Real Estate / Extra costs when buying a flat in Poland [13]
About half of the agents that insist on the buyer agreement form kick up one heck of a fuss when I refuse to sign. I've witnessed lots of tantrums from them. Of course, the majority don't ask for a signature, but at least 2 out of 10 do.
The myth that Polish people don't use agents is sadly just that, a myth. Using agents is an unfortunate part of life here. I've pretty much given up on buying due to the pretty consistent discovery of a significant number of sellers still seeming to think they can achieve unrealistic prices.
DO NOT sign their agreement forms when looking at flats!
