All Topics / General Property / Estate Agent Credential check
I am in the process of selecting a PM who told me that Estate Agency they work for is part of REIV.
I thought that shouldn’t be hard to check out so I went to http://www.reiv.com.au and was able to find that they were registered…Now what I would like to know if the Agency has been in trouble with consumer affairs before so I had a bit of a look at http://www.consumer.vic.gov.au & couldn’t find much info .If the recourses are on the internet I think it is worth checking. [hmm][hmm]
Does anyone know any sites that I could search to get some info , I am in Victoria.
I have lodged an enquiry to try & find out if there is a resource available to check if complaints have been lodged against Estate Agents in victoria.
As I find information I will post it.[thumbsupanim]http://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/cbav/fairsite.nsf/pages/of_enquiries

I received a call from consumer affairs regarding the enquiry I made.
Consumer affairs have a record of all complaints this includes successful prosecution & complaints which were not substantiated. This database is not available to the public.
What is available to the public are media releases & documents of successful prosecutions.You can find this information by going to
http://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/
Enter prosecution or Undertakings into the search field.You here lots of stories about dodgy deals , spending some time researching may save heart ache later.[happy3]
