Feel and record some greasy doorsteps. The house was rented out to a well-known green logo intermediary. Out of fear of trouble, I participated in one of their rental plans that package N-year fixed income. The advantage is that the intermediary will take care of all the problems and the income is determined. Even if it is not rented out, the company subsidizes the income; the disadvantage is the rent. A little lower than the ideal market price. In my own judgment, if only an intermediary advertises for you, or if you go to attract individual customers by yourself, it is likely that the gap period will not be as good as a full package.
There is a ridiculous fee in this contract, and 800 maintenance funds are deducted every year. It just so happened that today the tenant went to the agent angrily and said that the air conditioner was damaged. Estimated maintenance cost around 700. The intermediary came to me again and said that this was a “large expenditure” that could not be covered by the maintenance fund.
I heard that the chrysanthemum was tight at the time, and the rent was only started after the end of the epidemic. I didn’t make much money, and the cost was a bit more. So I adopted a strategy of understanding the details while not directly agreeing.
Thinking about it, this air conditioner cannot be damaged for no reason, and the maintenance is so expensive that it may be a one-off price rip-off. So I decided that my bottom line is to “split” the cost, and after a few rounds, I managed to get rid of the cost. . . . . free
In retrospect. Just saw a similar example on the Internet:
It probably means a traffic accident, the insurance claims a headlight, and found that the headlight is not the original factory but has been refitted later, so I proposed to let the car owner pay at his own expense.
The following discussions are:
12378, just one (report) call. Many times the damage assessor wants you to take this step, and he doesn’t have to be in a dilemma, and it’s not out of his pocket money
This principle opened my mind. In my case, it may be a routine used by intermediaries. First of all, this contract is not signed with the intermediary, but with the company where the intermediary works for a package rental project. So here the intermediary actually has no “interest-related” relationship with the rental income. He just gets a fixed percentage share or salary from the company’s project. As for the overall loss or profit of this rental project, it has nothing to do with the intermediary itself. He just needs to find the right source of customers, rent them out at the right price, and settle everything in the rental process. The rest of the question is the responsibility of the company’s actuary who developed the program.
What is the cost of eating for an intermediary clerk? Have a good relationship with customers in the area. So offending customers and embarrassing customers is the next best thing to do. Even if the company loses money on this project, does it have anything to do with the clerk himself? Even if the company goes bankrupt tomorrow, which company would the sales staff not work for?
The same goes for the car insurance example. The loss adjuster will find fault with the car owner when he is full. Even if he saves the money in claims, he has no “interest relationship” with the damage adjuster himself. But the reason why the loss adjuster would choose such an embarrassing problem for the customer is nothing more than completing a set of actions stipulated by the system. So at this time, the car owner does not need to get angry and quarrel with the claim adjuster. He only needs to let the claim adjuster have a step to stand on his side, and the balance of the whole problem will be tilted.
