Part 7 (for part 1, please press here, for part 2, please press here, for part 3, please press here, for part 4, please press here for part 5, please press here, for part 6, please press here)  The “Metropolitan Bucharest” project, intravillant and extravillant issues       I can not recall it very clear, if the project was already announced, or if there were just pieces of it known by that time. I think it was public. I refer to the project of “Metropolitan Bucharest”. There was a map released, with several villages (and agricultural lands) around the city, which were supposed to form the [...]

  Part 6 (for part 1, please press here, for part 2, please press here, for part 3, please press here, for part 4, please press here for part 5, please press here)  The statue of the “frozen investor”       These words of mine caused a major problem to my… friends. I think that the third one who joined us last, had lands located at an even longer distance and he wanted us to visit them, while the others were telling him that I do not want to. He became very upset and a first round of quarrel started. They were fighting in front of me (ofcourse), my presence did not seem to disturb them. [...]

Part 5 (for part 1, please press here, for part 2, please press here, for part 3, please press here, for part 4, please press here)   “Buftea area, meaning Butimanu”       Buftea is located at approximately 16 kilometers from the city center of Bucharest. Not our destination… Until Crevedia the distance is 10 kilometers more… not where our “super opportunity” was located… yes, but… Crevedia is the “end of civilization” of the area, as after it you do not see any serious village for several kilometers… Then we reached the famous resort of… Lucianca (do not tell me it is not… [...]

Part 4 (for part 1, please press here, for part 2, please press here, for part 3, please press here)  Why should we allow to reality destroy such a nice story?       The agent who knew the property and gave it to the ladies (who gave it to me…) did not know that I am an agent too. The ladies told him that I am the client. I tried to explain to him, but he didn’t want to listen. Ok, then “why should we allow to reality to destroy such a nice story?” I thought and accepted that I would be the client that day, I did not really have any other option. The agent had a problem with his car, so [...]

Part 3 (for part 1, please press here, for part 2, please press here)  ”The Best opportunities! (but not for us ofcourse)”       The answer was simple. They said they were collaborating with many other agencies, but the truth was that they were simply copying from the internet any possible offer and presenting to their clients (or collaborators like me). If they would find someone to “fish”, then they were contacting the owner or agent, informing that they have a client and they wanted the papers and also a good commission from the deal. Hundreds, thousands of agents have survived like this [...]

Part 2 (for part 1, please press here)  Asian Bazaar…       After I was convinced that they are a big serious company, we entered in the part of business. If there would be a camera to record the discussion, I think it could be used in tv comic shows. Me talking in English with few Romanian words, them talking in Romanian with some English words, all of us using our hands and faces so as to try to be understood. And the “rain of opportunities” started…       “So you want lands around Bucharest with low prices, apartments and commercial spaces… I see…” one of the ladies summed [...]
