568 | Buyer’s Agents Behaving Badly? The Good, The Bad, and The Dangerous – Chat with Melinda Jennison


Listen Later

There’s a surge of new buyer’s agents flooding the market… 

Some are brilliant, ethical and genuinely helping buyers win in tough conditions. 

But others? They’re charging upfront fees, disappearing on clients, buying properties sight unseen... and even recommending complex trust and super structures they’re not licensed to advise on. 

So how do you tell the difference between a trusted advocate and a fast-talking spruiker? 

To help us cut through the noise, we’re joined by someone who’s leading the fight for higher industry standards: 

Welcome Melinda Jennison, President of REBAA (Real Estate Buyers Agents Association of Australia) 

In this cautionary episode, we unpack: 

❌ The red flags to look for BEFORE you hire a buyer’s agent 
⚖️ The licensing loophole allowing unqualified operators to cross borders 
💸 Ghosting, pressure tactics & “kickback referrals” you’ll never be told about, and more! 

Tune in now.
