Former real estate worker reveals ‘trick’ they use to make rent more expensive

“Fictional actor” and former real estate worker, Julio Puche (@juliopuche99), revealed what real estate agencies do to rents that make them high, creating problems for those looking for a home to live in, especially young people with limited resources. The incident you mentioned takes place in Valencia.

He based this on his work experience, which doesn’t mean everyone does it, but in his case, he spent a year where he saw some “tricks.”

“I’m currently living with my girlfriend in an apartment shared with two other girls, we’re paying $1,200 for four of us and can’t afford to live alone,” he explained.

He explained this: when someone has an empty apartment that they are not using, the real estate agency recommends renting out the apartment. Despite his refusal, they continue to insist until he is convinced. Then they do “free estimate”but the owner goes to another real estate agency to also make an assessment.

The tenant immediately moves to the first option, telling him that there is another real estate agency that has estimated the rent much higher, so the first one is raising it again. “And what happens at the end? This is the floor, this is shit

They give you 1,000 euros, and the real estate agency wants to take a commission,” he explained.

In addition, the user reasoned that the owner was indicating that he did not want “neither old nor young”. “They want the tenants to be doctors or airplane pilots so they can get 1,000-1,200 euros every month,” he continued.

“I think it’s some kind of cult, it makes me angry, and Because of this, I also want to occupy these apartments., you can’t rent it for 1200 euros when it’s crap. This is NOT normal,” he concluded in the video, which racked up nearly 25,000 views and almost 1,000 likes in less than 24 hours.
