Do NOT work for/Rent from/ Buy property from CITY AND SUBURBS REALY. (from an ex agent) You go for an interview get given a certain job description and when you start working they slowly but surely change it, and ignore you when you complain about it and put it in terms of “helping the team”. You work for commissions but there is always a catch to why you are not paid what you are meant to be. The property was an old property, it is owned by the “company” (the Blignauts) , so you don’t get agreed upon comms. They buy and sell property themselves (most of the rentals are owned by the "company” the directors/Richards family the Blignauts ) When you sell a property that is owned by the directors family (the Blignauts) they will do anything not to pay you what you are contracted to be paid. (usually50%) They will tell you to send agreements to the director/Richard and then give you some BS story about him negotiating on your behalf (with his family????) (and they will take a chunk out of your comms for that) this is something you can do on your own but no you are instructed to do it this way. You send the signed agreement to the lawyers ***ned by the Blignauts) with all the required paperwork but still say that the agent is liable for admin fees, and take another big chunk of you comms. So to summarize the Blignauts get paid for the property, they get paid half the comms to the real estate agency ***ned by the Blignauts) they get the admin fees that are paid to the lawyers by the seller and the buyer (which is owned by the Blignauts) and the 50% of the comms that is the agents gets sliced and diced for the negotiation, (paid to the Blignauts) the correspondence/admin fees between the seller and the buyer (paid to City and Suburbs owned by the Blignauts) if you leave their employ before you are paid your comms you have to fight tooth and nail to get you watered down amount they want to pay you. The whole system is *******. No matter what you do no matter who you complain to they get away with it. don’t get me started on the rental side of things. I am not the first to be *****ed by this company and surely not the last. DO NOT work for/Rent from/Buy from this company.
