Payments, Fees & Refunds Policy
How Real Agent quotes fees, verifies payments and handles refund requests without confusing payment with approval.
Know the fee before you pay
Applicable fees should be shown or quoted before payment. A fee may relate to listing, inspection, transaction support or another clearly stated service. Keep your payment reference and receipt.
Payment confirmation
We treat a payment as complete only after server-side confirmation from the applicable payment provider or another authorised reconciliation process. A screenshot of a transfer or payment page is not, by itself, final confirmation.
Listing fees
A paid listing can still require corrections or be refused where it does not satisfy Real Agent's publication, safety, authenticity or legal requirements. Where a refund is available will depend on the fee type, work already performed, provider charges and the circumstances of the request.
Refund requests
You can ask us to review a payment for refund. We may need the payment reference, reason and supporting information. Approval does not mean money arrives instantly; bank and payment-provider processing times can apply.
Chargebacks and duplicate recovery
Please contact us promptly if you believe a payment is duplicated or incorrect. Attempting to recover the same payment through multiple channels after a valid refund has been made may delay resolution and can lead to account restrictions.
