Do you have to go through an intermediary to sell a house?

Selling a house can be done directly without an intermediary, which can save some intermediary fees, but it takes a lot of time and energy to find a credible buyer, and it will also be accompanied by risks, so you must be careful when trading a house yourself, otherwise you will be cheated.

Selling house process

1, both parties negotiate.

When buyers look at the house, if they are willing to bid, they will definitely bargain with you. Because the price of a house is not like the cost of ordinary goods, the price often depends on "consumer identification" and "market transaction price", so there is a little room for bargaining.

2. The seller receives the deposit.

If you negotiate the price and decide to trade the house, the buyer must pay a deposit first. The so-called deposit is the money paid by the buyer to the seller to ensure the repetition of the contract, which has the effect of the contract. After you accept the deposit, if the buyer goes back on his word, you have the right to confiscate the deposit, otherwise the seller (you) goes back on his word and you must double the refund.

3. Both parties sign the contract

When signing the agreement, buyers and sellers need to pay attention to carrying the house book and the property owner's ID card. When signing the agreement, the property owner of the seller needs to be present. If the property is owned by husband and wife, a power of attorney is required. If the property is jointly owned by husband and wife, proof that the spouse agrees to sell it is also required.

4, the buyer's audit

Before the transaction, buyers need to do qualification review to ensure that they are qualified to buy a house; The seller also needs to do house verification to ensure that the property rights of the house are clear and the unsecured seizure can be listed and traded normally (both can be carried out at the same time).

5. Online signs of houses

Second-hand houses must be signed online before sale, which is a mandatory requirement of the real estate management department. Once the online signing is successful, the same house can no longer generate a sales contract, and you can't sell the house to others. Of course, online signing can be carried out on the day when the general qualification examination and house verification pass, and buyers and sellers can sign the contract at the housing construction Committee where the property is located or entrust a local formal intermediary company to handle it on their behalf.

6. Fund supervision

In the process of fund supervision, the seller (you) needs to open an account in the bank, and the buyer will put the money into the account. The bank will temporarily freeze the money and unfreeze it after the house transfer is completed and pay it to the seller.

7. Payment and transfer of customs duties

The buyer and the seller must go to the local tax bureau within 30 days after signing the contract, and the buyer's deed tax must be paid at the Housing Authority.
