Here are 4 reasons why perhaps it is often not so convenient to look for a property promoted directly by the owner:

1.Every owner is convinced that his property is perfect, the best on the market, because it is his ... the valuation and the resulting selling price thus processed is usually out of the market, with prices higher than those of the properties offered and actually bought and sold or leased in a given historical moment. Agencies and intermediaries before promoting a property specifically prepare an evaluation, often free with relative market analysis and comparables.
On the contrary, owners often sell their property at a lower price than a larger and more visible market would have allowed them to realize.

2. SOS scams, especially in the rental market, is incongruent in fake ads, of properties that do not exist, with the risk of being deceived. The advice is to distrust from property at bargain prices when you do not have the general information of the owner.

3. The houses offered for sale by private online represent about 4% of the total number of properties on the market, looking for private homes that preclude 96% of the properties on the market.

4. The parties are often not aware of how best to conduct a negotiation with the foresight and compliance with the pre-contractual phase, the reviews, the certifications, the preliminary, the appropriate checks are not carried out on the property and the due due diligence on the same. Which is why it can happen that - even if in good faith - the transaction leads to legal proceedings with an increase in costs on both sides.

Saving at all costs can therefore lead to longer times and, in some cases, to higher costs than those required by a trusted professional. The average cost of the commission varies on average from 2% to 4% depending on the area, the type of property and is a cost that is incurred only at the conclusion of the deal.
