The real reason the Real Estate Agent won't tell you the house price⎥Ep. 2098

About this episode

In this episode, we discuss: why real estate agents often won’t tell you the price upfront … and what you can do about it.

It’s one of the biggest frustrations buyers have — feeling like the agent is being deliberately vague or even misleading. But is it just sales speak … or are they breaking the rules?

You’ll learn:

What to say to get the price out of an agent

Which rules agents are meant to follow

And examples of agents who got caught and fined for misleading buyers💥

Plus, we revisit some of the Real Estate Authority’s most shocking rulings and what they mean for you as a buyer.
