There is an opinion that it is almost impossible to rent an apartment without intermediaries in a modern market. In many ways, this myth is supported by the competent marketing actions of the intermediaries themselves, who are usually called agencies today.
Is it really so, and is it really so difficult to rent an apartment in Minsk without intermediaries?
If you think carefully, you can conclude that such assurances are unreasonable. Intermediaries simply know how to work with established channels that contribute to the acceleration of the process, but the functioning of these channels does not depend on them. Therefore, it is enough to know how everything works.
The first way to outwit intermediaries is to read ads in newspapers. It is necessary to prepare in advance for the fact that 90 percent of the ads was prepared by intermediaries, but among these ads there will be the lessons themselves. Just gain patience and process each note. It will be better if you immediately specify who you are talking to, because some agents bring the client to the very meeting, where they lay out all their cards on the table, introducing you to the owner of the apartment.
The second way is to independently place an ad on which housing you intend to rent, how much you are ready to pay and which area you are interested in.
