buyer’s agent

Hi skrabo

I just met a lady in Perth whose got a less than flattering opinion about her buyers agent.  She tells me she signed up with the agent and after awhile wasn't happy with the service.  She story goes that when she went to cancel the buyer's agency agreement, she was told that she'd signed up for 12 months.  Also that if she bought any property in W.A. within 12 months of the date of the agreement, she'd have to pay the buyer's agent commission.  She's now looking for property on the east coast.

I guess there's always two sides to every story but I'd suggest, as always, that you carefully read any agreement you're presented with.

Cheers,  Paul
