It is hoped, I am welcome in the forum and this is my first posting.

I have evidence, a real estate agent in Sydney tried to rob me of my home, when he was asked to auction the property.

Who and where, should I report this matter to?

Thanks.

Wouldn't the police be a good place to start?

And when you get off the phone from the Five-o, post details here :pop:

The keyboard warriors will give the agents responsible a good interweb beating.

To be honest I don't know. As far as I know there is no real estate ombudsman, but there will be some mechanism for a complaint to be lodged.

I would call the RE institute for NSW (don't laugh) - I think that you will find there is a means of lodging your complaint with a disciplinary board.

I would be interested in finding out how you go, and what options there are to lodge professional complaints.

I shall wait and see, whether I will have to do that, even though he has thrown 'sand into my rice bowl', I hate to do likewise. I will be more interested to publicize the issue, so that others who have to make use of the services of a real estate agent will be wary. While there are many ethical agents acting professionally but if you happen to be involved with just one unethical element, whatever you have built over the years would be gone.

Consequently, I have lost my home and all my other assets, all up totalling more than $2.0m. Eventually, I hope to be fully compensated.

I agree, there is no real estate ombudsman and the only avenue open to victims is to find out, whether the unscrupulous real estate agent is a paying member of the REI of NSW. If so, only then REINSW will investigate the complaint to be officially lodged.

We will have to bear in mind, the respondent is a paying member of a quasi-government body and the complainant is not paying any fee to the REINSW. Perhaps, it will be akin to asking a mother to investigate her son's alleged robbery.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis. Topics unsuitable for the main forum may be discussed in the lounge. You agree you won't use this forum to post material that is illegal, private, defamatory, pornographic, excessively abusive or profane, threatening, or invasive of another forum member's privacy.

Accusations, attacks, abuse or threats, litigious or otherwise, directed against the forum or forum administrators aren't tolerated and will result in immediate suspension of your account for a number of days depending on the severity of the attack. No spamming or advertising in the main forum. Spamming includes repeating the same message over and over again within a short period of time. Don't post ALL CAPS thread titles. The Advertising and Promotion Subforum may be used to promote your Australian property related business or service. Active members of the forum who contribute regularly to main forum discussions may also include a link to their product or service in their signature block. Members are limited to one actively posting account each. A secondary account may be used solely for the purpose of maintaining a blog as long as that account no longer posts in threads.
