Batty | Is this legal? |
My house is on the market and a for sale sign is outside. I recently got a letter put through the letterbox from another estate agent telling me that I should be aware that my own agent had gone into liquidation, and offering their own services instead.
I researched this and part of the company that owns my agent has indeed gone into liquidation, but this does not affect the estate agent side of the business at all.
Is this allowed? Surely this is a dirty tactic? Additional Details My Estate Agent is not affected at all by the liquidation, it is running as usual and the liquidation refers to another side of the business completely unconnected to the Estate Agent, so the letter is misleading. |

I dont see it as a dirty tactic, dubious business practise maybe.
they are after your business.
they are presenting (admittedly a one sided) a version fo the facts
they are enticing your to switch to them.
the real question is do you want to sell your house
do you expect the liquidation of the company to affect your chances of selling your house. |

Yes dirty tactics.
It may be grounds for losing a real estate license too.
There are ethics that all realtors must follow if they are part of the National Association of Realtors. I posted the link if you are interested.
I have worked with real estate agents and no one would dream of pulling this stunt.
The following is an excerpt fromt the link I posted...
"Standard of Practice 16-5
REALTORS® shall not solicit buyer/tenant agreements from buyers/ tenants who are subject to exclusive buyer/tenant agreements. However, if asked by a REALTOR®, the broker refuses to disclose the expiration date of the exclusive buyer/tenant agreement, the REALTOR® may contact the buyer/tenant to secure such information and may discuss the terms upon which the REALTOR® might enter into a future buyer/tenant agreement or, alternatively, may enter into a buyer/tenant agreement to become effective upon the expiration of any existing exclusive buyer/tenant agreement. (Adopted 1/94, Amended 1/98)
Standard of Practice 16-6
When REALTORS® are contacted by the client of another REALTOR® regarding the creation of an exclusive relationship to provide the same type of service, and REALTORS® have not directly or indirectly initiated such discussions, they may discuss the terms upon which they might enter into a future agreement or, alternatively, may enter into an agreement which becomes effective upon expiration of any existing exclusive agreement. (Amended 1/98)
Standard of Practice 16-7
The fact that a prospect has retained a REALTOR® as an exclusive representative or exclusive broker in one or more past transactions does not preclude other REALTORS® from seeking such prospect’s future business. (Amended 1/04)
Standard of Practice 16-8
The fact that an exclusive agreement has been entered into with a REALTOR® shall not preclude or inhibit any other REALTOR® from entering into a similar agreement after the expiration of the prior agreement. (Amended 1/98)" |

It's a dirty tactic for sure but isn't illegal really. |

Maybe they heard the whole company had gone under and were trying to get in fast. |

Don't think it is illegal, but a little naughty. |

Not illegal. The other agent is just trying to get your business. |

Not illegal, but certainly (in the UK at least) a breach of advertising rules set out in the CAP Code of Advertising, Sales Promotion and Direct Marketing. |

I would think that my first action would be to show the letter to my own real estate agent. He or she needs to see what other companies are doing.
Please note that agents can go independent - there are lots of levels of "company" involvement, ranging from corporation owned companies with brokers and underlings.... to franchises... to free-lancers who pay fees to link up with listing groups. If you like your current agent, nothing says that you can't stay with him or her. |

Like most things in this country of ours, its dirty but its legal. I would just talk to the better business bureau if you really have a problem with it. If you are really angry write a letter to them informing them you will be speaking to other friends about their Dirty Tactics. |

It's not illegal, but it's not ethical either. If this other company want business, sounds like they are going about it the wrong way by trying to steal other firm's clients such as yourself. Have you mentioned to your own agents the fact that you have received advertising literature from another firm? They may be able to make the necessary formal complaint about it. |
