Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention discloses that rental property information, such as a rental building, is posted on a so-called homepage on the Internet, and that a user can search and browse these via a personal computer device, and furthermore that a rental contract can be made. What did
The present invention relates to a rental property search support system, such as a rental building, that enables a lessee to easily search for a new rental property over a wide range, and that a lessor can expect early completion of a rental contract.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in various corporations, it is common to make a rental contract for one room or one floor of a rental building to form a sales office or office. As a conventional system for searching for a rental property such as a rental building and making a rental contract, first, a lender and a borrower who own the rental property such as a rental building directly negotiate and conclude a rental contract. There is a system. Secondly, there is a system in which a real estate agent entrusted by the lender negotiates with the borrower, and the real estate agent negotiates a rental contract between the lender and the borrower.

[0003] In the first system, the lender itself performs an advertisement or the like regarding the rental property owned by the lender, and furthermore, if a borrower is found, the lender himself creates a rental contract. For this reason, the labor of the lender is complicated, and the second system, in which a real estate agent intervenes, is widespread.

[0004] The second system will be further described. The lender entrusts a lease contract for a rental property such as a rental building owned by the lender to a real estate agent. The entrusted real estate agent will carry out business activities so that a lease agreement can be concluded as soon as possible by displaying and advertising that the rental property is present in the office or the like. On the other hand, those who search for rental properties go to (the offices and the like) of these real estate agents or look at advertisements and the like to search for rental properties that are candidates. When the desired rental property is found, the lessee goes to a real estate agent and signs a lease after going through a procedure such as receiving a predetermined explanation.

[0005] The above-described example describes a case where a rental property is for a rental building for a corporation. However, even if the rental property is a rental warehouse, a rental shop, a rental housing for employees (so-called company house), etc. This is the same as for a rental building.

However, as described above, the first and second
Each system has the following problems to be solved. First, the first without the above real estate agent
In the case of the above system, as described above, since the lender performs all operations such as sales and contract writing, not only is labor required, it is also difficult to recruit borrowers from a wide range, is there.

Next, in the case of the second system in which a real estate agent intervenes, the rental property information is displayed in the office of the real estate agent, etc., and the person searching for the rental property searches various real estate agents until a desired property is found. A great deal of labor and time is spent, such as looking around these pieces of information.

That is, for the real estate agent, after all, it just waits for the visitor of the customer, and after being entrusted by the lender, it takes time for the borrower to appear and conclude the rental contract, and the excellent borrower from a wide range. Can not find out.
On the other hand, a person who seeks a rental property needs to visit a large number of real estate agents, which requires a great deal of labor. Moreover, even with all that effort, you don't always find the property you want.

[0009] When a lender who owns a rental property such as a rental building entrusts a rental contract for the rental property to a real estate agent, there are two types of mediation, a full-time mediator (full-time consignment) and a general mediator. In the above-mentioned full-time broker, the lender entrusts only one real estate agent to establish a rental contract. On the other hand, the general mediator entrusts a plurality of real estate agents to conclude the rental contract. For any of these consignments, the lender pays a consignment fee to each real estate agent.

[0010] Further, the real estate agent can obtain a success fee from the lender by establishing a rental contract. In other words, if the rental contract is not concluded, no success fee will be paid. Therefore, in the case of the above-mentioned general intermediary, even if one real estate agent concentrates on advertising and sales, if another real estate agent concludes a rental contract, the one real estate agent does not receive a success fee. For this reason, as a real estate agent, only the above-mentioned dedicated agency tends to focus on sales.

[0011] Under the circumstances described above, when a general intermediary contract is made, the fees paid to each real estate company increase, and the transaction between the lender and each real estate agent becomes complicated. I will. In addition, the lessee still has a business practice of paying a commission to a real estate agent when the rental contract is concluded. This fee is generally rented for one month or more. In the case of the above-mentioned general intermediaries, it is inevitable that rents will be set slightly in each real estate agent, and therefore, the fees on the borrower will be high and low, which is disadvantageous for the borrower. On the other hand, in the case of a full-time broker, the fee on the lender side and the fee on the borrower side do not increase and the transaction is not complicated, but it is difficult to recruit borrowers from a wide range.

In order to solve the above-mentioned inconveniences, various search systems have recently been considered. As one example, it has become popular to publish monthly or weekly magazines that list rental properties. By publishing such an information magazine in which such rental property information is published, real estate agents can find borrowers from a wide range. In addition, those who look for a rental building do not need to visit a large number of real estate agents, thereby reducing labor.

Further, as another example of the search system,
Each real estate agent builds a so-called homepage on its own,
It is conceivable that a person who accesses this homepage via the Internet can view the rental property posted on this homepage. When such a homepage is used, a person searching for a rental property can search for a rental property while staying at a company, home, or the like.

[0014]

However, when using the above-mentioned information magazines in which the rental property information is published, the rental properties are published in these information magazines, and further, until these information magazines are actually lined up at bookstores or the like. For a relatively long period of time (for example,
It takes one month), so it is often faster to sign a rental contract at the office of a real estate agent. Also,
For those looking for a rental property, even if a property that meets your wishes is listed, it may already be contracted before the publication of the information magazine. In such a case, the person searching for a rental property must wait until the next week or month when the next issue of this information magazine is issued.

On the other hand, when searching for a rental property by accessing the above homepage, only the rental properties handled by the real estate agent are listed, and the number of properties is small. In particular, real estate agents tend to list exclusive-use rental properties with priority over general-intermediate rental properties.Furthermore, the websites of individual real estate agents mainly list properties for sale rather than rental properties. Therefore, the absolute number of rental properties posted on the website is small, and the desired rental property cannot be found in many cases.

[0016] Further, for a person who seeks a rental property, the information regarding real estate sales as described above is unnecessary. As a lessee's consciousness, there has been a request to view only information about rental properties such as rental buildings.

Also, as can be said for both the search system for the information magazine and the search system for the homepage, the rental property information posted on the information magazine or the homepage is provided to the person searching for the rental property. It is a one-way communication. For this reason, if there is a rental property that you wish to find among these listed rental properties, the person searching for the rental property should contact the real estate agent handling this rental property by telephone, fax, e-mail, etc. You will need to contact us for more information or to inform you that you are willing to sign a lease. In addition, the fee paid by the lessee to the real estate agent when the rental contract is concluded remains the same as the monthly rental fee, so the economic burden on the lessee is large, and the emergence of a system that can reduce this burden has been awaited.

A rental property search support system for a rental building or the like according to the present invention has been devised in view of the above circumstances.

[0019]

Exchange books.

With the establishment of the rental contract, the lessee pays a commission to the intermediary for the conclusion of the rental contract.
In the case of the rental property search support system for a rental building or the like according to the present invention, this fee is set to a predetermined flat rate lower than the monthly rental rate of the rental property, for example, 3
It is 10,000 yen. Therefore, the burden on the borrower is reduced.

[0024] In addition, a fixed amount of commission is charged to the intermediary agent if a lease contract is established, whether it is a dedicated intermediary or a general intermediary. From the viewpoint of this broker, the advertising expenses for rental properties are a small amount, such as the expenses incurred when storing information about rental properties in the database according to a predetermined format, etc. Does not come out. Further, the broker can store the property with the exclusive brokerage contract and the property with the general brokerage contract in the above information disclosure means without discrimination, so that the user can search from more rental properties. Become like Also,
The lessor can expect that the rental contract will be concluded sooner. In this way, both the lender and the borrower can benefit.
