Complaints Policy for Yello Estates Portal
At Yello Estates, we are committed to providing a positive and helpful experience for all users of our real estate portal (www.yelloEstates.com, the "Portal"). We understand that occasionally, you may have concerns or complaints about our services, the content on our Portal, or the conduct of other users or real estate professionals listed on our platform. This Complaints Policy outlines the process for submitting and resolving complaints.
Types of Complaints We Handle
We aim to address complaints related to the following aspects of the Yello Estates Portal:
-
Technical Issues: Problems with the functionality, performance, or accessibility of the Portal.
-
Inaccurate or Misleading Information: Concerns about property listings or other content on the Portal that appears to be inaccurate or misleading.
-
Conduct of Real Estate Professionals: Issues regarding the professionalism, responsiveness, or ethical behaviour of real estate agents, brokers, or developers listed on our Portal (within the scope of their interaction through our platform).

Please note: While we strive to facilitate connections between users and real estate professionals, Yello Estates is generally not a party to the direct transactions or relationships formed between them. Complaints regarding the actual sale, purchase, or rental process, contractual disputes, or services provided directly by a real estate professional outside the scope of our Portal's features may need to be addressed directly with the involved parties. However, we will review complaints related to the conduct of professionals within their use of our Portal.
