Almost 50 real estate agents have been fined by Victoria’s underquoting taskforce, but buyers advocates say the penalty is “pathetic” and won’t discourage the practice.

The 48 agents were fined a combined total of just over $520,000 for underquoting property by as much as one million dollars.

David Morrell, Director at Morrell & Koren Buyers Advocate Group, said the fines would simply be viewed as the “cost of doing business”.

“It is pathetic,” he told Tom Elliott.
