We Know the Rules. And We Follow Them.

---

At BARRA Realty, we believe trust starts with accuracy.

Every appraisal we provide is backed by market evidence, local knowledge and current buyer demand. No inflated promises. No bait pricing. No guesswork.

You get clear advice grounded in NSW law and real market conditions.

Under NSW law, agents must provide a reasonable, evidence-based estimate of a property’s likely selling price.

At BARRA Realty, we support our pricing with:

• comparable recent sales 
• property condition and presentation 
• location and land value 
• zoning and planning considerations 
• buyer demand and market activity 
• seasonal and economic conditions 

We provide this estimate in writing, as required under the Property and Stock Agents Act 2002 (NSW). If the market changes during the campaign, we update the estimate, explain why and revise the agency agreement where required. 

NSW underquoting laws exist to protect both sellers and buyers.

Agents cannot:

• advertise using “offers over”, “offers above” or “price plus” language 
• quote prices below their reasonable estimated selling price 
• use price ranges exceeding a 10% spread between the lower and upper figure 

For example:

• $1,200,000 to $1,320,000 = compliant 
• $1,200,000 to $1,400,000 = non-compliant 

NSW Fair Trading continues to actively audit agencies and increase enforcement around misleading pricing practices. 

We market property with care, accuracy and transparency.

That means:

• evidence-based pricing 
• compliant advertising 
• accurate representations 
• realistic buyer guidance 
• marketing aligned with current conditions 

No inflated guides designed to “buy the listing”.

No games.

Just clear strategy and honest communication.

Markets change. Buyer sentiment changes. Interest rates change.

When that happens:

• we reassess the evidence 
• explain the shift clearly 
• update pricing where required 
• revise marketing accordingly 

That keeps your campaign credible and legally compliant from start to finish.

Selling property is one of the biggest financial decisions most people make.

You deserve:

• honest advice 
• accurate pricing 
• strong negotiation 
• legal compliance 
• clear communication 

At BARRA Realty, we take that responsibility seriously.

• Property and Stock Agents Act 2002 (NSW)  
• Property and Stock Agents Regulation 2022 (NSW)  
• NSW Fair Trading Underquoting Guidelines  
• Australian Consumer Law — misleading and deceptive conduct provisions  

At BARRA Realty, compliance is not a box-ticking exercise.

It is part of doing the job properly.

We price honestly, market responsibly and protect your interests from appraisal to settlement.
