We\u2019ve been in the property industry a fair time now and know all the best service providers sellers and buyers need to talk with as they pursue their next step in\u00a0 life. Sadly, in these litigious times, our knowledge and experience cannot be conveyed to you!<\/p>\n
It all stems from a situation like this, where someone, say, a realtor has advised a client to use the services of supplier \u2018A\u2019 and they have duly done so. The information or services or reports supplied by \u2018A\u2019 have formed the basis for a sale or purchase and a sale has proceeded. Later, the information proves to be errant and major costs result for the seller or buyer [mostly the latter]. <\/p>\n
Legal action is taken by the client,\u00a0\u2018A\u2019 proves not to have insurance cover or securable assets\u2026.and everyone loses. Next step for the complainant is to pursue the person who advised the seller or buyer and that\u2019s where we sit.\u00a0 Our legal and insurance people have commanded that we realtors must fall in behind insurance, building, finance and other service industries along with banks and councils. In short, we can\u2019t suggest someone for you to use.<\/p>\n
So, here\u2019s some advice we can offer: Carefully seek out suppliers and service providers who are members of national associations, carry comprehensive insurance cover [statutory, Professional Indemnity, Public Liability] and who can show you a list of references you can research. It\u2019s also worth checking on Complaints Procedures they promote too.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a shame we can\u2019t use our years of experience but as they say, \u201cIt\u2019s the way of today\u2019s world!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
