Dear Simon,
I have good news for you! I have been looking in the listings for the last two months without any success but then a friend of mine suggested me to go directly to a real estate agent… I have found three places which you may be interested in: a flat, a small house and a big one. The flat is the cheapest and it’s nearest the centre of town. But I can’t say that it’s an advantage- the center is dirty and dangerous. The flat is more modern than the others but unfortunately it’s the noisiest. The small house is a typical ranch-house. It’s simply elongated one-story house made of wood and it’s really cozy. This house is more expensive than the flat but less expensive than the big house. It’s farther away from the centre of town than the flat and the area is quieter. It’s the oldest from all. I spotted a good private school there and an acre is considered to be quite nice. If you feel like keeping up with the Joneses buy the big house. It’s the Spanish style house with red roof and arches. It’s the most expensive of all, and it’s also the farthest from the city. I guess it’s not a problem for you because you get used to commute. It’s bigger than the others and it’s much quieter. It’s also newer than the small house but older than the flat, and it’s in the most beautiful area of all. The lot here is big enough. You’d better come and see yourself. I advise you to take out a loan from a bank as soon as you can. The bottom line is: the longer you wait-the higher prices are. Take care.
Yours, Andy.

Why are the Present perfect continuous tense used here? Maybe the Past perfect continuous tense should be used instead?
(like I had been looking in the listings for the last two months without any success but then a friend of mine suggested me to go directly to a real estate agent… )???? :?
also, can I say "I had been looking in the listings for the last two months without any success when a friend of mine suggested me to go directly to a real estate agent… " instead of that sentence??? :?

This works, but it's kind of a run-on sentence in my opinion. I would suggest something like:
I'd looked in the for two months, but without any success. A friend of mine advised me to go directly to a real estate agent.
OR:
I had been looking in the listings for two months when a friend suggested that I go directly to a real estate agent.
