Integration of credit intermediation with property mediation
Credit intermediation is today an indispensable ally for any real estate agent who wants to provide a complete, efficient and truly customer-oriented service. More than technical support, the credit intermediary has become a strategic partner throughout the entire property purchase process.
Anyone who has followed the real estate market for several decades will clearly remember the opening up of housing credit in the 1990s. It was a period of strong democratisation of access to home ownership, in which the main objective was simple: to know whether the loan was approved and what the monthly instalment would be. Interest rates, terms or financial frameworks were often secondary concerns.
At the time, it was common for the real estate agent themselves to help the client handle the credit process, even without specific training. Experience was gained on the ground, often with the direct support of banks, whose main objective was to grant as much credit as possible. Approval rates were high and restrictions were limited, which allowed many families to fulfil the dream of owning their own home.
The evolution of the market and the role of the credit intermediary
Over the years, the market has become more demanding, more regulated and more complex. From 2014 onwards, with the progressive increase in property prices and, more recently, with the rise in interest rates to control inflation, the importance of specialised financial advice became evident.
It is in this context that credit intermediation takes on a crucial role in property mediation. A good intermediary helps to find solutions tailored to each profile, negotiates conditions, explains scenarios and guides clients towards more balanced and sustainable decisions.
Today, a real estate agency that does not integrate a credit intermediary is, in practice, offering a lower-value service. This often results in wasted time, longer processes and less informed decisions, both for the buyer and the seller.
