... don't quote any price in writing.
Well that seems to be the tack that some agents like Jellis Craig and Marshall White have just started taking this past week for inner Melbourne properties.
At least in the old days buyers could take a (admittedly underquoted) quoted price and add 20-30% to get an approximate selling price.
All the whining about underquoting which has now backfired for buyers as there is now NO price provided in writing for most of the properties advertised by these agents. I hope we don't get back to the bad old days of the 90's when no prices were advertised and we had to ring agents about every porperty to get a verbal price estimate.
I hope this trend doesn't spread to other agents.
