Take care of the different needs of family members.
Mr. Liu (35 years old, general manager of a freight forwarding company), after I comprehensively investigated various factors according to many golden rules of choosing a house, thought that I had decided on this house, out of courtesy and out of showing off, I chose a new home for them in the future. But what I didn't expect was that the house I thought was basically perfect was seen by everyone.
expert opinion/advice
Because the house is bought for oneself, it is the most comprehensive and careful for a family to look at the house. Every family member will carefully select the floor, apartment type, orientation, living room and bedroom area of the house itself. Different ages, experiences, status, etc. will make a family disagree on one or several issues. At this point, the most obvious skill is to "grasp the big and let go of the small."
The choice of viewing objects should first consider the needs of family members, the location and price of real estate should conform to the decision made at the "internal meeting" in advance, and the surrounding traffic conditions should ensure that everyone can "come and go freely".
In addition, an important principle is to satisfy the "biggest beneficiaries". For example, for the elderly, the lower floors are naturally the first choice, but for children, it is not so important, depending on who you miss most.
Take the designer to inspect the hardware of life.
The family and friends of Ms. Zhou (28-year-old IT consultant) gave me the biggest advice on the quality of life "software". Then, I think the "hardware" of life should not be taken lightly. So I thought of a designer friend of mine and took him to have a look.

They will make a professional evaluation on the advantages and disadvantages of residential structure and the proper use of materials, point out the shortcomings, on the one hand, remind you to pay attention to it as a reason for choosing a house; On the other hand, these shortcomings may also become the conditions for developers to bargain.
Put forward suggestions for decoration. One thing that comes with buying a house is decoration. Then if you take a designer on a field trip as soon as possible, you can make suggestions and make rectification in some places as soon as possible.
Take a lawyer to check the contract
Miss Mi (28 years old, hotel management), who didn't consider a lawyer at first, felt that her brain was good enough and she was unlikely to be fooled. But I happened to read some related reports in those days, and people who didn't pay attention to buying a house complained there, so I was also cautious.
expert opinion/advice
Now there are many professional consultants who specialize in real estate, such as lawyers and property consultants. With their company, bargaining with developers will definitely be more practical and emboldened, but we should also pay attention to the following points:
Studying the terms of the contract in advance is generally a commercial act, and their relationship with the buyer is stipulated or restricted by the contract. Therefore, we should carefully study the terms of your contract in advance.
Understand the basic requirements of members. After determining the professional who will accompany you to see the house, be sure to let him fully understand the purchase goals and requirements of you and your family, and fully communicate.
Considering the different purposes of buying a house, there are different choices for the time when professionals intervene. The owner can be his own staff in the early stage, and then invite him out of the mountain until he enters the stage of buying a house contract. This will not only achieve the goal but also save money.
Bring friends to learn the experience of buying a house.
Zhou Xiaoping (34 years old, sales manager) To tell the truth, my friends and I visited the house several times before taking my family to see it. I made that decision mostly because he bought a house there and it felt good.
Because we know some details, we have to echo each other carefully with the sales girl. So, I not only got the preferential price, but also found many places in the house that I didn't notice.
expert opinion/advice
Going to see the house with friends is a way that many property buyers often choose in several house visits. Taking friends to see the house is more conducive to understanding the market and weighing the pros and cons.
Generally speaking, there are two advantages:
First, as an outsider, sometimes I can give some "general" but often "constructive" or even "decisive" advice than my family.
Second, if your friend really has the experience of buying a house, then he may be your most trusted "senior consultant". Because there is a saying that people who buy a house are half real estate "experts".
However, there is a phenomenon in the market that cannot but attract our attention. After a person buys a project, his friends and even colleagues will "flock", which is understandable. There is nothing wrong with many friends living together, but it is not advisable to buy a house just because they have heard the introduction from their friends. The key is to consider your own housing needs and proceed from reality.
