Home Advertised "For Sale" Sold One Year Ago

I was looking to buy property in Pinnacle Crescent, Bulleen. Real Estate Agent Ray White Mannigham advertised the property as "Climb to the Pinnacle". As I was frustrated and sick of auctions I decided to climb that pinnacle and make inquires regarding the property. The house for sale was advertised for $750,000.

When I spoke to the agent from Ray White Mannigham (Blackburn Rd) regarding this property, she seemed surprised and asked me where I had seen the home. I explained that I had seen it on realestateview. She further went on the say that the home sold one year ago. Then she immediately went into sales mode and from here on it all made sense. It appeared to me that the property for sale was not really for sale and that it was only there in order for the real estate agent to obtain new connections. At this stage I went along with all the questions because I needed to find a house to live in. She took my details, asked me questions and also asked me to come into the office. I explained that I wasn't able to come into the office at that particular time but was interested in property updates.

I have not heard from the agent since. Also as of today May 10th, 2010 the corner property in Pinnacle Crescent remains advertised on realestateview, which leads me to believe that the only reason this property is still on the net is a desperate grab to get sales.
