What are the usual routines of housing agents? Watch out for the gears!
Fake housing
Some unscrupulous intermediaries, in order to make money, will release some fake houses to attract buyers. Fake housing is the most common routine. No matter how low the price is, how big the area is and how well the decoration is, don't be too happy to see this information. If you believe this, then you are on the road to regularization.
Deliberately create an atmosphere of snapping up
In order to facilitate the transaction quickly, the intermediary often tells the buyer that someone else has taken a fancy to this house. Usually the agent will show you the house first, and then receive several calls one after another. After receiving it, it 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.
Monopoly housing
In order to earn agency fees, the intermediary will monopolize the seller's house and can only sell it in this intermediary. In the field of second-hand housing intermediary, it is very useful for sellers' high quotation and shop tactics. There are also some intermediaries who sign exclusive entrustment with the owners and promise to sell at a high price within a certain period of time (for example, one month) and provide compensation. This kind of commitment is very attractive to the owners, so they are willing to entrust the house exclusively to the intermediary. This form of exclusive agency is easy to form an intermediary monopoly.
Let the buyer not have direct contact with the landlord.
Anyone who has seen the house in the intermediary knows that when you have seen the house, the intermediary will ask you to sign a written certificate stating that you must not contact the seller. When you buy a house, there may be another situation: no matter what the intermediary will not let you contact the landlord, he will say that he has full authority to handle everything for the landlord, and the owner is in the field and asks you to pay a deposit. However, when everything is finalized and your deposit is paid, there will be various intermediary fees that you are required to pay. Therefore, remember to meet the landlord before paying the money, and it is best to finalize all matters face to face to avoid the intermediary putting the routine in.
When buying a house, you should play a formal intermediary company, a reputable intermediary company, and check the housing with the owner when looking at the house, so as to know fairly well. Don't let the intermediary take advantage of the loopholes and suffer losses. Well, that's the routine used by real estate agents that Bian Xiao introduced to you. I hope I can help you!
