1. Review the qualifications of the intermediary and choose a real estate agency with a business license. It is more reliable. Without a business license, you are not allowed to handle the business of a real estate agency, so there is no guarantee. The person may take the money and run away. . Real estate brokerage institutions and their branches shall publicize the following contents in a conspicuous position of their business premises: business license and filing certification documents, service items, business processes, charging items, transaction fund supervision methods, credit file inquiry methods, complaint telephone numbers and prices Report hotline, real estate brokerage service contract, house sales contract, house rental contract model text, laws, regulations, and rules formulated by the competent government departments or industry organizations. 2. Sign a written contract. The intermediary company is not your agent. The intermediary company serves both buyers and sellers, so do not trust the verbal promises of the intermediary company service personnel. 3. Sign a two-party agreement. It is best to sign a two-party agreement directly with an intermediary company. Do not sign a three-party agreement between the buyer, seller and intermediary company, because in a three-party agreement, the intermediary often passes the responsibility to both the buyer and the seller and only charges the intermediary. No responsibility is assumed for fees. 4. Sign a supplementary agreement when necessary. In most cases, buyers and sellers spend a lot of time signing the contract and do not read the terms carefully. The agent only tells you where to sign. The buyer and seller have no idea about the obligations of the agent in the contract. and how responsibilities are agreed upon. It is recommended that the relevant matters should be clarified in the special agreement and kept in writing, especially for false promises made by intermediaries. Otherwise, in the event of a dispute, the buyer or seller will have difficulty in proving the case and bear adverse risks. 5. Require the intermediary company to verify the authenticity of the property. It is stipulated in the intermediary contract that if the buyer suffers losses due to errors in the authenticity of the property, he shall be liable for compensation. What is the amount of compensation? For example, the transparency of information disclosure in real estate transactions. It is very important to consider issues such as the location of the house, the nature of the house (whether it is limited housing, affordable housing, central delivery housing, etc.), area, surrounding facilities, age, orientation, etc., whether there is a real owner, whether it is mortgaged, whether it is a Degree room. 6. Request the intermediary company to verify the identity of the owner of the house. Ask the intermediary company to arrange a meeting with the owner of the house to verify whether the house title certificate or real estate certificate is consistent with the ID card and household registration book. If the owner of the house does not come forward, the buyer should ask him to issue a certificate. Entrust the power of attorney and agree that the intermediary has the obligation to copy and retain these documents, otherwise the intermediary company shall bear liability for breach of contract. 7. Use the documents provided by the intermediary company as attachments to the contract. For example, the floor plan of the house, a copy of the real estate certificate, and other supporting materials provided by the intermediary company can be used as attachments to the intermediary contract. 8. Keep the information of the person in charge of the intermediary company. You can ask the intermediary company for a copy of the person in charge’s badge, a copy of the work card, or the person’s business card. Because the manager may not be the broker specified in the sales contract, the intermediary company may not recognize the manager as an employee of the company after a dispute occurs. 9. Clarify the service matters of the intermediary company, such as providing real estate information, on-site viewing, verification of the authenticity of the house, drafting contracts, assisting with online signing, assisting with face-to-face signing, assisting with house property transfer, etc.
