It's always hard to be a leader in anything. You can sit back and play the game like everyone else or you can go out and rattle a few cages and see where it takes you.

In providing the greatest real estate private sale system in Australia, PropertyNow has earned the ire of a whole bunch of people..chiefly real estate agents. That is to say - other real estate agents -because Propertynow is actually owner by a Licensed agent.

You see, the fact that the general public absolutely raves about the service we provide at PropertyNow counts for nothing with many real estate agents. Many of them would prefer that the world stood still. Such short sighted and profit driven agents continue to seek to undermine the service we are bringing to the Australian public (by complaining to anybody who will listen) about our private seller mechanism. Fortunately the incredible response from our friends ( you the Australian public ) keeps us forever motivated in continuing to bring our amazing service to you.

Agents of course will be agents and will go to almost any lengths to protect their hallowed turf. We refuse to be bullied however and where necessary have taken legal steps to silence those bullies. We are also not adverse to engaging the media in exposing the bullying tactics and shing the light on a cartel that would seek to maintain a real estate status quo that has been in place for 100 years.

We were particularly gratified by our strong presence in the September 07 edition of The Sunday Telegraph in which we featured very heavily. Likwise our honorable mentions the month prior to that inside Money Magazine and Smart Investor. Although we weren't seeking such splendid free publicity - it is indicative of the widespread interest that the media and the public hold for our unique service.

Rest assured PropertyNow will continue to grow and expand our full range of services especially as so many of you (our clients) have pleaded with us to do so.

We aren't anti-agent of course and there will always be a place for ethical and hard working real estate agents. Such quality people have nothing to fear by the public having greater choice when selling their greatest asset. I continue to count several agents as close friends and realise just how diligently they work for their clients.

PropertyNow will continue to promote choice in the market with the option of full service real estate in our local area and private sale assistance for other clients needing such a resource. May we also take this opportunity to thank all our clients who have kindly submittted testimonials for use on our site.
