Ecuador real estate agents:
Assistance with regard to real estate dealings can be made easy with the help of real estate agents. The real estate agents may be certified and may have undergone training in real estate dealings or may not have acquired formal training.The real estate brokers do not provide listing of properties always. There are times when a property is sold only by word of mouth. A real estate broker residing in Cuenca may not have information about property in Quito. There is no provision for multiple listings in Ecuador real estate market. It is not surprising if the cost of property (a land, apartment or house) in the city is valued at different prices by different real estate brokers.
The real estate agents arrange for lawyers if the clients so demand. Carrying out paper works, carrying the real estate deal to completion are taken care of by these agents. In the event when an individual has sufficient cash on hand, the individual is always in a position to bargain. It has been observed in Ecuador, that people who make purchases with cash negotiate the deal at a cost, which is 60% to 70% less than the original price of the property.
