Some real estate agents have a superpower — getting paid for services they never provided 🙃
They find someone else’s listing and post it under their own name. And when a renter comes to view the apartment, they can just stand next to the owner and demand a commission. Sometimes they don’t even need to show up 😶🌫️
Of course, not everyone operates this way. But there are plenty of stories about such “professionals” on social media.
What’s especially upsetting is that even war doesn’t stop this desire to make easy money. They profiteer off internally displaced people moving to safer regions and off soldiers looking for housing near the front 🤯
Where do these astronomical commissions come from?
Why don’t we yet have clear rules governing how real estate agents should work?
And can you refuse to pay for unsolicited services?
