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 for sale 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.
