Yes. Khusan, you can!
As we are just starting up, we are not aware of any issues as of yet. Should you have troubles, please let us know by using either the feedback option on the left side of the page or the contact form at the bottom.
Currently there are two major options available for those promoting or searching for property. Either you can go to a real estate site or you can go to a classifieds site. Both offer many options, however we find that they also offer constraints.
If you are someone who would like to maintain a total overview of what is happening with your property offered or wanted ad, or someone who would like to find the exact property that suits you, then Khusan is the site for you.
As we are a classifieds site exclusively for real estate and property (however you prefer to call it), you get almost all of the benefits of a realtor site while maintaining the ease of a classifieds site. And the best benefit of all – all ads are and will remaing free of charge.
Anyone. Home owner, realtor, real estate agent, apartment owner, tenant, individual, business owner, ex-pats, land owner, trustee and all the other possibilities regarding the buying, selling, renting, leasing, swapping and trading of property.
And what can be advertised? Anything – that has a roof over it.
As about 1 of 5 people have some anti-social tendencies and 1 of 40 people are truly anti-social, it’s important to know some things about property transactions.
Make sure you are properly informed about the rules and regulations of the country in which you are doing your property transaction if you are not already familiar with them.
If you don’t feel yourself competent in judging the value or condition of a property, make sure to involve a licensed specialist.
The best way to avoid a fraudulent transaction is to get yourself educated. The Internet is full of helpful tips to avoid scams and such. There are many indications when a person is offering you a scam – the most evident being that the person does not want to release information, such as address, numbers and other revealing information. This is the first indication, however there are many more that when you can discover them, will help you to avoid that expensive scam.
The best advice also: when under pressure, take your time. These are the moments that the scam artist can take advantage of you. Get full contracts with full details and referrals and ensure to wait for these – don’t go rushing off into a deal until you are sure it is genuine. And always ask for a receipt when handing over cash money. This one is from personal experience.
When invited to view a property, never go alone.
Never agree to bring cash, unless you have already viewed the property, have the papers in hand and have checked their validity as well as the authenticity of the person selling you the property.
