1. Prepare your criteria and your file
Before you start, clearly define what you need: area, budget, size, floor, special requirements. Prepare all the necessary documents: photocopies of ID, proof of income, guarantee or deposit. This preparation safeguards your options and puts you ahead of other interested parties.
2. Utilize online tools and notifications
Choosing the right apps and websites makes a difference. Use search filters, activate notifications for new listings, and compare prices by area. Search for homes through social media groups and contact agents directly — speed of communication is key.
3. Schedule as many appointments as possible, on the same day
Fifteen minutes at each house and a few minutes for notes are enough to identify the positives and negatives. Many seekers sharing their experiences on forums say that a mass visit and immediate decision are more effective than spreading the process over weeks and months.
4. Request virtual tours
More and more owners or agents offer video calls or video walkthroughs of the house. This saves time, allows you to see many homes in a few hours, and decide which ones are worth visiting.
5. Check what is off market
Ask neighbors, building security, or even newsstands if they know of properties that are about to be listed for rent before they go online.
With organized preparation, use of online tools, notifications, and comparing many homes in one day, finding a residence can become… a sprint! Find your home today, smartly and quickly.
