Having dual citizenship is great, but people shouldn't try to change the culture of one country to fit their habits from another country.I have visited and lived many parts of the Americas, and had many friends who have done the same in Europe, and in every situation, if a citizen of the USA were to expect everything to be done in English and well as the native language of the country (though recognizing it is like this in most big cities - but definately not the smaller cities), then the native people would be outraged.If people want to immigrate to the USA, I have no problem with it, I would probably strive to do the same, but we shouldn't change our culture to fit someone else's (such as translating the our Natinal Anthem into Spanish - I was not a fan of that.)

When you are selling a home, exposure is absolutely crucial, so knowing how to obtain a fair amount of market exposure is vital and usually requires experience and internet savvy.

I wonder if perhaps this could be like some kind of bad habit.

If you have decent credit, it shouldn't be too much of an issue...providing the property is habitable and comps out.
