When we browse for properties, doesn't matter how many and what filters we put in... always the wrong info and projects nearby with misleading names.

What is advertising platform solutions?

One of my favorite topics. It seems to be that the property platforms are not interested in allowing fake listings to be flagged. While property agencies are not discouraging their negotiators from using unethical methods to get contacts.

Developers have their own issues but these fake advertisements are caused by the actions of agents and the lack of action from the platforms.

No wonder property agents are frowned upon.

Mainly due to authority poor action.
In Singapore, any fake listing, ads by agent, will take serious action by relevant authority.

The problem is, it's not one or two, you can scroll through 2 or 3 pages of false advertisement before you get to the real project name.

If you know the area pricing, its easier. i.e. if Tropicana Garden selling Rm5xxK, you know it's BS. But what about less popular projects?

It's a pain in the a$$

Great ideas. Give them your contact for their side income.
Soon can receive spamming messages from Loan shark, Eclbet online gambling , etc.

i get what you mean. it is really frustrated.
keep on wasting your time. but it is unavoidable.
perhaps i believes you sure have some friend surround you able to intro property negotiator to you.
that will be much more easier.

bro, do you think that even u change to new number there will be no spam or what-so-ever?
they will keep on coming.
the solution is just block the number from getting to you. eventually there will be no more.
my have block multiple numbers that sending those spam SMS and now i receive no more.
seriously, don't sweat the small stuff.

LOL!!
then why are you buying insurance or property through agent??
you should build a house by your own or make your own insurance company.
maybe you do found 1 or 2 agents to be like that, but to generalize them to be like that, i don't think is fair for others who falls into good category.

Just because you are property agent and people are complaining what you do on daily basis does not meant you need to be defensive. People like u make all real estate agents bad names.

dont get me wrong. you can say whatever you like but please, respect others as well.
FYI, customer may not always right, thats why we are here to share our thoughts and opinions.
is not all who work as agent, be it in insurance or property, behave such way.
im not defensive or what so ever, but im just speaking the truth and yes, truth hurts.

no enforcement = no solution. unfortunately almost every industry in malaysia is sickened with something like this. and although we can keep saying be vigilant, check details, there are far more less savvy people who will fall into traps, if not they wouldn't waste their time laying the traps...
