Master the Legal Paperwork That Prevents Transactions From Collapsing After Handshake
Ko Min Khant is 30, based in Hlaing township, and had the best month of his career. He connected a buyer and seller for a house worth 2800 lakh. They agreed on price. They shook hands. Ko Min Khant celebrated — mentally spending his 56 lakh commission on clearing his family's debt. Then the buyer requested the documentation package. Ko Min Khant had never prepared one before. He asked the seller for the Grant, and the seller provided a photocopy. The buyer's lawyer asked for original Grant, tax payment receipts for the last five years, Form 105 and Form 106 from YCDC, the seller's NRC copy, electricity bill transfer documents, and household registration. Ko Min Khant scrambled. The seller did not have three of these documents. Getting them required two weeks and multiple township office visits. During that two weeks, the buyer found another property with a seller who had all documents ready. Ko Min Khant's deal collapsed. His 56 lakh commission evaporated because he did not know what paperwork a transaction requires BEFORE the handshake, not after.
