1. What are the traps of real estate agents?
Due to the imperfect development of the real estate intermediary market, illegal acts occur from time to time, and consumers should pay attention to it. The intermediary trap is mainly manifested in the following situations:
1. The intermediary operates without a license. Most of these institutions don't have fixed places and charge fees. Problems will be transferred so that consumers can't complain. Some institutions have industrial and commercial business licenses, but there is no real estate intermediary service qualification certificate issued by the Housing Authority. Therefore, consumers must first look at whether there is a real estate intermediary service qualification certificate.
2. Providing false materials and information and concealing the real situation.
3. Provide houses that are prohibited from being transferred. Illegal buildings, mortgaged houses and homestead houses cannot be transferred.
4. Ask for remuneration or other property outside the contract.
5. collude with the "homeowner" to deceive consumers. Consumers should check whether the homeowner's ID card and real estate license correspond to each other to prevent vacant houses or houses from being rented or sold.
6, eat tax difference. The deed tax for real estate transactions is from 1. 75% dropped to 1. 5%, but some people don't know that some intermediaries may take the opportunity to earn the difference.
7. Raise the charging standard without authorization. The content and standard of real estate agency fees have special provisions in the country. Consumers can ask for it from the agency or check it online.
Second, how to avoid being taken in by bad intermediary companies
1. Choose a legal and reputable intermediary company.
Be sure to carefully check whether it has "two certificates": the qualification certificate issued by the Municipal Bureau of Land and Housing Management and the business license issued by the municipal industrial and commercial department. According to the regulations of the intermediary management office of Guangzhou Housing Authority, as a formal housing intermediary company, it is necessary to hang its own Real Estate Intermediary Qualification Certificate.
Remember to read the contents of the intermediary service agreement before signing.
At present, many intermediary companies routinely ask customers to sign an intermediary service agreement (commonly known as "house inspection paper") before showing them the houses, including the introduction of the houses, the commission rate charged and so on. Because this is a small procedure before the house inspection, many people will ignore the importance of the "house inspection paper". However, in order to avoid any disputes with the intermediary company after the house inspection, remember to read the contents written on the "house inspection paper" before signing and sign it hastily.
3. Verify the identity of the buyer and the seller
Before the transaction, it is necessary to verify the owner's real estate license, house ownership certificate, state-owned land use certificate or pre-sale contract, as well as ID card and household registration book.
4. Look at the terms of the contract
When signing a sales contract, both the buyer and the seller and the intermediary company must be required to sign the contract at the same time, and all the terms in the contract should be carefully reviewed, especially those related to cost sharing, payment, house payment collection, delivery date of the house, liability for breach of contract and so on. In addition, it is best to write the intermediary commission into the sales contract. Relevant contracts and original bills must be properly kept. If there is a consumer dispute, you can also complain to the relevant departments in time.
5. Write all "verbal" promises into the contract.
When the buyer entrusts an intermediary company to handle the bank mortgage formalities or "test the price" to the owner, it should clearly indicate the starting and ending time of the mortgage formalities or "test the price" in the power of attorney, mainly to set a time limit for the intermediary company. If the formalities are not completed within the time limit, all the deposit shall be returned. This can not only protect the interests of customers, but also effectively prevent some intermediaries from deliberately delaying property rights transactions indefinitely and taking the opportunity to swallow the deposit. In addition, if the owner promises to send home appliances when buying or renting a house, the buyer and tenant should also write the furniture and home appliances into the contract one by one, so as to prevent the owner from making "small moves" to replace or move the home appliances in a way of replacing the small ones with the inferior ones.
6. Avoid signing unilateral entrustment.
Most citizens are not necessarily familiar with the transaction process of second-hand real estate. When they take a fancy to a suite, they will entrust an intermediary company with full authority to assist in handling transactions, transfer and other matters. Due to the trust and dependence of some citizens on intermediary companies, this gives some intermediaries an opportunity, and some often sign notarized power of attorney with customers and do many illegal things, such as deceiving owners, making deals with customers at higher prices, pretending to be customers and negotiating with owners.
