Asked by Tham Yean
Qns about professionalism.
A property agent once told me that the resale unit that I was looking at is 1500sqft.
After looking at the unit, and negotiating for a favourable price, I asked the owner the same question and he told me the size is actually 1450sqft.
When queried, the agent non chalantly said its only 50sqft difference. I feel really uncomfortable with such response. For a 50sqft difference with a $700psf price tag. This could mean a difference of $35,000.
What measures can potential buyer do when making decisions as well as is there any ethics involve for agents to adhere to? I suppose its common to round up +- to nearest during advertising. But not to the extend of 50sqft.
Any professional ppty agents can advice me?
