I have been looking to buy a property, was quite excited to do search on Zameen com in preferred area and price range. Then started calling to the agents, especially where the property was advertised recently ( Newest ). To my surprise ( or should I say I should not have been surprised) these advertisements were not new posting but refreshed when paid or manually refreshed by the agent. I have called almost over 20 agents and none of them have advertised property available at all. Standard reply from agent " what is your budget, I can find one for you", “this is sold but I can have a similar one”, “let me check if that is still available” etc. etc. I suggest for the credibility of website, Zameen.com should govern some rules or point system to rate these agents, have them remove the properties that are not available. Certainly it is a business for Zameen.com but I will be hesitant to recommend anyone to use this site if there are no results , that will eventually reduce the client traffic and impact on the visits.
Agents, let be serious and not waste your own time, and do not waste others.
Dealers like to play games all the time unfortunately, this is the reality in Pakistan. You have raised a valid point. I think Zameen should also have a list of market rates for different areas and genuine ratings of dealers so that others can give feedback.
Yes you are right some of dealer’s do these types of things but not everyone
