Instructions for a beginner realtor

• Leave your previous job. Mastering a new profession will take almost all of your time. By devoting a couple of hours a day to studying theory, it is impossible to understand all the specifics of this work. Practice is an integral part of immersion in the profession of a realtor, and combining it with the main job is almost impossible.
• Find an agency. In the beginning, it is better to choose a quality organization, working in which you can gain new knowledge and skills. Also, agencies have their own databases, to which you will have access. Later you can move on to independent work.
• Develop yourself. Communicate with people who have achieved some success in this area, study the laws (various codes, the Mortgage Law, the Law on Registration of Rights to Real Estate and others).
• Look for clients. Working with a person directly is always more profitable than through intermediaries.
• Remember the rules. When applying for a job at a real estate agency, you need to understand that they have their own rules, which may differ from everyone else.

How to terminate a contract with a real estate agency?

Agreements with realtors, regardless of the specifics and volume of services provided, are subject to the guarantees of the Federal Law of 02/07/1992 No. 2300-1 “On the Protection of Consumer Rights”.

Within the meaning of Art. 32 Federal Law No. 2300-1 dated 02/07/1992, the client has the opportunity to cancel the contract at any time. The only consequence of such a refusal is the payment of expenses actually incurred by the agency , the presence of which must be documented.

The grounds for termination may be:

• Failure to provide services within the specified time frame.
• Buying a home on your own.
• A change in the client’s life circumstances, due to which he changed his mind about purchasing property, etc.

a written notice is submitted to the real estate agency in two copies, on one of which the receiving party puts its mark of acceptance .

Notification can be sent by mail or registered mail. The document must indicate the intention of termination and the date of refusal of services.

The real estate agency's demand that the buyer pay a penalty upon termination of the contract is unlawful.

If remuneration is paid, then he is obliged to return this amount, minus expenses for the services provided. If within 10 days from the date the buyer sends the notice the agency does not fulfill the necessary conditions for termination, the client has the right to go to court (Article 31 of the Federal Law of 02/07/1992 No. 2300-1).

The buyer has the right to demand that the company pay a penalty in case of untimely return of remuneration for services, in the amount of three percent for each day of delay (clause 5 of article 28 of the Federal Law of 02/07/1992 No. 2300-1).

Instructions for realtor

The work of a realtor consists of three stages: searching for a client, negotiating and searching for options, and organizing a transaction. Let's take a closer look at them.

• You can search for a client in different ways: via the Internet, using favorable reviews of past clients about you, and other methods.
• Negotiations and search for options. First, you need to adequately assess the value of the property, but present the apartment as expensive as possible (high-quality photos, emphasis on the positive aspects). However, there is no need to hide the negative characteristics of the apartment; when they come to light, you can ruin your reputation as a realtor. Make high-quality advertising, try to convey to potential buyers why they need to buy a certain property right now, and from you. Be confident and friendly with clients, be positive and try to make the potential buyer fall in love with the apartment. You can offer “bonuses” that your competitors don’t have. But do not forget that your main task is to find the most favorable option for the client. And not something that “needs to be sold.”
• Organization of the transaction. Prepare all the necessary documents and organize everything in accordance with the laws of the Russian Federation.

How to renew or re-register a license

The law on licensing and regulations on types of activities describe situations when companies and individual entrepreneurs need to renew or re-issue a license and when it can be revoked.

Renewal. Most licenses have no term limit. There are exceptions, for example, for the production and retail sale of alcohol, the license period is one year, for the management of apartment buildings - five years.

Re-registration. If an individual entrepreneur or company changes data, the license must be reissued. For example, an entrepreneur changed his last name or place of residence, or the company moved to a new address.

The individual entrepreneur opened a children's educational center in Nizhny Novgorod, and he received a license here. A year later he opens a branch in Vladimir. Before opening a branch, an individual entrepreneur must re-issue a license. For example, through the government services website.

An example of re-issuing a license on the government services website

The procedure for renewing and re-issuing licenses is described in the licensing regulations. In both cases, an individual entrepreneur or organization needs to fill out an application on the government services website, in an electronic document management system, submit it in person or by mail. In some cases, you need to pay a state fee.

How will you be punished if you work without a license?

For working without a license, a company or individual entrepreneur risks being punished under an administrative or criminal article. The penalty depends on the income of the business and damage if it is caused to people, the state or the environment due to the fault of the individual entrepreneur or company. The amount of damage is assessed by the court.

If an individual entrepreneur or company operates without a license, not only it, but also its counterparties are at risk.

Risks of on-site inspection

During a desk audit, the tax office discovered that the individual entrepreneur was working with a small security company. The company does not have a license.

Intermediary services in hiring and renting out housing

As a rule, the services of an intermediary when renting an apartment are paid by the tenant . This is the generally accepted norm. What is renting housing with a commission? This means that the cost of the agent's work falls on the person interested in finding an apartment.

In some cases, the owner pays the commission. Typically, the owner himself pays a fee to the intermediary if he rents out luxury, expensive housing.
