Comprehensive practice, property buyers should choose the second-hand housing transaction intermediary in the following ways:
1, multi-agent publishing, find the right helper.
Usually, many intermediary companies enjoy similar housing information, and the same house will usually be put on the market in many real estate agents. For property buyers, if they take a fancy to a house, they must work harder. They can consult the information of the house in multiple intermediaries, and negotiate with multiple intermediaries to reduce the space and handling fee of the house price. After a week's rotation, they can naturally grasp the real market price of their favorite house and find the most cost-effective intermediary.
2. Investigate the business nature of the intermediary and chat to verify the professionalism of the broker.
Direct intermediary companies are generally strong, pay more attention to their own brand image, and their internal management systems are relatively perfect, so the probability of damaging the interests of customers is relatively small. Joined intermediary companies are under the banner of internationally renowned intermediary brands, but their own management system and strength are obviously weak. Due to the influence of market conditions and macro-control, many franchisees may close down at any time, so choosing such a real estate agent is undoubtedly a risk.
Specialty is the first condition for choosing a real estate agent. In the process of looking at the house, we can talk more about some professional topics, such as the judgment of house price trend, the sale of real estate in the business area, transaction process, loan taxes and fees, the cost performance of recommended houses and how to optimize the customer's purchase plan, etc., from which we can see whether the real estate agent is professional and trustworthy.
3. Inquire whether the Mediation Agreement is filed with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
Due to the regional nature of second-hand housing transactions and many professional terms and practices in the industry, the state does not force intermediary companies to use legal texts. Local real estate intermediary companies and customers can freely negotiate and sign relevant entrustment agreements and contracts, or the intermediary companies can make their own formats. However, if the format contract is unilaterally formulated by the intermediary company, it should be filed with the industrial and commercial bureau in the place where it is used. At the time of filing, the industrial and commercial bureau will review the relevant provisions, and the agreements and contracts that have been filed can basically protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. When signing relevant agreements and contracts, we should pay special attention to important terms (such as payment methods, payment channels, liability for breach of contract, follow-up services, rights and obligations of intermediary companies, etc.). ).
In other words, unless it is a contract negotiated by both parties, if the format contract provided by the real estate agent is used, it is best to find out whether the agreement has been filed before signing the contract, so as to avoid passivity.
Second, what are the precautions for finding a second-hand housing agent?
Note 1: Check its business license, registration certificate of real estate brokerage institution or branch, and qualification certificate of real estate brokerage practitioners, which shall be publicized in the business premises.
Note 2: It is suggested to use the model contract text formulated by the construction (housing management), industry and commerce departments, and require the licensed broker to sign the contract and indicate the qualification certificate number.
Note 3: If a real estate brokerage agency is entrusted to rent or rent a house through a real estate brokerage agency, it shall entrust a real estate brokerage agency that pays the deposit and engages in the house rental agency business through a designated bank to collect and pay the rent on behalf of the bank.
Note 4: When engaging in the business of buying and selling houses and signing a real estate brokerage contract with a real estate brokerage agency, the transaction price and commission standard of houses should be clearly defined. After reaching the intention, the buyer and the seller should insist on meeting and signing the house sales contract.
Note 5: Check the credit files of real estate agents before contacting the brokerage business.
