The answer is (the real estate consultant )! But who is the real estate consultant , how do I choose him and how do I know him?!

Third: Honesty and clarity in dealing and working with the client: the clear and frank real estate advisor in all his steps strengthens the resolve of the investor and provides him with comfort and an atmosphere of safety in dealing and working
Fourth. Accuracy and speed in implementation and results: Your real estate consultant is the one who knows the real estate market as well as memorizes the features of his face. He is a person who is able to give the client all the clarifications about real estate prices and the best and most suitable places based on the client’s situation and need, and he is an experienced person who is able to guide the client to what is best for him. In his future calculations to put the property in the coming days, according to the client's need and ambition
Fifthly. Communicating with former clients and knowing their impression of the real estate consultant that you are considering dealing with. Social networking sites may have a major role in revealing some of what the client aspires to know through the comments sent by previous clients and reading between the lines has a major role in revealing the ambiguous and the absent. .
Finally, the person is wise himself, and meeting and dealing with the real estate consultant may have a great role in clarifying how to deal in the future through the convenience of dealing or not

Security clearance and military zones: what a foreign buyer needs to know
Foreigners cannot own property inside restricted military zones and security zones, and the law also sets a cap on foreign ownership in each administrative district and a maximum per person. In provinces where these zones have been officially mapped, a property’s status is known immediately; elsewhere, the tapu (land registry) directorate makes an enquiry to the relevant military authority, which can add time to the transaction. Find out the property’s status early, and do not pay large sums before you are sure.
