Avoid. A Costly, Stressful and Deeply Disappointing Experience.

Avoid. A Costly, Stressful and Deeply Disappointing Experience. If you're considering selling with Nader Hotait at Ray White Eastern Beaches please read this first. We listed our three bedroom freestanding family home near Maroubra Beach expecting the premium service his reputation promises. What we got was the opposite. 1. Broken Promise — After we took our property off market Nader pursued us assuring us he had interested off-market buyers. Not a single contract was exchanged. He then pivoted to a new campaign framing the advertising as a discounted favour. It did not deliver. 2. Embarrassment — No pre-auction offers. No registered bidders. The digital styling placed a lounge chair blocking the only backyard access and the signboard used the same photo twice. 3. Hidden Cost — We paid $10,776 for a campaign industry data suggests should cost $4,000 to $8,000. Zero results. 4. Failure — The property sold 24% below independent valuation and 17% below our reserve in a market that only softened 3 to 6%. Our expectations were talked down throughout the campaign. His commission was higher than competitors and he refused to reduce it. 5. Negligence — The house was left unsecured five times. Garage left open exposing valuables. Sliding doors left open causing wet carpets. Lights and aircon left running for days at our cost. When raised we were met with denial. 6. Disappointment — Most interactions were handled by junior staff. When Nader was needed he required persistent chasing. Not what you pay a premium for. Don't make the same mistake we did.
