Every business be it a good or bad business model is open to being scrutinized and this will become even greater in the future. A great book on this is Peter Sheahan's new book 'FLIP' and the example of Ribena and the school girls testing their claims about Vitamin content. If its a good business model it will prosper. Most times the business simply needs a couple of changes and it can work but not sure what they can do in this case. To rate an agent as poor without any facts & then asking that same agent to pay you a listing referral fee - I don't think so. It's going to be difficult for them to juggle being on the consumers side & on the agents side at the same time. They should re-think it & move forward or do something completely different.

Agents to sit back and just accept that rubbish. Why is it your fault that agents found their business plan worked directly against their interest?s Oh yeah.... you highlighted it so its your fault !! funny how some people think..

I just got an email saying that I am always bashing the little guy. That is incorrect. I love it when something new challenges the norm, but this sort of dribble just races my blood.

So for those who may be a bit confused asd what they may be looking for no longer appears. I understand that plenty of agents phoned them threatening legal action - which explains why all have now been removed.

Once I threatened immediate legal action we were immediately removed. I have also reported them to the REINSW who have commenced an immediate investigation. They have also been reported to the Office of Fair Trading. Many real estate offices have called them demanding their immediate removal.
