What is real estate brokerage and how does it work?
Real estate brokerage is a complex field that can seem opaque to people who are not familiar with it. To understand what real estate brokerage is and how it works, it is important to know that the real estate broker is an intermediary between the buyer, the seller and/or tenant and the owner. He is responsible for connecting the different parties and facilitating real estate transactions.
During the transaction, the real estate broker is responsible for finding properties that meet the criteria of the buyer or tenant, negotiating the conditions of sale or rental and taking care of the legal and administrative aspects related to the transaction. He is also often responsible for making price estimates for properties, scheduling visits and managing credit files for buyers or tenants.
It is important to note that real estate brokerage can be carried out by independent real estate agents or by real estate agencies. Independent real estate agents generally work for their own account and focus on a specific region. Real estate agencies, on the other hand, have staff and infrastructure to cover a wider area.
Real estate brokerage is regulated in most countries, and real estate brokers often must be registered with a regulatory authority to operate. In general, they must also carry professional indemnity insurance to cover any damage caused to their clients.
It is important to know that the real estate broker is remunerated for his services by a commission, which is generally taken from the sale or rental price of the property. This commission is generally shared between the real estate agent who represents the seller and the one who represents the buyer. It is therefore important to find out about the commission rates charged before calling on a real estate broker.
In summary, real estate brokerage is the activity of connecting the different parties to a real estate transaction (buyer, seller, owner, tenant) and facilitating this transaction.
The real estate broker can be an independent agent or work for a real estate agency, he is regulated and is remunerated by a commission on the sale or rental price. It is therefore important to find out about commission rates before hiring a real estate broker.
It is also important to choose an experienced broker who has a good knowledge of the region and the real estate industry to assist you in your purchase or rental projects. It can help you avoid common mistakes and offer valuable advice on finding the property that meets your needs and budget.
