In case you need any more reason to distrust real estate agents, a Sydney realtor not only landed himself in deep shit with angry Facebook commenters, but also been suspended from his job after he basically admitted to having disdain for renters. Honestly, this is why no one likes y’all!
The drama began when Abhnit Kumar, a 23-year-old real estate agent from Ray White Macarthur Group in Campbelltown, posted about a home he helped sell for $958,000 on his Facebook page.
“The market doesn’t dictate your home’s price, the agent does,” Kumar wrote alongside his sale, encouraging homeowners to reach out if they wanted to sell.
Given we are currently suffering a housing crisis that is seeing homes sell for exorbitant prices because of high demand and landlord greed, appearing to admit to purposefully inflating house prices above market price is… not good.
One Facebook commenter asked why Kumar was “artificially inflating house prices during a period of high inflation”.
Kumar, not having yet picked up on the scent of danger crackling through the air, brazenly admitted prioritising money over people and told the commenter he could “maximise on the profits you can make” when selling their “biggest asset”. Big mistake, buddy.
HMMMM. (Source: Facebook).
