The (unwritten) rules of collaboration between real estate agents
On 6 June Rebeca Pérez published an article on the API.cat in which he reflected on the rules of collaboration that are taken for granted among the agencies that make up MLSs.
Our commitment to good practice has always been one of our objectives when we founded together with other agencies Up BarcelonaMLS specialising in the marketing of homes in the upper area of Barcelona, as well as in our day-to-day work, working side by side also with Immosomni. So when Rebeca contacted us to collaborate in the article, we couldn't say no. Below is an excerpt from the news article she contributed to José Luis EcheverríaMonapart partner, stressing "the importance of sharing quality standards of information related to shared properties".

[...] These are the unwritten rules of collaboration between real estate agents:
1. INFORMATION SHARING. All, all, all. Of each of the phases of the sale and purchase of the property and all related documents.
2. BE CLEAR ON ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. Define who is the buyer's agent and who is the seller's agent, who does what and who is paid what (and, if possible, to be paid at the time of signing).
3. TRUST. Being able to generate professional and friendship links. Want to get to know your partner.
4. BE AWARE THAT THE CUSTOMER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. And treat the other agent as a customer. And make sure you deal with solvent customers.
5. BE HONEST. Transparent. Loyal. No "skipping" a colleague (you know what I mean).
6. BE GENEROUS. Cooperate. Empathise. Give to receive. Don't hide your best properties. Don't put up obstacles.
7. WORKING ON AN EXCLUSIVE BASIS. Basic.
8. MANAGING QUALITY DATA. Keep the information of the properties you share very up to date. And be truthful and transparent.
9. BE VERY PROFESSIONAL. Respect basic rules of courtesy. Be punctual. Be decisive. Be proactive. Be organised. Be assertive. Be responsible. Willingness to train continuously. To make an effort.
10. DEAL WITH AGENTS WHO ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT THE PROFESSION.. And to know how to enjoy success together. [...]
