I feel exactly the same way about this as Alana. Basically, for trademe.co.nz, realestate.co.nz and other portal/feeds to remove the listings, we have to mark the property as sold in REX which somewhat stupidly "archives" the property and unless you untick the box, updates the property's new owner to be the current purchaser of the listing. That is categorically incorrect. The purchaser will not become the new owner until settlement date, which could be three months down the track. So, in the meantime, if anyone using REX views that property they are told that John is the owner and Sally is the past owner, when in reality it is the opposite. Easy workaround would be two boxes "update owner details now" or "update owner details on settlement". I can't see why anyone would wish to update the owner details now as that is creating an incorrect record in their database.
