Is the intermediary reliable?
Nowadays, intermediaries are experts in collecting information. No matter where you publish the listing information, under normal circumstances, your mobile phone will be blown up in less than two minutes. Large intermediaries have specialized software to grab new houses on various websites, while small and medium-sized intermediaries generally rely more on crowd tactics. A black cat and a white cat catching mice is a good cat, and everything is mainly about obtaining information. Is the intermediary reliable? It still depends on which intermediary you choose.
What traps should I avoid when choosing an intermediary to buy a house?
1, fake housing
False housing is the most common trap. No matter how low the price is, how big the area is, and how well the property is decorated, don't be too happy to see this information. If you believe it, then you are on the way to being beaten. Why? Because you believe it, you will call for advice, and the intermediary will often tell you that there is no such house, but there is a similar house with similar price conditions. So you believe it, but when you go there, you will find that it is not the same thing at all.
2. Create a panic buying atmosphere
When buying a house, the general agent will show you the house first, and then receive several calls one after another. After receiving it, he will tell you that there are still several groups of customers coming to see the house, so you can make a decision quickly, otherwise the good houses will be taken away by others. In fact, this is just the buying atmosphere created by the intermediary. So, if you encounter such a situation, please don't worry, and you must look at such a problem from a long-term perspective. Because buying a house is no trivial matter, don't make a hasty decision.
3. Encourage sellers to bid high
Usually, we think there is something fishy about houses with low prices. So, are those houses whose listing price is obviously higher than the market price reliable? In fact, there are generally intermediaries behind these high-priced houses. Many sellers have always expressed their wishes to real estate agents, and the agents will begin to persuade users to bid higher. After raising the counter-offer, both parties can feel the value of intermediary and earn more intermediary fees.
The above is whether the intermediary is reliable and what traps to avoid when choosing an intermediary to buy a house. Buying a house is not a trivial matter, so many people like to think more about it when buying a house, and it is actually very necessary to think more about these issues when choosing an intermediary company, because after all, there are many small intermediary companies that are really unreliable, but at the same time it also reminds people that they should be careful when choosing an intermediary.
