OK, Heres an idea in terms of how the entire process can work.
Lets say for example that this is a player run operation with GM support.
Scenario A
So say Veno wants to build a custom house and try to sell his design. He is not affiliated with the real estate agency (lets call it [BREO] ). Veno goes down to one of the BREO offices, and purchases and Custom House Deed for X (lets say 30k) amount of gold. Veno then goes to create his house.
2 days later, Veno come back with his completed house deed and gives it to a [BREO] agent. He takes the deed and tell him he will contact him within a few days. The job of the agents are to decide if the house if worthy of approval, and determine what the retail value of the house is (Retail isnt the cost to build, we must incorporate the cost to sell, commission (this will all be a standard number to ensure there is no greed involved). So say the Retail value of the house is determined to be 200k. We tell veno to come to the [BREO] office to discuss things further. Now this is where things could get a little different. Say [BREO] can offer two things. A) they can buy the right to the property for a flat price to resell, or B) Veno can take a commission in the sale of the house.
I think there should be an asking price for the house, which of course can be bartered down by the buyer (as in real life). Its up to agent (if the price is too low, he'll take a commission loss, but if he wont budge he may lose the sale).
It might be kinda cool if there were maybe 2 agencies so that there could be some competetion (maybe even one chaos, one order lol).
The deeds can maybe then be renamed to describe the building (ie 3 storey stone tower 4 rooms), and they would all be on display in the office. Perhaps a real estate sub forums can be created where [BREO] members could post pics and asking price, details, etc.
The agent who is approached or maybe recommended for good work in the past would take the deed (which should be newbied in these cases) and would go to an empty spot to show the player the home, and basically try to sell the home by listing advantages. The house would then be redeeded and the buyer would have a day or so to decide.
Ill probably think of more stuff and post it later, work is building up cuz im doing this instead :p
