Rustico. I will just cut and paste my response to a similar question on the first thread I put in about my move down there:
“Lets see, my wife and I have 3 kids, then we want 3 more, my dad will be living with us, and possibly my wife’s grandmother, my wife’s family lives within an hour and will be over A LOT, that is parents and 8 brothers and sisters, dozens of cousins, and 9 uncles/aunts. Put it this way, our leading candidates so far have guest houses, and one of them has 2 guest houses!”
My agent is less experienced than probably one typically uses for homes in the $3-$4.5 million range, but that is why I picked her. She is hungry and has not become a snob yet. Unlike the selling agents in some homes we have seen, she is actually very nice and friendly and does not treat us like she is doing us a favor showing a house we want to buy from which she stands to make a six figure commission.
