Being new to a country can be mind-blowing and having no idea where to start.

Real estate portals have plenty of properties listings and all is looking very good but there are just too many choices.
You may think that the journey of home search with these beautiful listings will be very exciting. BUT… the truth is, most of these are not genuine advertisements.
