\u201cWe viewed apartment via FaceTime at 6 AM to catch good light\u201d – laughs Mr. Micha\u0142. With his wife they bought 65m\u00b2 in Grzeg\u00f3rzki without being in Poland once during entire process. Madness? Maybe. But increasingly common.<\/p>\n
In our agency 30% of clients are Poles from abroad. London, Dublin, Chicago. Returning or investing. Pandemic taught us to work remotely. Also in real estate purchase.<\/p>\n
The Kowalskis from Berlin searched for retirement apartment. Plan: return to Krakow in 5 years. \u201cWait? Prices rising, euro strong. We buy now\u201d – they decided.`<\/p>\n
Process took 3 months. They came only for finalization.<\/p>\n
How does it work? Technology plus trust. Virtual tours are standard. But we go further. 360-degree camera, live streaming, even drone for showing area. Client sees more than at normal viewing.<\/p>\n
Mrs. Anna from New York: \u201cI viewed 5 apartments virtually. At third I knew – this is it\u201d. We measured walls at her request, checked water pressure, recorded sounds at different times. \u201cI felt like I was there\u201d.<\/p>\n
Key: detailed documentation. Photos of every corner, video with sound, plans with dimensions. Mr. Tomasz from Oslo asked for film how long walk to tram stop is. We recorded with commentary.<\/p>\n
Technical inspection? No compromises here. We hire independent inspector. 30-page report, photos of every defect. Clients from Dublin resigned from apartment after report. \u201cBetter lose deposit than buy problem\u201d.<\/p>\n
Negotiations? Easier than in person. Lack of emotions during virtual viewing is advantage. The Szulcs from London negotiated 40 thousand discount. \u201cSeller didn\u2019t see our excitement\u201d – they admit.<\/p>\n
Documents? Notarial power of attorney. Polish consulates handle this. Or arrival only for finalization. Weekend in Krakow, signature at notary, keys in hand.<\/p>\n
Biggest challenge? Trust. That\u2019s why references crucial. 80% of our foreign clients are referrals. \u201cI bought apartment through you, didn\u2019t see you in person, but felt safer than with agency in London\u201d – client wrote.<\/p>\n
Is it worth it? The Wi\u015bniewskis bought 2 years ago from Ireland. Just moved in. \u201cBest decision. Apartment increased 20% in value, we have our place\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
