Buying real estate carries a lot of oncoming problems on which the satisfaction of your needs depends. When buying real estate, you will definitely face a wide selection of offers, but only a few will satisfy your needs. Choosing an object for its requirements, it takes a lot of time. This situation is quite problematic for people who have no free time. Realter companies, firms and real estate agencies will help to solve this problem.
Real estate agencies are engaged in the search for objects to meet your requirements. Thus, having shifted all the routine work on their shoulders, you can safely do your own business or business. Moreover, by choosing a suitable object, you can trust the real estate agency for negotiations and execution of all the necessary documentation for purchase.
An interesting historical fact is confirmation of registration in the 18th century of the first office of commissioning in St. Petersburg. Similar enterprises took commissions for their services in the amount of 3% of the amount of the transaction. Despite the not high interest rate, this was considered a reliable and quite profitable business. In Russia, the era of real estate agencies arose in the early nineties.
Troubles in the real estate business are justified by profit. Real estate agencies are ready to work and work with both parties: sellers and buyers of real estate, offering them various services.
The number of real estate agencies is determined by their level. Among the services providing real estate agencies are:
Assessment of the value of the object;
Search for a buyer /seller of an object;
Preparation of contracts and other documentation;
Organization of the apartment move.
This list of services is quite typical. Each organization can offer additional services to its customers individually. For example, they can issue a mini-credit to pay off municipal debts or take over the expenses of a professional translator, in cases of obvious interest in the object of their client by a foreigner.
Everything would not be bad, but here are cases of fraud in this area — a common thing. A pre -signed agreement will help to avoid troubles. Carefully study it, do not rush to sign. If necessary, take it yourself or a copy and apply for explanations to the lawyer.
Surprisingly, not only customers, but also the agencies themselves can become a victim. In such cases, employees of the company who are in collusion with scammers or due to errors in the preparation of documents become the culprits. It is especially possible to emphasize the points in some contracts, allowing the contract to terminate the contract, if he used to choose the necessary object before the agency. This happens, the agency, having fulfilled its obligation, takes customers together and one of them breaks the contract, justifying its actions by independent finding the right object. “Having parted” with the real estate agency, the parties conclude an agreement between themselves and save on this percentage, rightfully owned by the agency.
Before concluding an agreement with the agency, make sure that the company is registered as a legal entity. Do not hesitate to ask the company’s representatives at all where you can contact when you have any problems. «Pure» agencies with self -confidence will always indicate a conflict commission. If its decision did not suit one of the parties, then you can appeal the decision in the Consumer Rights Protection Committee. But problems may arise here, since the legislative framework governing the activities of realtors is not really worked out, it is quite problematic to win the lawsuit to the client.
Choose agencies existing in the realt the time for a long time and have positive reviews from their clients, especially for agencies specializing in elite real estate.
Elite real estate agencies operate in the highest categories of real estate: “Business Class”, “Premium” and “Dlux”. As a rule, their portfolios always have good real estate objects in a variety of and prestigious areas.
