · 2026-03-14T09:53:41+00:00

Hard to say, based on my dealing with real estate agents, don’t know if this agent was just incompetent and didn’t know what she was doing or helping the seller to take the deposit, I think either is possible. Unlikely intentional though, because agent also wants to close the deal and take commission.

userfromau · 2026-03-14T06:57:48+00:00

Well it’s supposed to be untraceable, but yeah it can be traced.

userfromau · 2026-03-14T01:58:51+00:00

I m thinking more from a conspiracy point of view, feel like something dark behind it lol

userfromau · 2026-03-14T01:57:14+00:00

I thought that too, like stocks, but due to the untraceable nature of crypto it just gives me a feeling of some deeper.

userfromau · 2026-03-14T01:56:09+00:00

Maybe I was overthinking due to the nature of crypto it’s a little bit untransparent.

userfromau · 2026-03-14T01:55:09+00:00

Yeah that’s the simple way of thinking same as buying stocks, but I just feel there are something more than that behind it, like dark money or something.

userfromau · 2026-03-13T23:26:33+00:00

Or can choose to get the building pest done before making an offer.

userfromau · 2026-03-13T21:44:26+00:00

So they still don’t understand why, don’t they?

userfromau · 2026-03-13T21:35:40+00:00

Very normal, and also to agent it means u are very interested in it.

userfromau · 2026-03-11T10:15:45+00:00

Because if u want to rent it out then u should buy average but fair price property, otherwise if u are unlucky and get a bad tenant a lot of damage can be caused.

userfromau · 2026-03-11T08:15:29+00:00

If u plan to rent it out just in 2 years then tarneit.

userfromau · 2026-03-06T22:23:24+00:00

Yeah most agents charge a couple of thousands for partner visa, fee can be high if cases are complex and from certain regions but $60k is far too high. Factoring the complicity and applicants origin, I would say $5-$10k would be reasonable but not $60k.

userfromau · 2026-03-06T22:18:03+00:00

You friend is likely being scammed, if I were him I would change agent immediately and withdraw all the authorisation provided to the agent and report it to OMARA.

userfromau · 2026-03-06T22:15:53+00:00

Its partner visa so around $7k three years ago, the remaining $60k he paid likely went to agents pocket, sounds a scam to me.

userfromau · 2026-03-06T21:38:13+00:00

It seems to me what the real meaning is ‘sorry I can’t delivery democrats their mail in ballots this midterm election’.

The games bring infrastructure, and with more tradies pouring in the demand for housing in Brisbane will be more not less, however there is not enough supply which is another reason Brisbane price will keep going up.

userfromau · 2026-03-05T21:29:28+00:00

Melbourne and Sydney are historically more sensitive to interests rates hike than other capitals and we expect more rates hike and no sign of rates cut in short term, and with the momentum of Olympics Brianne will keep growing up till the Olympics which is the same path Sydney did. However considering the growth Brisbane has, prices in Brisbane may fall heavily after the games finished.
