Agent. How to choose a realtor

It's no secret that the profession of estate agent, many are treated with suspicion. Therefore, when making transactions with real estate is often the question arises: to make it without the middlemen, thus saving on their services, or ask for help from a specialist. Of course, it is better to use the services of a professional. In this case, you will be accompanied at all stages of the transaction - from the first consultation until the conclusion of the contract of sale. With the contract signed with the real estate company, you get the legal basis for competent conduct of the transaction. Thus, all your requirements and wishes will be recorded in the document legally binding. Of course, the services of a professional estate agent are not cheap, but in this case there is no risk that you will lose much more. But how do you choose a professional Realtor and not to fall into the clutches of another rogue whose sole purpose - to get the maximum benefit?

The first thing to do is inquire with their friends and acquaintances about the presence of such a specialist to whom they are not so long ago addressed and satisfied with the quality of services rendered. Approximately 60% of clients real estate company to go for services is on the recommendation of friends and acquaintances.

If you do not recommend anyone, do not despair. Pay attention to the advertisements in the newspapers. It is worth considering that the greater the advertising company holds firm, the more its services, but do not apply and the company is too cheap, the proper level of quality of service you will not be provided. Must choose something in between.

A very important factor in choosing real estate company - it's her experience in the real estate market and the availability of various certificates of membership in professional associations, companies, international certificates such as ISO 9001:2000, participation in major trade shows, voluntary insurance for its activities and all transactions. Although the licensing of real estate activity ceased, it would be nice to see the old license. This confirms the fact that the company actually has long worked on the real estate market.

If the firm provides free consultations, it is desirable to use this service. This will help to familiarize with the atmosphere of the agency and the people who work there.

Before entering into a contract with a real estate company, you should also inquire about the fees the agency. This will allow you to see how honest the company you have chosen. Typically, realtors services account for about 5% of the transaction, and if you call less, not get too happy, it could mean that the rest of the commission from you just simply trying to conceal. Thus if the company really tries to hide from you the size of its actual commission of the transaction, it will not allow your personal presence on the advances in the sale / purchase of flats. Thus, you should know if you can write in terms of the contract your personal presence on the advances associated with the apartment, an oral agreement with absolutely nothing. Be sure that unscrupulous company will find reasons to deny you with this.

It should draw attention to myself a sample contract. The model agreement should not fit on one sheet, because it must take into account the many nuances and very often our lawyers have to supplement and process it according to each situation.

Plus of large real estate agencies is the existence of an exclusive basis, ie except for apartments which are freely available, you can choose from those that can not be found on the ads - they only sell the company. Also in the professional real estate company, you can use the services of specialists in the field of real estate appraisal, lawyers, notaries and others.

If you select a good realtor you follow these recommendations, you will be less likely to be the victim of a rogue, trying to profit at your expense.
