‘It can hardly get any worse’ – was a thought shared by Max and Greg, founders of the EuroCity Estate, when they heard a story their friend told them back in 2002. One wouldn’t expect the foreign property purchase to be such a nightmare, and so expensive. Six international flights (two happened to be completely pointless) to sign documents and secure the apartment purchase – not really a dream holiday either.
Having been private real estate investment consultants for some years before the event, it was just a matter of time before Max and Greg came to the decision there was actually something that can and should be done about it. They both realised that their experience and links with experts (layers, financial institutions) created over the years in Poland and eastern Europe, can be very helpful to many investors.

Not everyone can afford a dedicated wealth management service, but one should realise that even fewer can afford their wealth not to be managed. Understanding this and willing to provide a service as easy, as user friendly, and as transparent as your ordinary apple purchase at local grocery store, EuroCity Estate was founded.
There is of course a difference, which can’t be overlooked – you don’t buy thousands of pounds worth of apples every day. When the topic is real estate, you have to be conscientious and well informed to invest your clients’ money well.

The decision of the company’s founders was that the service provided won’t stop short of delivering all the information in a form that will give pleasure, rather than a headache, and make the whole process informative, reassuring and safe. And it has turned out to be a success factor, as their customers will be more than happy to confirm.

It has become paramount in EuroCity Estate’s business philosophy.
EuroCity Estate offers commercial and residential properties for sale in Poland and other countries. They can provide investors with opportunities in cities like Gdansk, Krakow, Poznan, Warsaw, Wroclaw and pretty much any other location. Whether an investor is looking for one apartment with rental arrangements or a piece of land for development or an office block, they will be able to provide a complete investment service.

Comprehensive support
Their policy is to give as much support in the investment process as possible.

From initial offering or finding a particular property, through legal process, refurbishment or development, until finding tenants and long term management. This is why they minimise clients’ involvement and costs without minimising benefits.
The company’s local staff makes sure the little details like correct carpet or tiles are delivered, the paperwork ready and all permits in place. They will go even further, by helping setting up overseas bank accounts, ensuring the utilities are connected and translating documents where necessary.
Getting the paperwork right is key in this fast-moving market where a good offer typically will only remain on the table for a few days.

EuroCity Estate is able to sign the contracts with the vendor on the client’s behalf without their direct involvement.
Max Idzik says: “As it has always been one of our business principles, we are offering a lot more than just being an estate agent. We noticed many customers were looking for a partner to explain the market, provide local expertise – not merely sell a property. While we will stay experts for the Polish market, for any property transaction abroad we are acting on behalf of the client not vendor, and again, we want to give a complete service, whenever necessary”.
