20 Mar | Home Searches in Italy and Why Internet is Not Your Friend!
One may think that when carrying out a home search in Italy with so much information available via the Internet – why would you need to use a relocation specialist?
The answer is simple! The amount of information is vast, but unreliable: many links are no longer valid, websites are not updated regularly, and sometimes, in fact, there seems to be such a large amount of information that it is hard to tell what is useful and valid.
The key for a successful home search is to know what to ignore and what to select. However to be able to go choose wisely, you need to have access to accurate local knowledge. Without this knowledge, determining the quality of the properties and the reliability of the realtors can become a risky business.
In fact, most of the information available through various internet sources – related to properties for rent – is incorrect or misleading. Many properties very often are no longer available and some may not accurately reflect the description & pictures displayed in the advertisement.
When you engage the services of a relocation specialist, they will deploy their local knowledge and reach out to their trusted networks in order to look for the best possible solution for your home search. Italy has a very complicated housing market so it really makes sense to work with the people who have your best interest at heart!
