Hi:
Look like in Spain we are crazy and I am sure we are not. Lets make numbers:
If I own a house and i want every month 400€, and I rent directly (I put advertisements somewhere) I will get 4800€ in a year.
If I contact a Real State that wants 400€ there is two ways to pay that:
The guest pays 400€ directly to the Real State so my price stays on 400€/month
I move up the price 433€/month so i get 5196 in a year less 400€ for the Real State equals 4796€
It is the same, one way you see it and another way you dont see, but you always pay.
I'm not an agent but I understand that if someone makes a work he deserve to be paid. I own a house that I offer to rent, but I think I can make the work myself (I dont know as good).
