Indeed, newspaper ads and thematic online resources are full of ads on the sale and purchase of apartments, rooms, houses, as well as other types of premises. But at the conclusion of a transaction with the owner directly, you run the risk of remaining without your material assets and the desired real estate.

Therefore, to conclude a deal without an intermediary makes sense only if you cooperate with someone from good acquaintances or relatives.
