Circumstances such as divorce or illness are often featured in advertisements as agents try to use bad and distressing situations to attract buyers.<\/p>\n<p>The sale of a property should have no connection to the motivations of the seller. The price of a property should reflect its features and benefits in relation to its competition in the marketplace, not the seller\u2019s reason for selling.<\/p>\n<h3>In negotiation, as with all things, knowledge is power.<\/h3>\n<p>Accordingly, the more knowledge the buyer has regarding the seller and their personal circumstances, the more power they have and the stronger their negotiating position becomes.<\/p>\n<p>Agents and sellers constantly give away negotiation power when marketing properties. Look at any real estate advertising with headlines screaming:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u2018Marriage bust-up\u2019<\/li>\n<li>\u2018Owners bought elsewhere\u2019<\/li>\n<li>\u2018Deceased estate\u2019<\/li>\n<li>\u2018Urgent sale \u2013 sharks circling!\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Such headlines attract bargain hunters. Get-rich-quick seminars are notorious for recommending that investors target properties with headlines like these.<\/p>\n<p>A Sydney buyer\u2019s agent recently said, \u2018Why is the vendor selling? You need to ask.\u2019 She goes on to say that knowing about a divorce, a deceased estate or a property purchase can save a buyer thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n<p>The danger involved in disclosing vital personal information far outweighs the dubious benefits of such advertising.<\/p>\n<p>A property is a stand-alone entity. It has no emotions or feelings, and therefore should be marketed as such. The features and benefits of a property, and how these relate to the wants and needs of the buyer, are the key marketing and negotiation points in a property sale, not why the property is being sold.<\/p>\n<p>Notwithstanding, sellers and their agent need to have a full and frank discussion regarding the sale. Nothing should be hidden from the agent or from the seller.<\/p>\n<p>Trust is the key to personal relationships. The relationship between agent and seller is personal and private.<\/p>\n<h3>If you can\u2019t\u00a0trust your agent\u00a0with full disclosure, find another agent.<\/h3>\n<p>A professional real estate agent will never disclose personal information, as it is neither necessary nor appropriate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A dangerous trend has emerged in real estate advertising with privacy and price implications.
