Man or women faced with the problem of sale of real estate may fall and the speculator, alone. I will not vilify all realtors, many worthy organizations that provide quality Realtor services. Certainly, the market of real estate services needs and demand. Moreover, not all realtors crooks. Any person faced with the problem of sale of real estate may fall and the speculator, alone. What really should be wary of the actions of a realtor? Often, citizens are faced with the Realtor "firm" whose office is a basement room, located on the outskirts of the city and state in two or three people. "Office" seems appropriate: the naked walls, a couple of chairs, desks, and computer pre-perestroika times. Typically, in such an office you are offered "exclusive offer" on a "today only and only for you." Such a statement in itself should push on certain thoughts.
Even if you are in office realty firm, located in the heart of the city, with a huge sign at the entrance and the exclusive repair at the office - do not lose vigilance. Here you can also "exclusively" to deceive. Prevalent when realtors are aware in advance that a potential buyer does not know the area in which plans to buy an apartment, and the pluck to such an extent that change sign with the numbers of apartments and houses. At the same time you suggest a good apartment at a very affordable price.
Typically, these realtors behave, at least, strange: to hasten the buyer, offended at the lack of trust on your part, deliberately carelessly report just received a phone call from some mysterious buyer who is ready to "pick up" the apartment this very hour. In this simple way (in the style of "trusting the Russian soul is dedicated to ..."), pushing you sign a contract and received the money, "the company" simply disappear, to emerge some time later under another guise, and elsewhere. This so-called firm-by-night.
Do not start cooperation with the realtor's firm, if you are offered the option of sharing your apartment to another (supposedly the best or most suitable to you). In this case, you will not report information about the value of the apartment, and your losses could amount to 10-20% of its real value. Subsequently, to prove that you cheated would be virtually impossible.
Protect yourself from fraud is not easy, but possible. First and foremost, it is necessary to examine the activities of the company (preferably several). Here, useful advice of friends and acquaintances. If you can not win someone else's recommendations, you can find out about the company itself, the good ways to get information now abound. Choose the best company for years successfully working in the market of real estate services.
Finding a Realtor firm that suits you, I advise you to pay particular attention to the service contract. This is the important step that most of us slips instantly, as the stairs. The risk, of course, it noble, but not in the case of buying real estate. We strongly recommend not signing a contract immediately, and taking it with a sample for detailed study. In a calm atmosphere to get a grasp of each contract item, please check that you are not comfortable or uncomfortable. Tag necessarily makes things easier not to miss important points. After self-study terms of the contract, contact legal counsel and ask questions if you do not understand. If you are a Realtor firm refused to turn over in his hands a sample contract - worth thinking about cooperation with this company.
If the conditions of the contract and reputation of the firm you're happy - to contract, but do not forget that one copy of the contract must necessarily remain in your hands. Some firms are postponing the issuance of the contract at the hands of the client, arguing for example that they can not agree with his hand the document, as there is no person authorized to sign such contracts, no printing, etc. Excuses. Before you have any further relationship with this firm, wait for the approval of the contract and get your copy. No contract will be difficult to prove something, if the service you will be provided properly.
Never give your realtors money as an advance payment or deposit, if you do not issue a receipt for money or if the contract.
Honest realtor will never ask their client to collect their own documents. If a realtor values its reputation, it checks and collects all of the documents themselves, as there is always the chance that the client can be deceiving. You can ask realtors to take some part of themselves in order to reduce their expenses to pay for his services (for example, ask him to assume such a daunting task as getting help from the BTI). Honest realtor will not do it, because you can give him a fake certificate, obtained by illegal means, and this certificate will not reflect the real picture about the state of your apartment (eg, you hacked an additional door, but in terms of not).
The easiest way to fraud in real estate services is the so-called rewards for the selection of options. Generally, money you did not immediately take. To get started you will be relevant to your request an apartment, and if the landlord agrees to sell it on such terms as you suggest, realtor gets you to your reward. Further, the scenario is quite simple: the landlord, "reconsidered" to sell it. Money for the selection of options realtor will not return because the deal fell "due to circumstances beyond his control." In fact, everything is much simpler: the owner - the figurehead, the contract for services you forgot to sign or not very carefully read and therefore missed the line that "the company is not liable ..."
Scams are not uncommon with apartments, the owners have died and their heirs have not appeared. Usually, it's lonely living citizens, followed by "hunting" cheaters. If such an apartment come to the attention of swindlers, they are very quick to find namesakes or very distant relatives, who could not be inherited. Further, these "heirs" in the courts require them to recognize the ownership of the premises, the owner of which died. In the case of judicial decision in favor of psevdonaslednikov, the apartment is made in the property and quickly sold.
This variant is relatively easy to track. Firstly, it is worth considering if a new owner came in inheritance rights after six months. Secondly, we should pay attention to what death he died the previous owner. Does not violent? And the further relationship of the new owner with the deceased, the greater the likelihood of cheating customers.
In light of recent events, pay special attention to the owner of the land on which stands a house with an apartment of your dreams. Passes if you own situation proportion of land, or at one point, some uncle could fly out of his chair and his place will be another uncle, who wants to tear down your house as an illegal construction?
Can deceive both the buyer and the seller. And this is not an exhaustive list of fraudulent tricks. But it's easier to try to protect yourself and make the real estate purchase a pleasant event, rather than treat such a serious step lightly and bite your elbows rest of his life.
