Unethical Property Agents

Probably the most unethical group of people in Singapore would be property agents. Especially when the property market is booming like nobody's business. So the agents really become like piranhas biting poor tenants to death.

Hence this blog!

This blog aims to blacklist all unethical property agents for a start. After that, we will sort out the insurance, contractors, bankers, lawyers, doctors etc. This blog shall be the nemesis of unethnical people in Singapore!

Ok, back to property agents, just to list a few unethnical practices here

1) Promise this but deliver something else: this one we all now, promise 5min to MRT become 15min.

2) Not negotiating for tenants: Since their commission is half mth rent, they will never negotiate to lower their own commission right? But this is unethnical, hence if any agent to this, report here and get them blacklisted.

3) Purposely dont help tenant search until time is up: when the time is up, ie tenant needs to move tomorrow, they get into action so that they can take advantage of tenants who are desperate.

4) Forget about tenant after receiving commission: tenant running into issues with owner, other problems etc but they just heck care!

5) Bully tenants after they rejected prospective viewing: they thought they could close the deal but somehow the tenant decided to back out and they stop helping the tenants, scold them etc.

This list is not exhaustive and the blogger welcome all comments to make it more comprehensive! So pls contribute!Next post, the list of blacklisted property agents!
