Would HS Marais like to sell properties

Thank you so much for completely ruining my buying experience in this area. I am not to sure if being rude is one of the highlights of your interactions with prospective buyers but the way you treated me was almost as if you were saying I do not want your money. If you would like a lesson in customer service as someone who worked in that field for 12 years I would gladly assist you. I was not being rude when I told you that I had done my research on what those units cost to build because I am looking at either building or buying a similar type of home. This was your response to me. Good day Shannon,

The A Frame is build within an Estate, thus exclusive to our area. The prices are not negotiable and sold in the developer’s capacity.

Kind Regards

Dont you think it may have been better to ask me if I wanted to view the property so you could show me what I was getting for that price. Even if my offer was lower then the asking price I am sure you would have to present it to your client unless you had been instructed not to present any offers under a certain price?

6.1.1 who has a mandate to sell or purchase immovable property shall wilfully fail to present … to the seller or purchaser concerned, any offer to purchase or sell such property, received prior to the conclusion of a contract of sale in respect of such property, unless the seller or purchaser (as the case may be) has instructed him expressly not to present such offer;

6.2 An estate agent shall:

6.2.1 explain to every prospective party to any written offer or contract negotiated or procured by him in his capacity as an estate agent, prior to signature thereof by such party, the meaning and consequences of the material provisions of such offer or contract, or, if he is unable to do so, refer such party to a person who can do so;

6.2.2 if he knows that an offer submitted by him as an estate agent to any party has been accepted, or has not been accepted by the expiry date thereof, forthwith notify the offeror of such fact;

6.2.3 without undue delay furnish every contracting party with a copy of an agreement of sale, lease, option or mandate with which he is concerned as an estate agent, provided that the aforegoing shall also apply in respect of an offer to purchase or lease if the offeror specifically requests a copy thereof
