Median house price Brisbane is over 891,000 11 09 21(ch 9 news ) Amanda Waters had sole exclusive agency on the proviso she found a place for my daughter and I to live. She said her method of sale was to advertise only a few days before one open home usually on the Saturday then follow up on the Monday with the final open home .Amanda Waters drew up the contract for 60 days. She was very convincing and reassuring and because she promised to find us a place to live, I believed 60 days was enough time. As soon as the contract went unconditional and she got the deposit in her account, I did not hear from her again. My house was a large 5 bed(all on one level), 2 bath 2 living , deck, 640 block 11 kl from Brisbane city in sought after area. It needed a paint inside and out but structurally solid as attested to by the building and pest inspector. Amanda Waters from the outset, worked for the buyers. She had 2, 30 minute open homes on the Monday and Wednesday .Following these, she did not want to have another open home the following Saturday. She told me repeatedly that there were no other buyers even close to the 800s. She had one buyer that had offered in the low 8s. This offer turned out to be 805,000 but Amanda said they had no more money She said “ you don’t get the serious buyers on Saturdays; you just get a lot of people looking and just wasting your time. Trust me, you need to go with these buyers. I will work on them to try and get them to pay more.”. Amanda then pushed and pushed me to accept the low offer, convincing me that I would not get a better offer ever and she knew this because of her extensive experience and knowledge of the market. She also kept repeating that I was having an auction, a silent auction. “There are no other buyers out there for your house.”
