Dear real estate agents.

Stop with the ads with no prices!
Please do “offers over” or a price range.
If it says contact agent, i skip

We have had disrupters come with hotels (air bnb) and taxis (uber) - for crying out loud we need a disrupter to come for the real estate industry!
You guys are not celebrities. We don’t want to see your faces and names in lights. Just tell us the price that will get the sale done.

Shits me

The laws are very different from state to state. In Victoria they have “contact agent”, but they are always required to provide a “statement of information” that discloses the asking price if a private sale or indicative price range if an auction. You will usually see a link to it once you scroll down to the bottom of the listing on sites like Domain. At least in Queensland you don’t have to deal with underquoting like you do in Victoria, so if it’s an auction, a good rule of thumb would be to add 10% to the upper range.

YouTube algorithms and their dumb ads.
Yeh I know I'm over 40 now so I'm "old" but STOP recommending those cringe nostalgia videos about "90s kids will only understand".
And also, no I do not want to learn how to do a chair workout or sign up to Temu.

This could be in the "Things that make you old" thread too I guess.

The young people doing reaction videos to older pop culture phenomenons is interesting.

Youtube have found a way to annoyingly make adblockers annoying

I have one and they now start the video with an ad that doesnt switch - my solution is to go back to the home page and re-click - which is annoying if they put 5 in a row - click back press click back ugghh

I have no issue with uBlock Origin and blocking ads on YouTube.

Correct
10% over the upper range is a good guide to actual price
Take it in Qld they don't have this requirement?

Yep no guide makes it difficult
And any call to an agent will give you a vague answer after they require all your details

 

[PoppedCorn]

it says estimated price is 1,8 million

thats a rough guide?

 

[Billy ray]

Is that the site with low high and mid estimates and a confidence guide?
They can be wildly inaccurate

 

[PoppedCorn]

[PoppedCorn]

Good intro to the new employer lol.

Reading between the lines, it sounds like a) there will inevitably be significant issues with payroll activities (i.e. things that need urgent attention); and b) there will be so many open cases at a given time, that charging you for the equivalent of an express lane is considered a reasonably attractive feature.

Questions for me on this option is: what happens if every single person at the company signs up for priority servicing? And what happens to the poor buggers who refuse to pay approximately $1800-$4000 a year for their payroll team to do their job? How long until their issues are resolved?

Sounds like they just outsource the payroll to some other campaigners to me. Someone in Manilla probably does it on a 7 day SLA.

As if you would ever pay for it though.

No problem with Ad(vertisement)Blocker Ultimate and youtube.

Oh, phone... all bets are off.

I haven't seen an ad on youtube for years, I only use youtube on my laptops at home though I don't use it on my phone.

They are awful, I don't know how some teenagers today have never heard of well known songs like Bohemian Rhapsody before.

When I was a teenager in the 80s/early 90s I knew about Bohemian Rhapsody and most other big songs from the 60s and 70s.

You would have had to have been living in a cave not to have heard of the well known songs that they react to for the first time.

They just don't listen to that kind of music and/or the radio. We all have our preferences and with other avenues than the radio for consuming music on the go, it is not that unrealistic for younger people to not have heard the classics if their parents don't listen to them. Hell, I couldn't name you very many popular songs of the last decade since the only time I listen to the radio is if I am in someone elses car.

I heard this black American guy who would have been early to mid-20s speak about how on his channel he copped criticism for apparently never hearing any of Eminem's popular songs despite being a rap fan. He explained that nobody in his family and friend group, nor anybody in his wider community, listened to Eminem. He was seen as white people rap and not something to be listened to so he never did.

You would have also been familiar with hot stars Johnny Ray and Bobby Darrin?

Garry Hocking was my real estate agent at my old place.
He was quiet nice and gave me info .
See him a few since always days hello.
Then after a couple weeks they took him off list.
I looked up the Web sites to see how clicks I had
Wot I got open house on the WE but noone bother to tell me...wtf.

In the end it sold .

I always worked backwards when I was learning about music, you'd find someone new and then you'd try to find out what influenced them. Watching Dad's Army after Ian Lavender died was interesting because listening to the war time songs played in the background you could easily imagine Paul McCartney hearing those songs and developing his ear for a tune based around them.

I only knew about poor old Johnny Ray from this Dexys Midnight Runners song from back in 1982.
