Just people making passive income guys, nothing to see here.

We once heard of a service that would help us find a rental house. So we went there, had to pay for an appointment. Turns out they do nothing you cannot do yourself, and you pay a lot. They literally just put you in the system, which you can do yourself, and when you get a house through that system, which is free and from the government, they make you pay through the nose for that house.

Of course, since I am native in this country I have no need for a service like that. Turns out they mostly do this to people who don't speak the language. I guess they offer a service, but their fees are excessive for what they do. They abuse the fact those people don't know any better.

There's lots of people making a profit from somebody else's house finding misery and I hate it.

This reminds me of the Italian websites that resell tickets for exhibits that can be purchased much cheaper directly from the exhibit's actual website. The exhibit sites tend to be in Italian only or are more difficult to find.

my parent went through that service, except they were trying rent out the other house, they are rich by any means. but it was the same process the agents basically did nothing, just put your house in thier database thats it.

Sounds like France. There's a whole industry of people charging a months rent or more just to make a few phone calls and assemble some basic documents. Not easy to rent a place by any means, but these providers do not offer a good value because they are not actually real estate agents.
