the only thing that I’ll add to that V8, is that experienced agents can make good money on comms only but not as a fresh-faced kid. You’re definitely better off starting in an administration role, even if it means putting out signs, typing up rent rolls & OFI’s etc.

I’d still be going through oft & getting the agent’s balls on toast. Nothing hurts the agent more than bad press & a fine.

You may even be able to claim on the agents compensation fund.

Seek legal advice regarding lodging a caveat over the property as well, that will screw up any prospective deal.

It sounds to me that you might get out of it cheaply. Is each unit freestanding? Have common walls? Multi-storey? Have common areas?

I only ask because Qld is a strange place with its strata laws so seeking professional advice will be warranted.

What makes you think the email isn’t legit Sash?

What is the deal? Are they running a ‘tab’ for your training & going to take this from your comms?

Are you getting at least 50% comms?

Do they provide qualified leads? Doing cold calls?

What else will they be deducting from your comms? Eg all promo material, phone, business cards, notebook, etc?

Are you selling off the plan? If so, you will be waiting a very long time to receive your comms.

As a matter of fact I have just sent them my wife’s bank account, credit card details & password.

I hope she strikes it rich!

hmmm, sorry to break the news but restumping won’t solve a rising damp issue.

Just because you didn’t get a building inspection doesn’t stop you getting one now to get a scope of work & to quantify your costs.

If the ip is a unit, why aren’t the rectification costs to be borne by body corporate from the sinking fund/special levies? You don’t own anything outside of your walls/floor/ceiling but the liability may extend to inside your property if the cause is external.

If you have rising damp, you would have dampcourse or flashing issues

Hi Angel, you would need to refer to the DA, the zoning & any management agreement to confirm if it is possible. If the zoning & DA are in conflict, then you would seek to amend the DA to allow permanent occupancy.
