Hello everyone,
I spent some time on your website and decided you may help.
Have you ever heard of Bulgaria before? Its a small country in Eastern Europe that is currently well known by the name "the New Spain".It is so, as it offers its tourists wide range of attractions, wonderful sea resorts, beautiful winter Ski areas... What can I say else, its a paradise to me and I tend to like it more and more each day.
I am currently an area manager of a real estate agency in Bulgaria. The Bulgarian market of real estate is blossoming now, the prices went up with more than 20 % the previous year, expected to rise even more the following one.
We are growing constantly as a company and need new agents we could work with overseas. That is why we started working with some UK and Spanish network of agencies. We sell quite well, nailing 85% of the IFs we have got.

The area I work with is SEASIDE area, Golf courses, yacht marinas... you know . You could buy a 3 bedrooms house for about 90000 dollars with a sea view or invest in an appartment complex in a prime tourist location, paying 75000 for a flat - 1 bed. And it will change, I can tell... Bulgaria is joining the EU in 2007 and the prices will jump even more!

My issue in the moment is finding new agents we could work with. I, myself have never ever done that...Recruiting new overseas partners, I mean. Could you give me advice? Which is the best way to do that, how do you do it yourself?! The president of our company has turned to me for solving this issue. I am looking for UK agents now, as Brits flood Bulgaria, seeking to buy a property.

Would you think that people from USA would be interested as well!? I work locally with a company that does Property Management and their vice director is a US businessman. I believe that lots of people from the US would find Bulgaria fascinating and enchanting, as I did myself.

I will wait for a feedback on this one.

I'd reach out to marketing directors of major real estate companies like Coldwell Banker, Century 21, Keller Williams, Weichert, and the like. Contact them at the corporate level. See if they're interested. Other than that, maybe look for agents who deal with foreign national buyers here in the US, and those that deal with American investors. They might have enough contacts to make it worth their while.

Take care.

For all of you who are wondering, a flat is a condo

Europe is a bit far from the US, especially Bulgaria which is on the far side of Europe. I'm originally from the UK and thats a 11-18 hour flight. Factor in that most Americans don't even own a passport and it may be a tough nut to crack.

Why not check out any exhibitions that may go on. I know when i was in London there was a foreign home exhibition over at Alexandra Palace in north London where people would go to check out homes in Spain etc. Might be worth a try.

As a matter of fact Bulgaria now is realy a gold mine for the real estate investors. If you thinjk that me and the company I work for may help you with anything - just information maybe, just let me know. Tell us your Ideas for investment and I will tell you I we can mutualy profit from them??

I am an agent in Missouri.....I am moving to England in September! I have been looking for contacts for mths now....I would love to help you and help myself! My personal e-mail is cars1979s@yahoo.com if you would like to talk a little bit more about this.....thanks
