There are many foreigners! Residents question: Why can real estate agents enter the community?
"Although our community is a bit old, the environment has always been clean and suitable for living. Why do we open a real estate agency?"
Since September this year, the opening of a "Lianjia" store has added a lot of troubles to Ms. Zhang, who lives in Kangle Community in Xuhui District. Seeing that the intermediary service personnel and the clients who came to inquire were entering and exiting the community unimpeded every day, Ms. Zhang was helpless and had no choice but to seek help from the Jiefang Daily·Shangguan News message board: Is it reasonable for a real estate agency to operate in a community?
Before that, none of the residents in Kangle Community knew the next use of this store. It was not until the "Lianjia" store sign hung up the glass door that everyone saw the clues from the decoration: without knowing it, , residents actually want to be neighbors with real estate agents!
The store that faced complaints is located in Kangle Community in Xuhui District. Go south along the north gate of the community on Qinzhou South Road, bypass the central garden, and then pass through a large open black iron gate, and you will see the "Lianjia" real estate agency with the house number 45. Adjacent to it are the Kangle Community Residents Committee and two kindergartens. The four words "No Occupation" on the ground at the entrance of the store also mark the important position of this place as a fire escape for the community.
At noon, when the reporter came to the store, he noticed that there were intermediary service personnel wearing black suits and uniforms driving electric bicycles back and forth. Inside the store, a staff member was also busy communicating with customers.
"It's always unsettling to have a real estate agency in the community." Ms. Zhang, a resident of the community, said frankly about her worries. Due to the particularity of intermediary work, the flow of people it brings is actually very large. In addition to the intermediary’s own staff, it also involves customers outside the community. “Diagonally opposite the real estate agency is the kindergarten, which is open during the morning and evening school hours. There are so many people on the bus, and the mix of outsiders brought by the agency brings certain safety risks to the children." In addition, Ms. Zhang recalled that when "Lianjia" just opened in September, the staff also parked electric bicycles. The store entrance, coupled with the billboards and roll-up banners placed outside the store, affects the smooth flow of fire escapes.

Ms. Zhang wonders, is it legal to open a commercial intermediary company in a community?
Residents call for prior communication and the establishment of a long-term mechanism
In response to the residents' doubts, the reporter asked the Kangle Community Residents Committee about the opening of an intermediary company. According to the relevant person in charge, when it was discovered that "Lianjia" was about to open, the neighborhood committee had already worked with the property management company and relevant staff of Kangjian Street where the community is located to understand the situation on the spot. "At that time, we checked the business license, rental contract, etc. of 'Lianjia', and confirmed that the shop was indeed commercial in nature and that all procedures were in compliance with regulations." The relevant person in charge of the neighborhood committee told reporters, "But in order to resolve the residents' concerns, Troubled, all parties also made suggestions for the subsequent daily operations and management of the intermediary company.”
△The "Management Commitment Letter" signed by the staff of the "Lianjia" Kangle Community Community Store.
It is understood that the current "Lianjia" Kangle Community Store has signed a "Management Commitment Letter". It states that the service scope of the community store will focus on the housing replacement and rental needs in the community, while providing residents with convenient services such as emergency printing and free drinking water. In response to the issues that residents are most concerned about, such as high mobility of people and occupying fire escapes, "Lianjia" has also made a commitment to fix the staff of the store and ensure that non-motorized vehicles are not parked outside and customer vehicles are not allowed to enter the community. "We hope to become 'good neighbors' with the residents," Lianjia said that it will actively cooperate with the various needs of neighborhood committees and community residents.
However, many residents still maintain a wait-and-see attitude towards this "new neighbor" in the community. "We hope that when similar commercial shops enter the community, they can obtain the consent of residents in advance, and establish an effective long-term management mechanism after the official opening," said resident Aunt Ma.
