Last week on 23rd of September, 2010 I gave an interview for Curierul National where I spoke about the real estate trend as well as about foreclosures . Please see below this interview. Author: Diana States The trend started in 2010 and will increase in 2011Although the requested prices are high, the transactions performed are made at levels ranging close to those of foreclosures Papageorgiadis: The sector will remain “frozen” because too many are trying to keep up the artificial prices In 2010 the real estate market is still a blocked one, and we can see that, it is a less dynamic sector, [...]
[relevant-to-adsense]Romania: A… “renovated restaurant”
This article was published on Insight Tarom Magazine and on 26.01.2010 on the blog Let us compare investing into Real Estate with eating at a “restaurant”. After Romania left Communism behind, the venue was like an old, abandoned communistic “place to eat”. Things improved, but really slowly. Only at the dawn of the new century the improvements started being noticeable, attracting more clients. So we could eat here, being sure that we will not be poisoned (lose our capital). While the country was moving forward, the connection to European Union boosted the interest of people (similar to say that [...]
[relevant-to-adsense]The perfect trick: “1 golden coin for 1 coat”
This article was published on 18.05.2010 100 years ago, there was a town. Commerce was going well and everything was normal until one Monday during September someone new in the city appeared at the central square and announced: “Whoever brings me one coat, I will pay him with 1 golden coin”.

The unknown man paid them, 1 golden coin for each coat. The whole town started discussing about this. 50 coats were sold… [...]

The fish in the box
Filed Under: Uncategorized on Sep 23, 2010 @ 7:07 AM
A Real Estate trick we are always ready to pretend that we don’t know… (part 2, to read part 1, please press here) Viorel sat down at his home. What had he bought? A dorada fish in a box… some photos and some measurements… “Isn’t it too much for just a fish, which is already about 2 months old?” his wife Anca asked. “No, you don’t know about investments” he replied. He searched and found some “super duper wow bow exclusive” intermediars… guys who had “relations to people with money and they just discuss with them for super offers”. He gave the mandate to sell the fish to all them… [...]

A Real Estate trick we are always ready to pretend that we don’t know… Part 1 One day Ion had 50 Euro available. He was hungry and went to the market. There he chose a nice fish, a dorada (let us assume). He shot photos of it, measured its weight and size and then put it in a box. He went back to his home, but he did not eat it. He watched the news and heard that “too many people seem to be interested in eating Dorada fishes and prices increased since the morning”. This is why he remained hungry and waited to see what will happen. In 3 days Tudor knocked at his door: “Ion, I saw you few [...]
[relevant-to-adsense]Romanian Real Estate market:Why 2011 will be much more difficult than 2010…
(Part 2, to read part 1, please press here) Yesterday (Romanian Real Estate market: Why 2011 will be much more difficult than 2010…): Deny the truth = delay the solution of our problems… The new prediction: The crisis ends in 2011 The main reasons why 2011 will be more difficult than 2010 1. Foreign Direct Investments are down = nothing better to expect in the near future. 2. Exports are weak, except Dacia, Nokia and few more companies 3. Banks are blocked and under attack Most of the banks in Romania are blocked nowadays. Either they don’t lend at all, or they lend only [...]
[relevant-to-adsense]Romanian Real Estate market: Why 2011 will be much more difficult than 2010… (Part 1)
Since the beginning of the world economic crisis, I noticed the following approach of Romanian society (politicians, media and people) towards the problems: • In the beginning they tried to deny the truth. “There is no problem, we are protected” etc. • Then they said that there is no major problem. “We will solve the issues without many difficulties”. • After that, they started announcing dates, after which the market would start growing again. • These dates kept being changed, from “Easter” to “summer’, then “after summer”, then “after Christmas” and again “after Easter”… • Meanwhile, [...]

Few days ago, on Tuesday, I had presented to you an interview of Mr Gavin Ryan, an expert in Private Equity and Venture Capital Funds. As far as I understood from your feedback, this subject was really interesting for you, as the official information about this segment is really limited. This is why I decided to address to Mr Ryan again, summing some of your questions and adding some new ones. This domain is really interesting and I think that it worths to know ...
