3 Things Clients Do That Real Estate Agents Hate by djtconcept: 11:13pm On May 28, 2021
Renting an apartment is a way two way thing which should leave both the client and the real estate agent happy after the deal is settled but any move by either of such parties to outsmart the other might leave a side terribly disappointed.

Many situations have pointed out the dubious nature of agents, but we have failed to see that some clients also try to play smart on real estate agents when renting an apartment which is also unfair on them. integrityhomes.online

A man wanted about 2 plots of land in a particular area. One agent in the area took the man to different land until they found one, which was by the main road in a very busy environment and then negotiation started.

After about a week the agent was told that the man travelled and he would be back in a couple of weeks. Weeks went by, which led to months and there was no response from the man that wanted to buy the land, so the agent thought it was one of those unserious buyers who will just see a building inspect it and then disappear.

After about two months, someone told him that, the land he wanted to sell some months back has been sold, so the agent concluded that may be it was another person that bought it, but later found out that it was the same man that went to pay for the land without the agent knowing anything about it.

He confronted the people about it and they said that some other agent also took them to the land and they started bringing up all kinds of stories. integrityhomes.online

This may not sound bad to you but if you put yourself in the shoes of these real estate agents, you will come to understand how painful this is.

Below are 3 things that clients do that real estate agents hate:


Go Behind the Agent and Pay Directly to the Landlord

Just imagine for a second that you want to rent an apartment and you then have to go from house to house, street to street, looking for any vacant apartment. Do you know how stressful that can actually be?

Real estate agents help you take away that stress of moving from street to street in search of a good apartment because they already know where vacant houses are and they can also network themselves to help you find one, but it is actually sad that many clients tend to play smart on these agents by paying directly to the landlord with the goal of cutting off the agents commission.

After the stress real estate agent go through by helping you find a good apartment, you then go behind the agent and pay directly to the landlord, pretending to have found the house by yourself without the help of any estate agent, because some landlord may end up cutting down on the cost of the agreement and commission if there is no agent involved.

So sometimes don’t blame an estate agent when he/she tries to shield you from see the landlord, most of them are trying to avoid this type of incidence.

One thing you must understand is that when you rent an apartment through a real estate agent, most times you have someone to hold accountable to the promises put forth by the landlord before renting the apartment. integrityhomes.online

So make crucial decisions when renting an apartment, do you plan to use an online home listing platform like integrityhomes.online to rent or buy that property or you want to go directly to a real estate agent. Don’t try to play smart on them, so it doesn’t come back to hurt you.


Pay the rent Now and Pay the Agents Commission Later

Many clients are guilty of this. Even though it is understandable that many clients don’t have the total money at hand and really don’t want to lose the property, but as a client you don’t still have to let the agent be the fall guy or the one that loses out on the deal because many clients never pay the commission money again, some even end up quarrelling with the real estate agent because he is constantly asking for the money. integrityhomes.online

A real estate agent told me that if you let a client move into the building before paying the commission, then forget about collecting the money again.

Over 90% of clients will never pay it, even though they promise heaven and earth to do so, which is actually not fair.

Real estate agents work on commission. They do not get paid a dime unless they make a sale. Do you think it’s fair to have an agent show you different apartment, till you got the one that suits your taste, only to now tell them you will pay the rent now and settle them later. integrityhomes.online

I can tell you that every real estate agent hates this because they deserve to be paid for doing their work.

Looking for an Apartment without an Intention of Renting/Buying

This may sound untrue but many clients are guilty of this. They will walk into the office of a real estate agent and then give a description of what they intend to rent or buy, and the estate agent moves into action to find that perfect apartment for the client and after inspection, they suddenly disappear.

When a call is put through to him/her, he starts telling all kind of stories.

A fantastic apartment that suits your family is just one click away.
