1. In general, as long as it is a legal real estate agent, no matter how big or small, the company's posture will not be too big, but there is no guarantee in terms of word of mouth. However, now is the Internet age. Before buying or renting a house, you can search online to find out how the real estate agent's reputation is.

2. Qualified real estate agencies generally have fixed office locations and obtained formal business licenses. After we arrive at the intermediary company, we can check whether the company has a business license or not, and we can also ask the real estate agency to show the relevant qualifications of the real estate agency.

3. When choosing a real estate agency, you can communicate with the staff of the company to find out whether the staff are professional, and observe whether the staff have enough knowledge of the real estate market and are familiar with the real estate transaction process during the communication process, so as to judge the professionalism of the agency.

Summary: The above are all about how real estate agents make money. For the choice of real estate agents, I believe everyone knows better. In short, when choosing a real estate agent, we must be careful not to fall into the trap set by the other party, so as to avoid the situation of empty money.
