* As part of a Ray White advertising package

Payment for advertising is to be made as laid down by the Property Agents and Motor Dealers Act 2000

You should be very suspicious of any agent offering to pay for your advertising, why:

• It is considered to be against the Act (beneficial interest)
• You give up your control.
• Would you have confidence in an agent attaining, for you the best possible price, if that same agent offers an inducement to get your listing in the first place.
• At the final stages of the negotiations do you think the recovery of advertising monies may have an influence on your agents ability to get the price you really deserve?
