Apparently the mass population is told that 'false advertising' is a no-no, where multi-million dollar penalties apply to companies who resort to this sort of business style.
Optus copped a $2million fine a little while ago.
The real estate company Ray White tout themselves as Australasia's largest real estate group.
People involved in the real estate 'game' are aware of the differences between a house, a flat, an apartment and a unit.
Some savvy house buyers should also be aware of the very distinct differences between the above mentioned places of residence.
So let's take a closer look at Ray White's false advertising.
They listed a property as a house as seen within the second line of the pdf below;
Upon closer inspection the "house" as stated by Ray White, is not really a house, but rather a unit as seen in a photograph of the above mentioned premises.
Could they be trying to get more cash for advertising a unit as a house ?
Whatever the real reason for their false advertising, we do not recommend Ray White, "Australasia's largest real estate group" for any real estate transactions.
I just had my own experience with Ray White. The house I was renting was through Sweeney, the house got struck by lightning, electric garage and alarm were destroyed, the owner didn't want to fix anything, decided to sell the house through Ray White and then get them to manage my rental in the process. In the advertisement, they stated it has an electric garage and alarm system....it doesn't....i moved out two weeks ago and the new owners still haven't moved in. But the ray white property manager never set foot in the rental until after I handed in my keys, and then even tried to get me for damages that were listed in the original conditions report BECAUSE he had never seen the house or the conditions report!!
