Hi There!
I'm from Brazil and I'm trying to build a bussiness at Real Estate market here.
I would like to know, in your country, how it is running... How the market works, if you have agents or the owners sale/rent their properties for their own (if the agents works per fee)...please, tell me more!
Which marketplace is the most popular...
In Brazil this is a huge market and we have different ways to work with it.
If you have a house, and you want to sale it you can go through agents or advertise your property directly.
An agent receive a fee around 6% of your house price sale, and they do all bureaucracy for you (and we have a lot!)
In the other hand, if you wanna to do it by your own, you need to guarantee that your rights and duties are all at the process.
These two are good examples of marketplaces here:
https://www.zapimoveis.com.br (you pay for advertises packages)
https://www.quintoandar.com.br (you pay a fee just if they rent your property)
