Different from other small and medium-sized real estate agents, brand agents tend to pay more attention to word of mouth and word of mouth, and are unwilling to hear any negative news. So generally speaking, brand intermediaries will not do such a thing as eating the difference. After all, once they do this, they are likely to smash their own brands.
2. When negotiating the price, try to satisfy the three parties.
Before signing the contract, the intermediary is unwilling to talk directly between the buyer and the seller. Anyone who has seen the house knows that the intermediary is eyeing up, and they are afraid that the two sides will talk too much. This move is mainly to avoid jumping orders, that is, buyers and sellers kick off the intermediary to make a deal on their own, and the intermediary will be busy in vain.
But what is terrible is that some intermediaries will take advantage of the information asymmetry between the two parties, conceal the actual selling price of customers and trade with third parties, get remuneration other than commission, or maliciously speculate on the owner's housing price to earn "commission for price difference". Therefore, in order to ensure the transparency of the transaction and avoid being cheated, we should sincerely ask the three parties to sit down and talk generously.
3. Read the principal-agent contract clearly
Some houses are entrusted by sellers to intermediaries. If the buyer and the seller really can't meet, ask the intermediary to issue a seller's entrustment contract. Generally, the entrustment contract will specify the price and the scope of the intermediary's rights. In addition, the intermediary company is also required to produce a series of certificates and clearly indicate the detailed personal information of both parties in the contract. If some clauses in the contract are found to be inconsistent, the buyer should consult all questions before signing.
4, check the relevant documents, identify the real house.
For the seller, if the intermediary proposes to buy a house in cash, it must go through the corresponding transfer procedures to prevent the intermediary from selling the house to earn the difference before going through the formalities. As for buyers, we should be wary of fake houses, some of which are just owners, but not real owners. If the deposit is paid before checking the relevant documents and distinguishing the true and false landlord, the intermediary company falsely claims that the house has been sold, and the deposit will be difficult to return.
