Hello, looking for a recommendation on area as well as a real estate agent helpful to new comers to the island. We have been combing through CL and Classificados looking for a place to live which connected us with a few realtors yesterday to view a few properties, and will be viewing more today. We just arrived to PR with bare essentials, would like furnished if possible to avoid purchasing all new household items... makes me miss the thrift stores back home. I have never expierenced living in an area where everything and everyone is behind bars, layers of bars in fact! Very different from the surrounding open farm grounds of Illinois where we left our keys in the car and the house unlocked. One agent wanted all our credit and finance history before we could even view a rental. They where very pushy on the fact we need to be pre-qualified for a mortgage to purchase and want us to sign a rent to buy agreement.... no thank you. Is this normal, can someone recommend an expat agent???
Thank you all
