Poor Communication, Very Disappointing Price, Terrible Experience & Service

Lauren was great talking the talk before I signed the contract to engage Ray White. Once signed, her communication quickly dropped off. In the time the property was on the market, I received only two of the promised weekly written reports (one of which was at my request). When I requested the next weeks report, I was told there was nothing to report on. I had requested a phone call following open homes to give me a quick update however this just didn't happen. Text messages were often not replied to in a timely manner and, in some instances, I had to follow her up for an answer (the next day!). In fact, my last text message sent to her yesterday has not even been responded to. I expressed my concern during the process regarding her lack of communication and openness. She was aware her communication was poor/nonexistent and apologised and acknowledged she needed to do better. This, however, was an empty promise and no improvement to communication was forthcoming. The price achieved was also very disappointing. I agreed to a much lower price than she said would be achieved, as I felt pressured by her to make a quick decision and also had a great distrust in her as an agent throughout the process. I felt completely in the dark during the whole process and feel extremely disappointed by the entire experience, lack of communication and effort.

Thank you for your feedback. I take my professional obligations and client communication seriously, and I’m disappointed to read that this was not your experience. Throughout the campaign, updates were provided and key discussions were had regarding buyer interest, market feedback and pricing, however I acknowledge that our communication styles and expectations may not have aligned at all times. The sale price achieved reflected the market conditions and buyer activity at the time, and all decisions throughout the campaign were made in consultation with you. That said, I respect your right to feel dissatisfied and will take this feedback on board to further refine my processes. I am open to discussing this matter directly should you wish to do so. Kind regards, Lauren Vella
