How To Find The Right Real Estate Agent In Cyprus
By Mark Vurnum
If you are looking to buy property overseas, the process can be
fraught with uncertainties and worries as you look for that dream
house in an area in which, to be frank, you're not all that familiar.
Here, Cyprus is no different. So, how do you go about finding the
right real estate agent in Cyprus?
First off, authorised real estate agents in Cyprus need to be both
licensed and registered. However, not speaking the same
language as you do, and having their fees paid for by the seller,
may give you serious cause to wonder whether they have your
best interests at heart or the seller's! If this is the case, then
your first port-of-call should be the Cyprus Real Estate Agents
Association ("Association"). While the Association may not be able
to give you conclusive evidence that your chosen real estate
agent is either the best or worst in the business, they should
speak English and should be able to give you some reassurance
towards calming your worries. Also, with the European
Confederation of Real Estate Agents trying to harmonise the
standards of real estate agents across Europe (which these days
includes Cyprus), the Association should be able to give you the
name of some reputable real estate agents in the area where you
are looking.
Besides checking the details of any real estate agent with the
Association, if you know anyone in Cyprus, you might also want to
ask them if they have any recommendations. In fairness, there is
rarely anything as good as a good recommendation given by
word-of-mouth.
Finally, if you are still in the UK looking for property in Cyprus
before you go, then the Internet has a wide selection of Cyprus
real estate agents advertising their wares. In most cases, the
sites also have a good selection of pictures of properties, which, if
nothing else, will give you some idea of the types of property that
the agent commonly deals with. But, keep in mind that although
many Brits do use the services of English-speaking real estate
agents they found on the Internet, the Internet itself is no
assurance that the real estate agent is going to be good - so if
you do find an agent this way, try to get testimony from someone
who has used them before or ask for proof that they're a member
of the Association.
