However, many friends also said that they or their relatives and friends encountered various traps when looking for real estate agents to handle transactions. So is it reliable to find a real estate agent to handle real estate transactions? How to distinguish a formal real estate agent? Let's have a look.

Is the real estate agent reliable?

Many friends tend to find real estate agencies to handle transactions in the real estate market, but they are worried about the insecurity of real estate agency transactions or the difference between yin and yang contracts. In fact, generally speaking, formal real estate agencies will not have such problems. Because the job of a regular real estate agent is to help customers complete real estate transactions, and then charge a certain fee according to the work. The amount of handling fee usually depends on the difficulty and workload of the work, so the handling fee may be different for everyone. It should be reminded here that the above situation is usually based on the choice of formal real estate agents, but now many intermediary companies, large and small, cheat in the name of intermediaries, so this is also the reason why intermediary companies have a bad reputation.

How to distinguish a formal real estate agent?

If you don't want to have problems in real estate transactions, you should first choose a real estate agent with regular stores and better decoration. Because this can reflect the formality of housing agency from the side.

Secondly, for the seller, after deciding to sell the house, the formal real estate agent will sign exclusive or multiple agency agreements with you. Most of the contents of the agreement involve the mutual responsibilities of both parties, and there is no unreasonable overlord clause that restricts one party. For the buyer, the real estate agency will sign a house sales contract with him, which has certain legal effect from the date of signing the agreement or contract. Generally speaking, real estate agents charge the seller 2% of the total house price and the buyer 1% commission during the house transaction.

Finally, mortgage loans to buy a house also involve bank loans. After the house is transferred, the formal real estate agent will check whether the original owner is in arrears in paying property fees, heating fees and utilities, and then pay the seller the last sum of money to maximize the interests of the buyers.

Choosing a formal real estate agent also needs to know the following skills:

1, qualification examination

Formal intermediary companies should have long-term fixed office space and legal business qualifications. Therefore, you can go to the store to check whether its business license has the qualification of real estate agency, and initially identify the legitimacy of the intermediary company.

2. Review of strength

Choosing a powerful intermediary company can also provide more protection for yourself. The strength of the company can be determined by the registered capital in the business license and the number of stores owned by the company.

3. Word of mouth comments

Word of mouth is a very important intangible asset for any company. A good intermediary company should also have a good reputation.

4. Picture comments

Both the store image and the employee image can show an attitude of the company from the side.

5, the degree of detail of the division of work review

Formal large intermediary companies have a fine division of labor. In the early stage of second-hand housing transaction, there are specialized real estate agents engaged in receiving customers' intentions, recommending real estate, showing customers around the house, collecting deposits, initialling agreements, inspecting houses, and handing over houses. The formal contract, online signing, transfer, loan, real estate license and other procedures for real estate sales in the later period are all handed over to special departments to complete. This not only ensures the security of the transaction, but also makes the whole transaction more transparent and reassuring.
