Sydney real estate agents who deliberately underquote property prices have been put on notice as Fair Trading takes aim at the practice.
NSW Fair Trading inspectors will attend auctions, open houses and agencies across Sydney to identify agents deliberately low-balling property values, with those caught facing fines of up to $22,000.
They could also lose their commission, and face jail.
Legally, NSW real estate agents need to provide an estimated selling price with evidence, based on how much similar homes in the area have recently sold for. The price can either be one figure, or within a 10 per cent range, however it also needs to be revised during the auction campaign as more information around buyer expectations comes to light.
Better Regulation Minister Keven Anderson said $6,000 worth of fines have already been handed out after Fair Trading inspectors found 14 breaches while inspecting 33 agents.
Fines were also issued for operating without a licence or operating without the right insurance.
And in the year to September 2020, Fair Trading issued nearly $400,000 in fines.

WONDERFUL Post.thanks for share..more wait .. ?
I in addition to my guys were actually reading the best tips and tricks located on your website then quickly got an awful suspicion I never expressed respect to the website owner for those secrets. My young men became as a result passionate to learn them and have in effect clearly been taking pleasure in those things. Thank you for getting really helpful and for choosing this sort of terrific themes most people are really eager to be informed on. My sincere regret for not expressing appreciation to you earlier.
Thanks for the strategies presented. One thing I should also believe is always that credit cards presenting a 0 rate of interest often attract consumers along with zero rate, instant acceptance and easy on the net balance transfers, however beware of the main factor that will void your current 0 easy road annual percentage rate plus throw you out into the poor house quickly.
