We’ve finalized a contract for a Brisbane house, but the agent is still scheduling viewings. Is this common practice or should a home under contract be marked as unavailable?
In my experience, this situation is not entirely uncommon, especially in markets where real estate transactions tend to fall through and agents need to keep alternatives open. I encountered a similar case where viewings continued despite a signed contract, which was later clarified as a backup measure in the event the primary deal collapsed. It is advisable to thoroughly review your contract and inquire about any clauses that might allow such practices. Transparency with all parties can provide clarity and ensure that your interests are protected.
Based on my experience, a property under contract should generally not be advertised as available for viewings unless there are specific contingencies involved. I encountered a similar situation where the agent continued to schedule viewings after the contract was signed. This practice might be due to a precaution in case the deal falls through. It is advisable to check the details of your contract and confirm with your legal advisor to ensure that the property has been properly updated in all listings. Accurate communication between all parties is essential to prevent potential misunderstandings.
Hey Luna79, curious if the agent’s tactic is a device to keep options open upon deal failure? Have you confirmed any contractual clauses? I’d love to know if others see this as standard or just a miscommunication.
hey luna79, i reckon its a shady but common tactic to prep for a fall through. best get an update from your agent tho to avoid any mixups.
