Good morning, Yesterday I was told by my Real estate agent that someone has been standing outside (twice) my house during the open house and saying that my house needs too much doing to it and being negative about it.
I am in Victoria and just want to know the laws on this.
This person has not been one of two who has had a building inspection and is not in a position of authority to say these things. (Wanting a cheaper house?)
Is he standing in a public space and is the information they are stating correct? I presume that the information is correct as you have not stated that they are speaking crap.
Sorry, i should have been clearer, what they are saying is not from a position of authority - or 'crap' as you put it! They are on the street right infront of my gate, so can they do this? My house is fine and yes it needs some tlc, but not to what they are saying!

Do you know this person? What is their beef with you?
Needs some TLC - to me sounds like it's a shed masquerading as a house. Post a link to it from Real Estate and let us judge for you! Maybe I'll come down and say good things about it for you

Can someone get away with this?

the first thing to do is find out who they are.
that way if they are attempting to drive away buyers so they can come in with a low ball bid you know it's their handy work.
for my money it sounds like a form of harassment, next time i happens give your RE instructions to film them, then take it to the police and file for a restraining order.

If your house is shonky then fix it up.
If your house is fine but just needs a lick of paint, then get a building and pest report done yourself and hand a copy to prospective buyers, as well as a copy to the gent out the front.

idunno peter, you've seen how people pick and choose their facts on here. i doubt this guy is any different, and he could well be violent when confronted.

im not sure if it's a criminal offense, but there are agents in melbourne who will do 'by appointment only' which would make it difficult for someone to know when your house will be open.

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.
