by Ben Leahy, NZ Herald

But the real estate industry is defending the actions of agents, saying they can only give price guidelines and ultimately have no way of knowing how much a home might sell for at auction. Monique Hodgson said she and her partner had endured “an awful experience full of disappointment” after going to more than 50 open homes and putting in seven unsuccessful purchase offers since October. She called for tougher laws after she claimed Even then, sellers were free to change the one agent urged her to go to a Mt Albert home’s reserve at any time during an auction, if, for auction, saying other buyers were looking to pay instance, the bids were lower than expected. about $1.5 million for the house.

FIELDAYS BOUNCES BACK: Fieldays 2021 winds up at Mystery Creek today and the Fieldays “city” was buzzing right from the moment the gates opened on Wednesday. Tens of thousands visited the site each day to enjoy the iconic event that could not go ahead as planned last year due to the Covid lockdowns. “It has been great to see so many people streaming through the site,” a Fieldays spokeswoman said. There have been about one thousand exhibitors spread across 47 hectares of the site this year. On top of that, attendees enjoyed tractor pulls, the fencing and excavator competitions and free-health checks galore. From all reports it was another brilliant Fieldays. Picture supplied
