False real estate agencies
If you ever tried to rent an apartment, you probably know, they are called "sellers" list. These so-called agencies have apparently cost very interesting, against € 200 in almost a month in rent for the real agencies.
In addition they always have very many offers and fill the columns of newspapers classifieds found in our mailboxes.
So what's the difference?
In a seller list, you must first pay the fee of 200 € which allows you to view rental offers with contact information for owners. Then it's up to you to contact him, and he will show you. The agency is no longer involved.
Of course, if you can not find your happiness, registration fees are lost. ![]()

Students in the cities these sellers abound. Indeed many students, including foreigners, are misled by much lower costs. The problem is that the ads are often real offers provided by an owner. In most cases the lists are made up of piochées bids at various locations: free ads, other agencies (so it will repay the costs), and even offers outdated for months. ![]()
Of course, one should not generalize some are doing their job. However, this method remains a very profitable since all customers must pay, while in a normal office only customers who sign a lease pay.

I am not against the vendors list, if they find pigeons to pay, they are right to enjoy it. For cons, I do not understand that he be allowed to bear the name of estate agents. They should have a name that clearly identifies them.

In any case we have in France a function of real estate agencies borked. To buy or rent housing, we must pass through several agencies to review their offers. In other countries, you go to an agency, you describe what you seek, and that is the work of the agency to find a slot. The real estate agent will contact his colleagues if he has nothing for you and they will share the commission.
It's a win for fonctionnemnt as one who seeks for the agency: better a half-board than nothing.
When will we finally France agencies that will actually help to find accommodation?

This is especially true for tenants with the crisis and the looming real estate crash, buyers are spoiled for choice in the coming months ... Hopefully rents follow the same path, even if it is not pleasing to the overall economy. ![]()










Regarding real estate, inflation we have experienced in recent years has led inevitably to the collapse of the housing bubble in which the crisis has plunged fianciere it there.
Over the years, fewer and fewer potential buyers were on the market because of the lack of clear household credit.
Prices must necessarily be lowered today, returning to values more in line with actual financial capacities of French households.
Financial institutions have contributed to the inflation of housing prices, which allowed them to pass the recipe.
Real estate agents have also always enjoyed driving prices to rise sharply.
The high prices have gradually dried up the number of buyers in the market and more particularly recently with the tightening of lending conditions. The purchasing power of a french thereby greatly reduced. The share paid to real estate has become increasingly important.
The market correction is therefore based on the vendors who have previously paid a high price. All have not the opportunity to revise their prices downward. This is why some find themselves blocked.
The rental market where prices are extremely high is closely related to the sale price. The seller amortized its investment based on the purchase price
I was a victim of these agencies, sincerely beware
