Everybody knows that you should be wary of real estate salesmen, after all, they are 'on the side' of seller/buyer or just out to do as little as possible to make a quick sale and forget you ever existed after banking the commission. Well, thats what we thought before we visited Peter FitzGerald Real Estate and met Filipp Lauretti. When Filipp negotiated a selling/buying price for our new home on Balgownie Road, Balgownie, he achieved the first 'impossible'-he negotiated a price fair & equitable to us, and as we now know, to the sellers. From the time a price was agreed to the day we collected the keys to our new pride and joy Filipp was untiring in promptly answering our many calls and going 'over the call of duty' to help and advise us. But it didn't just end there. As we still live in Sydney and we are extensively renovating our new home we constantly called Filipp to kindly liaison with our tradesmen (arrange keys etc) & Filipp has never hesitated to come to our assistance with genuine cheerfulness. (And may we add, your office staff have been just great too!). In conclusion, we would like to take this opportunity to extend our sincere thanks to Peter FitzGerald Real Estate and to your Filipp. We hope we can soon personally thank you all and invite you to join us in our housewarming!!. Well done to Peter FitzGerald Real Estate and Well done young Filipp, we think you have a great future in your profession... John & Bridget Graham - Balgownie |

We wish to thank Peter FitzGerald Real Estate for bringing a favourable outcome on the sale of our property. Your willingness to consider our opinions and enter into discussion was much appreciated as was the fact that you worked persistently and kept in regular contact to provide updates. P. McAlear - Wollongong |

It's not just the deceit but the sheer foolishness of using auctions to sell real estate.
It is well known in real estate that the majority of homebuyers despise auctions (one survey showed that less than ten per cent of buyers preferred the auction method). So, why do some agents choose a method which buyers detest? Because auctions allow agents to lie and lie and lie and then to blame the market.
What you should do, with such a blatant level of deception as you are experiencing, is report the agents to the Queensland Office of Fair Trading.
The reason so many agents tell so many lies is because they know that most consumers can't be bothered complaining.
The agents know there is almost zero chance of being prosecuted.
For the sake of all buyers and sellers, more complaints should be made about agents who brazenly tell lies.
