What is the real purpose of free house inspection in Hefei?

With the rapid growth of Hefei citizens' economy, many middle and high-end people have the habit of asking professionals to inspect their houses before accepting them, in order to be cautious, save trouble and time. At the same time, there are many free on-site inspections in the market. What makes people wonder is why we don't need money now, and we are not a charity, but we get the national financial allocation.

In this regard, Zhang Gong of Hefei Zhuang Jie Association told the story, and Zhang Gong said that some people in the industry also discussed it.

First of all, it must be affirmed that the above proposition is a good question. Answering this question is actually very simple and can be explained clearly from two aspects. First, what does the service provider get for free; The second is what the owner gets and loses in free. In fact, it is very clear that the superficial form and essential intention of "free house inspection" are thoroughly expounded.

Zhang Gong said that there are only two forms of free house inspection: 1, free activities organized by propaganda media, and 2, free activities organized by decoration companies.

1. What do service providers really want in free services?

(1) The propaganda media obtained the purpose of promoting themselves and expanding the advertising effect from the organized free activities.

Publicity media are generally radio stations and online forums. Their service aim cannot be simply understood as serving the owners. When we look at the essence through the phenomenon, we suddenly find that what these media want is to collect propaganda materials, complete the tasks assigned by the leaders, expand their propaganda influence, and finally promote their own column brands. And just a decoration company wants to use its platform to promote itself, and the two hit it off. And some forums hope that good people will post some offensive posts. When the attacker asks you to delete posts, you must pay the fee, otherwise you won't delete them. Which media exposed the best ice lake real city in Hefei? Some just want to be their slaves, while others temporarily hold their slaves. What's more, the owner's number information was excessively leaked to the decoration company, and harassing calls followed. The owner's ear has become a victim of publicity and promotion, and he can't be angry yet. He must be patient and offend him, which is good. He will reveal the information to more people.

From a home inspector's personal point of view, because he is young, his thoughts will inevitably expand. Show your face on the screen, get acquainted with the citizens first, and take the opportunity to see if you can become famous. But after their free house inspection, the ultimate goal is definitely to contact the decorator, which is exactly the same as the purpose of the house inspection of the decoration company.

These so-called free activities are generally just looking for individual owners to make a show, and some are even simply a holiday to do childcare. It's all about your ultimate goal When some owners sign up for an activity, the most common answer (reply) is that the quota is full, or they wait endlessly, or they come to you when they feel they need you.

(2) The purpose of the free activities of the decoration company.

Many home improvement companies are tempting citizens and soliciting business under the banner of "please let us decorate and inspect the house for free". Their purpose is more direct and frank than the above, and they can even enjoy free house inspection without decoration. As long as I am allowed to inspect the house, I will have the opportunity to lobby that the salesman of the decoration company has nothing to do and nothing to do. Some citizens have fallen into the trap because they are greedy for this "free lunch". These free home inspection is that the salesman knocks on the wall with a hammer, not to mention professional standards, let alone finding key problems. Finally, the topic of introduction is to publicize their preferential decoration business. For example, if you happen to be doing activities recently, you can send a mobile door for free (in fact, you are doing activities every day for 360 days, which is already a routine. Where does the cost of moving doors come from? Many owners are embarrassed to shirk their hospitality. They need to decorate anyway. Unconsciously enter the trap. Even if you don't fall into the trap, you have to endure the telephone harassment mentioned above.

Second, what did the owner get and lose in the free?

Zhang Gong revealed the reason.

(1) The owner gets a small advantage in front of him-saving the cost of 200 yuan. However, once you fall into the trap, you will lose more than you gain. Of course, some owners have learned the lesson, but wasted time and unnecessary energy, but did not get the effect they originally wanted.

(2) What the owner lost was ... many of them suffered losses with Mr. Lu, and they really suffered losses; Because it is a free service, there are no facts bound by the contract-such as payment, receipt, written report, etc. If there is a problem with the house, it is impossible to investigate the responsibility of the house inspector, and it is even more impossible to defend rights; Because of the professional standards of the house inspectors, there is no problem in the basic house inspection (even if there is a problem, I will not say it for fear of affecting the decoration), so some will affect the rights protection period.

