Arranging property visits
by Nicolas Aguero
The best way to buy property may be to rent in an area for several months and use the time to view properties with a selection of local agents. Doing so gives you a good feel for the market, increases the number of properties you can view, and removes the pressure to make a quick decision that people on flying visits have to cope with.
Due to personal circumstances and time constraints, however, many people cannot afford to rent before buying and have to make do with flying visits. In this case it is important to plan each and every visit carefully (you may need several visits before you find the right property) to ensure that your time is well spent.
Some real estate companies such as
January First Real Estate offer an airline ticket & booking service. Once you have decided the country or countries you wish to visit for property inspection trips, their staff will deal with the bookings and connections so that you can make the most out of your trip before deciding to buy. You only need to let them know when would you like to travel, what is your travel budget and which are your preferences and they will arrange your trip and stay on your Latin American destination through their network and local contacts.
