There is a lot of chaos in illegal intermediary.
At present, due to the low industry threshold and difficult supervision, all kinds of real estate intermediary companies, large and small, are all over the streets, and it is often difficult for consumers to distinguish their quality and reliability at a glance. At the same time, many illegal intermediaries are also mixed among them, causing certain industry chaos.
Real estate agents and brokers publish false housing information, assist the parties to sign "yin and yang contracts", sign contracts in the name of fraudulent real estate agents, operate without a license, and so on.
The main reasons leading to disputes over renting and buying houses are often irregular agreements and subscription books unilaterally drawn up by housing intermediary companies, incomplete terms, vague meanings and false propaganda. In addition, after the signing of the agreement, there are many complaints that real estate agents fail to perform the contract, charge high fees but do not provide supporting services, have bad attitudes and even exaggerate publicity.
So, what are the ways to choose a more reliable second-hand housing agency?
Multi-party understanding and comparison
When consumers actually choose a housing intermediary company, they can first conduct a good credit survey on the intermediary company through the Internet, relevant regulatory authorities and relatives, colleagues and friends, including whether the intermediary company has legal business qualifications, whether it has engaged in business fraud, and the social evaluation it has received.
Generally speaking, it is easier to obtain more professional and reliable intermediary services by choosing an intermediary chain with good reputation and big brand. Usually, large-scale brand intermediaries have a certain scale, wide channels and rich customer information and housing information. Because intermediary services are often regional, consumers can generally visit the houses they want to rent and buy and sell through field trips. By comparing the number, appearance and office environment of intermediary companies, they can roughly judge the strength and formality of these intermediary companies.
At the same time, direct contact with the staff of intermediary companies can further understand the professionalism of intermediary companies. Whether the service personnel are properly dressed, their knowledge of the market in conversation and their familiarity with the transaction process when guiding sales can all be seen from the side. When entrusting negotiations, consumers can also pay attention to the position and operating principles of intermediary companies. For some intermediary companies with insufficient professionalism, unstable positions or obvious unconventional requirements, we need to pay more attention and be vigilant.
On the other hand, consumers can also inquire about the experiences of relatives and friends who have bought and sold second-hand houses and listen to the personal experiences of people around them; You can also search the media and the Internet to see if there are any negative reports about the intermediary you choose to solve the incident, so as to judge whether the intermediary company is trustworthy. It is worth noting that at present, the circulation of housing information on the internet is relatively large, and consumers may encounter many intermediaries who take the initiative to "harass". Consumers can also compare them in many ways and finally determine the most suitable one.
Look at the intermediary qualification carefully.
If consumers are not at ease enough, or are not familiar with the selected intermediary, they can check their business license, real estate broker (or branch) registration certificate, real estate broker qualification certificate and so on. According to the relevant regulations, the above certificate shall be publicized in the business premises.
Choosing a real estate agent depends on whether there is a legal business license and whether there is a real estate agent or a real estate agent in the business scope of the business license. Secondly, it depends on whether the real estate agency has legal real estate brokerage practitioners, that is, whether the real estate brokerage practitioners are filed with the industrial and commercial authorities. Thirdly, look at whether the real estate intermediary company expresses the relevant information of the brokerage practitioners in its business premises.
Finally, even if you choose an intermediary to carry out relevant leasing and trading operations, you should also pay attention to the corresponding qualifications and process issues. Such as whether to use the model text of the contract formulated by the construction (housing management), industry and commerce departments, and whether the signed contract has the signature of the employees and the number of their qualification certificates; When signing an agreement or contract, you should also read through the terms to see if there is any ambiguity in the division of responsibilities and compensation.
Brokers can also choose.
In addition to choosing a suitable intermediary, demanding consumers (especially complicated second-hand housing transactions) may also choose one for different real estate agents.
1. Housing leasing and second-hand housing transactions are relatively complex and professional commodity transactions, including many complicated processes and procedures, which are highly professional. Therefore, without long-term tempering, it is definitely not perfect. It will be more reliable to choose a real estate agent who has been operating for more than one or two years.
2. Profession is the first condition for choosing a real estate agent. Professions include judging the trend of housing prices, selling real estate in the operating area, trading process, loan tax and contract interpretation, recommending the cost-effective ratio of housing, and optimizing the purchase plan of customers.
3. Historical transaction records Understanding the historical transaction records of brokers helps to understand the comprehensive strength of brokers and also makes consumers feel more at ease.
The integrity of an honest broker directly determines your choice of him. Only an honest broker can let you give him the initiative in housing transactions.
5. Negotiation ability and skills The negotiation ability and skills of brokers can often help you rent or buy a "good quality and low price" house with high cost performance, and also allow you to sell the most suitable price. Through communication and understanding with brokers, we can roughly judge the corresponding level of negotiation.
6. The position of the company's real estate agent is evaluated according to the performance. Generally speaking, the position is directly proportional to its professionalism, historical transaction record, negotiation ability and skills.
