Why Work with Us? Your Real Estate Agent in Batumi

No, you can buy directly from a developer. But a good agent costs you nothing in Batumi, because the developer pays the commission, and it gives you someone on your side: a comparison of projects from different developers, checks on the land, permit and contract, help choosing the best unit, and support with renovation, rentals and residency after you buy. A developer’s sales team only sells its own projects.

Usually not. Developers sell at the same official price whether you come directly or through an agent, because the agent’s commission comes from their marketing budget. Buying through us, you pay that same price, and we often negotiate an extra discount, better payment terms or a better unit than you would get alone. If you ever find the same unit cheaper directly, tell us.

In new projects, the developer does. We are paid a commission by the developer when you buy, so our service costs you nothing and nothing is added to the price. We say this openly because it matters: it is why we only recommend developers we would buy from ourselves, and why we tell you about a project’s risks even when it costs us a sale.

We check the developer’s finished buildings and delivery record, the land and construction permit in the Public Registry, the contract and payment terms, the price per square metre against similar projects, and how easy the units will be to rent and resell. Many projects don’t pass, and we don’t offer them. Our team owns apartments in Batumi too, so we judge projects as investors.

We start with the developer: finished buildings, a construction site that is moving and contracts we can read in full. Then we check that the land is registered to the developer, that the construction permit matches what is being sold, and the contract’s delay and penalty terms. We recommend paying in stages rather than all at once. Most problems come from new developers without a track record, which we avoid, and we do these checks before you pay a deposit.

Yes. Many of our buyers never visit before they buy. We show you the project and the unit on a video call, send the contract for review, and you can sign remotely by power of attorney. Payments go by bank transfer, and with some developers in cryptocurrency. Ownership is registered in your name at the Public Registry, in four working days as standard, or one working day with the express service.

Yes. Foreigners can buy apartments, houses and commercial property in Georgia on the same terms as Georgian citizens, with full freehold title in their own name. You don’t need residency, a local company or a Georgian bank account. The only restriction is agricultural land. Ownership is registered at the Public Registry, and there is no property transfer tax, only a small registration fee.

Yes. Property with a market value of at least $150,000, confirmed by a licensed appraiser, qualifies for a renewable one-year residence permit for you, your spouse and your children, and $300,000 or more can qualify for a five-year investment permit. When you buy a qualifying property through us, we prepare and submit the application for free. Off-plan property qualifies once it is registered in your name.

No. Tax residency depends on time spent in Georgia: you generally become a tax resident after 183 days in the country in any 12-month period. Georgian tax residents generally pay no Georgian tax on foreign-source income, but income from work done in Georgia is taxed. Rules depend on your situation and your home country, so speak to a tax adviser before you rely on them.

Local contractors’ price lists start from about $300 per square metre for a full renovation of a white-frame apartment and about $600–700 per square metre for premium turnkey work, so a 40 m² studio starts from about $12,000. Furniture and appliances are extra. The contractor our team uses is often cheaper than the developer’s own turnkey package, and we manage the work remotely for you.

We connect you with the management company our team uses for its own apartments in Batumi, at better rates for our clients. For short-term rentals it handles listings, pricing, guests, cleaning and maintenance and sends you monthly reports; for long-term rentals it finds and manages tenants. If you want no involvement at all, a hotel unit run by an international operator is the more hands-off option.

With some developers, yes. Several Batumi developers accept Bitcoin or USDT for part or all of the price, and the property is registered in your name in the usual way. Not every project accepts crypto, so tell us how you want to pay and we’ll only show you the projects that can accept it. Our crypto guide explains how a crypto purchase works step by step.

We reply on WhatsApp, usually within a few hours, and ask about your budget, your goal and when you want to buy. Then we send price lists for the projects that fit, with our honest view of each one. If you like one, we arrange a viewing or video call, check the contract and help you reserve the unit. There is no fee and no obligation at any step.
