EP 289 Warning: Not All Buyers Agents Know Their Limits (The Property Couch)


Listen Later

This episode is an important consumer warning for home buyers and property investors.

Not all buyer’s agents are operating within the scope of their license, and some are providing property, financial, or investment advice they are not legally qualified to give. This can expose buyers to serious financial risk, compliance issues, and costly mistakes.

In this replayed episode of The Property Couch podcast, Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley speak with Melinda Jennison, President of the Real Estate Buyers Agents Association of Australia (REBAA), to unpack one of the biggest risks in the property market today.

You’ll learn:

  • What a buyer’s agent is legally allowed (and not allowed) to do
  • How licensing works across Australian states — and where loopholes exist
  • Why some buyer’s agents are operating interstate without proper local licenses
  • The dangers of buyers agents giving financial, tax, or investment structure advice
  • Real examples of consumers being impacted by poor or non-compliant advice
  • The key questions every buyer should ask before engaging a buyer’s agent
  • This episode is shared as a community awareness piece to help Australians make more informed, confident, and legally compliant property decisions.
