Needs Mismatch
Does not keep your needs in mind.
Sir, kaunse location main ghar dhoodh rahe ho aap?
Aur Sir aap ka budget kya rahega?
Buying a house is not only based on the above answers. It is much beyond that.
It’s actually stepping into the client’s shoes and understanding his needs, desires and aspirations behind the house purchase. Also, it involves helping him gain more clarity about his needs and financial ability to buy the house.
More time and energy spent
Time spent on inspecting unsuitable properties.
If the needs are not charted out properly at the onset, a lot of time is spent on seeing unsuitable properties leaving you confused and bemused at the end of the day. Moreover, it adds up to the frustration and stress going from one property to another in the brutal climate of Mumbai.
Comparative Study and Research missing
Unable to provide competitive and comparable analysis of different projects.
Every project has to be examined on the basis of its price per square feet, floor rise appreciation, rental yield, maintenance, location outlook/vicinity and some more parameters so as to make a comparative study. Comparative study is very crucial part of the home buying exercise as it leads you to make informed decision. If your agent is not qualified and equipped enough to do this, you are definitely heading for tough times.
Focused on Sale
Does not appraise you critically about the projects.
A developer will always talk hunky dory about his projects. It is the duty of your agent/realtor to inform you all the good as well as limiting aspects of the particular house or project. The developer would employ marketing blitzkrieg to persuade and convince you to buy the property. However, it’s the job of your agent to read between the lines of this marketing material and bring in light all the relevant details concerning the project.
Accountability
Does not own a proper office, website and social media presence.
The broker community in India being a much unorganised sector is not bound to any specific legal rules and protocols. Only recently with the advent of RERA, an attempt has been made to cover them under the legal umbrella. In such a scenario you need to work with qualified professionals who are self-accountable. In today’s day and age, having a digital footprint is must rather than just been an option.
Just a middleman
Uncompetitive to provide advice, leaving decision making completely on you.
“Am I taking the right decision?” – There is a constant dialogue that a buyer has with himself. He is seeking approval and reconfirmation constantly about his decision.
It’s the job of your agent/realtor to help you derive at the decision keeping all the parameters in mind.
The decision of buying a house is a life defying one and, definitely, needs caution. The buyer is a little fearful taking the decision and all he needs is a little push, a little motivation and little empathy to finally take the plunge.
No Post Sales Service
Does not walk with you till the last mile.
The job of the agent/realto does not end once the contract is signed. It is his duty to be present in case of any conflict that may occur between the two parties and help to derive at a mutual point.
Pay more
It is the duty of the agent/realtor to do proper market research and make best rates and best inventory available to his buyer. A good agent/realtor will always help you get a good deal and not an expensive deal.
Since house buying is a crucial decision one takes in his/her life, one needs a hand-holding of a professional agent/realtor in the modern generation. Housing Kafe would like to assist you if you’re looking for someone similar.
