    Usually you would get the idea when you went through the buying process ten years earlier.

    The two choices I faced were local agent, or something like purplebricks. Chose local agent, they weren't that much more expensive. Actually I'm curious about purplebricks - what sort of agents do they use? surely they don't have employees in every suburb of every city - so do they contract out to local agents?

    To be honest I wouldn't even consider purple bricks....they're not acting in seller's best interest and this article gives some insight on why:
    Purple Bricks 'misleading the public', says REIWA

    I have had my clients contacting multiple purple bricks agents trying to put an offer for property and they simply don't return calls and shows no interest in selling the property. In one instance they finally came back with contract of sale but the finance/B&P details were completely wrong from what we put in on the website form. When we requested the agent to correct the detail as per the website form and resend the contract, they then come back with either accept the current terms as is or bump up the purchase price...

    Cheers,
    David

    Sounds like normal agents to me, nothing new.
