Agent / Agency Involvement in Rental / Sale transaction!!! Super Important!!

It is always advisable to keep the Agent / Agency aware and keep them bound to the deal purely because it is because of them that the deal is taking place and they are responsible if something goes wrong terribly. You may be the landlord / Potential Tenant / Buyer or Seller etc. It does not matter as long as you keep the Agent / Agency involved and properly updated, you have done your bit. The professionals love to get involved and learn more and more. It's amateurs who only want the money. 

Not only does it help to have the agent or agency involved but you could also use them as witnesses in the same transaction and that truly helps a great deal.  They are able to understand matters more clearly and advise if something goes wrong or is not done in the manner it should be done. There are very few people who have a not-so-great impression about agents in Sri Lanka, this mentality is surely going to change especially with the professional agents and agencies that are in town. There is a big difference in the experience you receive from the amateurs and the pros. 

Do not single out the agents or write them off, there is a good chance that you would come across a poor agent who gives you a hard time, try to work with as many as you can. You would know which agent fits into your matter with little difficulty. When it comes to sharing information with agent / agencies, it's best to have most of it in writing and thereby keep things professional. Some Agents hate to put matters in black and white while the pros simply love that aspect of communication. 

Have a pleasant experience with the agent/ agency you choose to work with.
