Cyprus Real Estate Agent

 

A Cyprus real estate agent is possibly the best way to start your Cyprus property search. The problem however is finding the right one. Whilst most most Cyprus real estate agent companies are totally trustworthy and legit there will always be exceptions to the rule. With property being such a lucrative business it is sure to attract it's fair share of unscrupulous characters.

Fortunately the Cyprus real estate agent business is being tightened up by the Cypriot authorities and it is now illegal to offer the service without a license. This is great news for non residents who are looking to purchase a villa or apartment using a Cyprus real estate agent.

Beware however of the proliferation of online companies claiming to offer property for sale in Cyprus who are not in fact Cyprus real estate agent business at all. These people are just acting as middle men between the buyers and the property developers. At the same time they are picking up some juicy commission checks for their trouble.

Therefore the safest way is to use a Cyprus real estate agent that as been around for a long time (even before the boom) and who already has a working relationship with all the major Cyprus property developers. Such a company will be a fully licensed and legitimate Cyprus real estate agent.
