Queensland guidance says that if an agent recommends a reserve, the seller must be given a comparative market analysis comparing at least 3 properties of similar standard or condition, sold within 5 km and in the last 6 months. If 3 such sales cannot be found, the agent gives written market advice justifying the opinion.
