Should I rent in Tbilisi before buying property, and is it easier to rent through an agent?

Rent in Tbilisi and spend some time living there before committing to a purchase; it reduces the risk of buying in a location or country that does not suit you.

If you do not work remotely, plan the move particularly carefully: first test whether living and working in Tbilisi is practical, then decide on a property purchase.

Consider using a real-estate agent for a rental: according to the discussion, direct communication with owners can be more difficult than arranging a lease through an intermediary.
