What does the new-age property brokers do differently

QUALITY CONTROL

Brokers are often not transparent about the quality of construction. 

DISTANCE SALE

The dependence on the broker is higher when buyers and sellers are in different locations.

TRANSPARENT FEES

Brokers get a commission, which is usually a percentage of the deal value.

ONLINE ADS

Real estate websites are full of misleading listings by brokers.

BIG ADVANTAGE

According to estimates, there are around one million brokers in the country who are neither registered nor regulated. 

UNLICENSED BROKERS

More often than not, agents tend to drive their own agenda to earn higher commissions.
