24 Apr 2026 White Ray Oakleigh Pty Ltd (Ray White Oakleigh)Federal Court: 600,000 AUD against former operator of Ray White Oakleigh for underquoting €366,010
Following action by Consumer Affairs Victoria (the consumer protection regulator of the state of Victoria), the Federal Court of Australia ordered White Ray Oakleigh Pty Ltd, former operator of the Ray White Oakleigh agency, to pay 600,000 AUD because between February 2022 and November 2023 it advertised nine properties well below market value and at prices it did not itself expect to achieve (underquoting). According to the regulator, the agency agreements often provided for considerably higher commission on proceeds above the reserve price, and vendors were persuaded to lower their reserves after signing; text messages between the agents showed that they expected considerably higher prices. The court found misleading or deceptive conduct and false or misleading representations.
Prices in property advertising must reflect the agent's genuine estimate; commission models that reward bait pricing are a compliance risk in their own right.