(3) Zhang Gong's conclusion: In the process of free house inspection, on the surface, the owner is enjoying this "free lunch", but in essence, the owner is always in the position of being used and entertained, and unconsciously saving 200 yuan. From the material level, it does save 200 yuan's small expenses (some of them are brought into a trap, which is counterproductive); But from the spiritual level, what the owner loses is the most precious personality, dignity and self that is different from other natural human nature. Should car owners think deeply about this? The decisive role of matter is the first, and the dynamic role of consciousness is the second. The two cannot be juxtaposed, but neither can we emphasize one aspect in isolation or unilaterally.

Third, typical cases

Recently, the owner of a real estate called Zhang Gong and told his painful experience of falling into the trap of "free house inspection" and almost overpaying 10000 yuan for decoration.

Promote decoration in the name of "free house inspection"

When the decoration company won the trust of Mr. Lu (a pseudonym) in the name of "free house inspection", it naturally got the decoration business and slowly revealed the fox's tail. It turned out that they rigged the materials and the amount of materials, not only shoddy the decoration materials, but also overstated the amount of materials, and applied to Mr. Lu for an "additional budget" to maximize profits.

Mr. Lu also gradually realized that he secretly invited the famous home inspector to re-examine the house and supervise the decoration company to "play tricks".

I don't know without testing. I'm shocked if I take the test. It is found that there are still 13 big or small problems in the houses rated as "excellent overall quality" by the home improvement company. If the door frame of the household is not vertical, it will be eastward 12mm, resulting in the inner door cover not reaching the edge. The most exaggerated thing is that there is a 6mm crack at the seam of the master bedroom bay window, through which you can see the sky.

What is even more shocking is that the original water pipe budget reported by the home improvement company is 53 meters, and the "supplementary budget" has increased by 42 meters, totaling 95 meters. In fact, according to the measurement, the consumption of effective materials is about 55 meters (including the added pipes), and the home improvement company has reported 40 meters more. According to the 45 yuan/m quoted by the decoration company, Mr. Lu will pay 1.800 yuan to the decoration company alone. In addition, the walnut board purchased by the home improvement company is of poor quality, but its quotation is calculated according to the highest price on the market, and Mr. Lu has to pay more than 8,000 yuan.

"Free house inspection" is a trap.

After the review, Mr. Lu woke up from a dream and angrily asked the home improvement company to give an explanation. After many twists and turns, he successfully safeguarded his rights and interests and avoided the huge loss of overpaying nearly 10000 yuan for decoration.

When Mr. Lu reflected this matter, it was difficult to hide his inner anger: "It turned out that this was a scam from beginning to end! Zhuang Jie company, under the banner of "free house inspection", is simply fishing for big fish, and there is another attempt-to take over the decoration business. After the business comes to hand, it will be black-hearted! " Mr. Lu lamented: "There is no free lunch in the world!"

Calling the home improvement company to inquire about this matter, a person in charge admitted: "We do provide' free house inspection' service and sincerely hope to attract business from the beginning. However, we have never heard of such false reports on prices and materials. Our company has more than 60 employees, which is the personal behavior of the company employees at most. " Isn't this irresponsible?

Zhang Gong, who has been engaged in decoration and house inspection for a long time, has rich experience and reminds the public: "Some home improvement companies or environmental testing companies in the market provide' free house inspection' in order to obtain more profitable business. Due to the lack of professional knowledge of housing inspection, key housing quality problems are often not found, let alone helping citizens to safeguard their rights. Citizens should not fall into the trap of' free house inspection'. "

Fourth, how should unprofessional owners close their houses?

Zhang Gong introduced that unprofessional owners can also learn from the following two types of owners: First, they don't know their major, but they are willing to spend a small amount of money to ask professionals for help, so that they will not suffer losses and save trouble; Second, there are still some owners who pay attention to face and potential. Whether they understand it or not (some are engaged in construction), they must pay for help when they close the house. First, they can really help solve professional problems without any trouble. Second, in case of quality problems in the house, they can be held accountable in time. Third, they pay attention to style and form a condescending situation of hateful attributes from the momentum. Who calls us successful people? What we want is quality. Although these two people have their unlovable places, they are practical and can make positive contributions to the prosperity of social economy. Everything is free, can the national GDP develop? I don't think the Prime Minister will agree with this view.

Finally, Zhang Gong appealed that teachers who provide free house inspection can really be more considerate and responsible for the owners, improve their professional level and build a harmonious society!
