We have a two week scouting trip planned for next month and will be spending the first week in a hotel in Montevideo and the second week in a rental condo.
We have been to Uruguay multiple times on vacation but this time we want to focus on making a decision about whether we could really live there.
My question has to do with with real estate agents and whether it is reasonable to ask for an agent to take us to look at properties in various areas when we know we are not at the point of being a serious buyer.
At this point we aren’t even sure if we want to move to Uruguay let alone whether we’d want an apartment on the coast or a more rural place inland.
Do agents do this for free or for some sort of compensation? Do they resent you for taking up their time when we know we aren’t ready?
I’ve seen some relocation consultants that have scouting packages but they seem very expensive.
We need education, I guess, but I don’t want to be “that person”.
Thoughts?
