Recognise thieves in Real Estate Industry

As you know there are hundreds of illegal real estate agents in the market. Illegal in the sense they do not have correct visas to deal with such jobs. They have come in some other company visas but all what they do is finding houses for others and charging commissions. Nowadays it is difficult to get a house directly from owners because of this mafia. Not only that, they take money from prospect tenants saying that it is a deposit or a down payment to reserve the house. But some of these people vanish after that. They will not answer their phone after that. Please be careful from them.

If you have live example for this, please post their details so that everybody will know them…

Nowadays it is difficult to get a house directly from owners because of this mafia. Not only that there is a big impact for rental amounts from these people, may be only 60% of rent is gone to landlords but 40% goes to these agents / intermediates. We are paying (Family people) almost 50% of our salaries as house rents.

Well said..but how can get contacted to the house owners?

I think they are not interested to deal directly with people.
