What's the difference between a real estate agent and a real estate consulting company?

Conceptually speaking, real estate consultation is a part of real estate agency. There are three aspects of real estate agency: real estate consultation, real estate appraisal and real estate broker. In fact, the main business scope is different. Intermediaries mostly provide sales, leasing and mortgage services for second-hand buildings, while consulting companies include legal reference and value reference for real estate. However, there are also organizations that combine the front and rear functions into one, such as 985home. They will soon help us understand the overall housing price situation in Shanghai, and also provide a number of consulting services, such as asset appraisal, school district housing consultation, real estate investment consultation and so on. What is particularly worth mentioning is that they will continue to follow up the house purchase plan proposed to us and do their best to ensure that the effect meets our expectations. If there are any mistakes, they will immediately follow up and give solutions. This is a very good service system!
