According to the survey data of relevant institutions, there are nearly 90,000 real estate agencies in China. Among more than 3,000 interviewees, 70% have encountered transaction disputes, 35.7% have encountered "fake houses", 42.5% of tenants' deposits have been illegally seized, and 16.23% of tenants have been threatened.
There are also many incidents in reality: because there is no formal intermediary transaction, millions of subscription funds are swallowed up, and the money room is empty, and there is no way to ask for help; Because there is no formal intermediary transaction, I believe that the broker's verbal commitment, hundreds of thousands of house purchases will not be refunded; Because there was no formal intermediary transaction, I didn't know that the wedding room was a haunted house until I signed the contract and paid the money.
If you choose the wrong intermediary for a little luck and to save a little money, you may not only lose your hard-earned money, but also end up homeless or in a lawsuit in the foreseeable future, which is not worth it.
So how to choose a reliable real estate agent? It can be judged from three aspects: enterprise, service and broker.
In terms of enterprises, brand intermediary enterprises are more reliable than small-scale intermediaries with low fees. Brand intermediaries are generally more powerful and have a large number of stores, such as new brokerage brands buying houses. Don't worry about the situation that the intermediary is irresponsible to play hooligans and people go to the building.
Secondly, the bigger the company, the stronger the financial strength and the more standardized the operation. Moreover, its resource management network system is more perfect. Large-scale brand intermediaries have a certain scale, a wide range of channels, and rich customer information and housing information, which can meet the diversified, personalized and characteristic consumer needs and provide customers with fast and high-quality services. Housing information management is stricter, not only can you find a satisfactory house, but you don't have to worry about information being abused.
In terms of service, it depends on whether the service provided is equal to the agency fee charged. For example, the authenticity of housing information, which has always been valued by consumers, is an indicator that affects the integrity of intermediaries and an element that reflects the quality of intermediary services. Therefore, we should choose an intermediary that can guarantee the authenticity of the house.
Taking buying a house as an example, the owner needs to provide "three certificates" to ensure the authenticity of each suite. In addition, in the "Seven Quality Service Promises" launched by Easyhome, it is mentioned that "the real property will be compensated for 100 yuan", and the property is strictly controlled, and it is done: dare to promise and dare to pay.
Moreover, due to the complex and long process of housing transaction, accidents or risks may occur at any time during the transaction. The "seven quality service promises" launched by economists can provide all-round and whole-process protection for housing transactions and reassure consumers.
