Momentum, the real estate profession is concerned about the housing crisis and sometimes face discrimination prospective tenants. Fnaim took its congress in December 2005 to sign an agreement with the Halde and publish a code of ethics and professional conduct.
When there are cranes everywhere, all occupations and professionals are getting better. " In its way, Jean-Louis Borloo accept the old slogan: "When the building goes, everything goes." Before the National Federation of Estate Agents (Fnaim) held a congress in Paris on 12 and December 13, Minister for Employment, Social Cohesion and especially in this case, Housing, welcomed the building boom: "This year, we broke the record with more than 400,000 homes while France n 'built into that 270, 000, seven years ago. " This growth, which benefits the real estate agents, is welcome because "the housing crisis is extremely serious in France. It is outrageous given the country's wealth and size of the territory, "says the Minister. Estate agents, usually quick to welcome the health of their profession can not ignore the situation. "Too many of our citizens face difficulties in finding a roof, "says Rene Pallincourt, president of the Fnaim. However, he adds immediately, in an allusion to the decision of some municipalities to exercise their right of first refusal when the amount of sales exceeds a limit, we must not yield to "interventionist measures, such as rent freeze or prohibition of sale. "
There is only one housing market, say real estate agents, and not a market for the sale opposite to the rental market, or a private sector subject to changing prices and market share still. "The challenges of social housing spill over the private," says Rene Pallincourt, advocating for the "fluidity" of the market. Thus, the development of homeownership is it a "good thing" for the profession as this "get out the most creditworthy of the rental market." Moreover, he continues, "if the park office retains become creditworthy tenants for private, it comes at the expense of prospective tenants knowing, them real problems."
Realtors know that when the market is experiencing stress, they are not necessarily loved by the public. "When there is a crisis, they needed a scapegoat," says Jean-Louis Borloo.
Realtors, "scapegoat"
Pallincourt Rene defends himself: "60% of private landlords are individuals with only one rental accommodation," he says. Thus, the "unpaid for them is a serious threat" that "leads to too strict selection of tenants, that selection is then wrongly blame the owners or their agents." From his point of view, this is not the fault of the realtors if prospective tenants are subjected to increasing demands from donors.
Realtors have nevertheless decided to make efforts. Eric Hanot, rapporteur of the conference a workshop devoted to the reception in the agencies, reminded his colleagues that "we must be happy when a customer pushes the door, turn to him and honestly identify not just the fees." Above all, the benefits Fnaim its convention to unveil its new "code of ethics and professional conduct" by the Federation voted "unanimously with a voice."
The document, which obliges all members of the Fnaim contains some principles expected, as "respect for the reputation of the profession and its ethical rules," the "privacy" or "involvement collaborators. " But it is the non-discrimination principle enshrined in this code, that professionals like to highlight. While its design was begun in spring 2004, the code is released timely, a few weeks after the urban riots recalled vividly the existence of ethnic discrimination. "I never thought that the news we serve with such abundance," says Rene Pallincourt.
The profession also benefits from its conference to announce the signing an "agreement" with the High Authority against Discrimination and for Equality (Halde). Fnaim committed and to educate its members, organize training sessions and to define "best practices" designed to "prevent discriminatory behavior."
As for ethics, he said that, faithful "to the law and regulations," the officer Fnaim "never applies to discrimination vis-à-vis individuals because of their origin, their sex, marital status, etc.. The document itself does not constitute a revolution. "I thought it already existed," say several real estate agents also invited to testify before their peers. Olivier
