Zhao Yan was a man of action. He grabbed Zhao Gao and headed straight for the Official Real Estate Agency.
Real estate agencies were divided into official and private sectors. As the name implied, the Official Real Estate Agency belonged to the local government, while private agencies were run by individuals. The official agency primarily handled house sales and similar matters. Zhao Yan felt that, given his lack of local knowledge, going through an official channel was safer—especially since he was planning to purchase real estate.
Admittedly, private agencies were often cheaper, as the Official Real Estate Agency charged higher commission fees, which naturally drove up the prices. However, for the sake of security, Zhao Yan chose the more reputable Official Real Estate Agency. He didn't want to risk losing big over a few small savings; he had no desire to end up crying over spilt milk.
