\n\tPart 1<\/b>\n<\/p>\n \n\tMany people doubt about the work of a Real Estate consultant. They do not realize that a serious one works endless hours, tries to bring in balance many different factors and in the end he reaches the result (which will pay him) only in 20 – 30% of the cases he gets involved. This is even clearer here in Romania, where the owners who have "opportunities" for sale usually do not have their papers in order, or many of them simply have absolutely no idea about business, Real Estate and properties. They want money and they want it now. While the clients have their own approach too…<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\t"Romania, a beautiful country…"<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \n\tThe gypsy lady across the table was teaching me… "Romania, a beautiful country with nice, intelligent and serious people. If you invest here, you will make a lot of money, you will change your luck, your destiny! And this property that you want…" "… I don't want, I just ask to find out more details" (I tried to correct, but…) "…is a very good property. The best one in this city. The owners are nice people, serious, devoted to their families. They have children, they work and produce money for the society". I guess she had realized that I was just learning Romanian by myself and she wanted to increase my ability to understand… her "sweet" Moldavian accent. This is why she refused to wait the translator to translate…\n<\/p>\n \n\t"All the papers are ready" = unidentified language and a cross under it<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \n\tIt took me 60 days to find the property. It was excellent, but there were 9 owners – families involved. Some of them belonging to the gypsy community, some of them not. There was this lady who represented them and she presented to me empowerments by all of them, so as to discuss with me. "All the papers are ready" she screamed, happy. And handed to me one of the empowerments. I asked to see the rest too, I thought there was a mistake. But all of them were like this… Some papers with a text close to the ancient Greek "Grammiki A" language, still unidentified by scientists, and a cross down representing the signature. "We can go and sign any time you like, "you Greek" (Grecule).\n<\/p>\n \n\tTransforming the mess into "property ready to be sold"<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \n\tI needed almost 6 months to finish with the papers and transform this "raw piece of land" with 17 missing documents, potential legal problems and inexistent urbanistic parameters into a property with its file complete, new approved initial building parameters, without any problem at all. My colleague in charge of the procedure was really proud to hear the notar saying "incredible, you really cleaned up this mess!". A notary, a lawyer and an architect verified that now this property was ready to be sold…\n<\/p>\n \n\tThe… committee of owners accepted our offer<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \n\tMany people find clients even for properties without any document at all. So for an excellent asset, located at a strategic point of the city and with all its papers ready, it was not so difficult for me to find several ones. The client who really wanted to move on was the one who finally stepped in the café, together with me. He happened to be also Greek. He asked to meet all the owners and I think that it was a pity we didn't take a picture, to remember the moment, this… spectacle. I would like to show to my… children the photo with my client, my colleague (translating) and me having across the table about 45 – 50 people. Men, women, children, older, younger… a "committee" of owners! When my client asked them with who he should deal with so as to finalize the investment, a… hollow sound was heard. All of them informed us that they trust the lady to represent them, each of them using his own arguments, which I did not really manage to follow. But there was no problem. The price was set, the deal was ready to be signed…\n<\/p>\n \n\tTomorrow: <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \n\t"What is this? A bank note of 5 millions? These are Satan's things"<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \n\t"I count only up to 20" "Then how will you count 280.000 euro?"<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \n\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Part 1 to read part 2, click here to read part 3, click here Many people doubt about the work of a Real Estate consultant.
