Why do I need to legitimize your employees when looking at real estate?
We at AKTIDO want to ensure the maximum level of safety and reliability for our clients. When we take you into a property that you have found on our web portal and expressed the desire to look at it, we are obliged to give the owner of this property information who is the person we brought to him on the door.
We believe that you would not feel comfortable if we show your apartment to the unknown people about whom you do not know anything.
Since you, as a buyer of real estate, do not sign any contract with the Agency and do not charge you our services, the only way to know who you are is to legitimize.
Why should your representative attend a property tour? Is it easier to give me the phone number of owner to contact him?
This is something impossible. It is necessary to differentiate the advertising of the real estate from the mediation service. When we provide a mediation service to the customer, our task is to find a potential buyer according to customer*s order and bring him in line with it.
Therefore, it is a complex service that includes a whole range of actions which need to be taken before the legal transaction is concluded (a sales contract).
