Meeting a Real Estate Broker

A real estate broker is a person who represents both the seller (builder/construction company) and the buyer (a person interested in purchasing the property). The seller appoints or authorizes the real estate broker to deal with the buyer. The real estate broker has complete knowledge about the property, including the price of the house, the plot area on which the bungalow is constructed, the built-up area of the house and more.

It is important that you meet up with a few different real estate brokers. Each real estate broker will have the knowledge of different bungalow township Kolkata and will help you identify the right home for purchase. It is you the buyer who has to decide which home you would like to purchase.

Many factors will influence your decision to purchase a home. One of the most decisive factors is the needs of your family. How many rooms are required in the home, do you want the bungalow to have open space, do you want the home to be in a township that offers amenities like club house, swimming pool, gymnasium etc.

When meeting the real estate broker ask them all the questions you have for them. Ask them who the construction company is and what is their background. Ask about their previous projects and most importantly ask whether the builder has got all the requisite approvals for the housing project.

On meeting each real estate broker you can collect the project brochure. The brochure will contain images of the project and will carry almost all basic information about the project.

Visiting the Bungalow Township and Meeting the Developer
