In order to increase their business, many intermediaries can avoid the shortcomings of some houses, such as viewing time. For houses with poor sunshine on the ground floor, appointments are usually made in the afternoon or evening to weaken the shortcomings of not getting sunshine during the day.
2. The landlord and the intermediary were established together.
Many people who have seen second-hand houses will know that when you look around the house, you will be smart enough to ask, how much is this house?
Many times, the landlord paused for a while, looked at the intermediary, gave the intermediary a look, and the intermediary reported another price.
There may even be two people coming to see the house together, including you, and the other entrustment will cause you psychological pressure. They will look around in simulation and say, I have taken a fancy to this house, but the money will be delayed for two days. Maybe you will think this house is really nice and you have to buy it quickly, but what you don't know is that these two days are reserved for you.
3. Middlemen earn the difference.
In fact, for the seller, there is a price in mind, such as 80w, but the intermediary will tell the seller that you can quote 85w, and the intermediary can easily earn the extra tens of thousands of dollars; The routine of the intermediary is generally to sign an agency contract with the landlord before selling the house. They will say to the landlord, you should raise tens of thousands first and leave a bargaining space. No wonder, it can promote the transaction rate, and they can also increase the intermediary commission. After all, they charge agency fees by the point.
In addition, there is a mode of earning the difference, that is, regardless of selling the house, only one price is set, and the rest is ignored. At this time, the intermediary may find another person to pretend to be the seller to trade, as the intermediary said at that time!
You may think this is incredible, as long as you check a few years ago, those who first notarized the transfer and didn't see the landlord were basically intermediaries making the difference.
4. Everything attached is groundless.
Many people buy second-hand houses because they don't need decoration and have complete appliances. At this time, in order to facilitate the transaction, many intermediaries will verbally promise to let the original landlord leave home appliances. However, please remember that if you don't make a list of furniture before buying a house, it won't count if you don't sign a contract, because verbal promises have no legal effect, and no one can guarantee not to go back on our word.
5. You have to pay welfare when you book a house.
This situation often happens when the housing or seller's market in popular areas is hot. For example, if you suddenly look at the house and prepare to pay a deposit, the house price will suddenly rise, and you will inevitably be afraid that the landlord will go back on his word. At this time, if the intermediary calls again, several people want to book the house and the landlord wants to sell it to another person. If you are a buyer, according to the thinking of China people, you will say, XX, how much I give you privately, you must help me book this house. Don't sell it to others!
6. Housing appraisal fee
Many people don't read the contract carefully, and even have never heard of the word "evaluation fee" in many cases. Many people pay the money at last, and only when they pay the bill do they find out the existing expenses.
Before buying a house, be sure to ask whether to charge an evaluation fee and what is the standard of the evaluation fee. If so, it is reasonable to reduce the assessment fee to about 3%.
7. Channel management fee
This situation often happens to buyers with various qualifications that are not particularly good. Various audits have been blocked, and bank loans have not come down, which has made many people anxious. At this time, some people often take advantage of the loopholes and earn some "channel management fees", which may be the service content of their company, but they will say that they are their own and need some money to manage.
