Independent real estate advisory · Batumi, Georgia
Whilemostinvestorswait,Batumigrows:+9.4%in2025.
I’m Italian, I live in Batumi, and I help entrepreneurs and investors figure out whether Georgia is the right move for their capital — and make it with a method. If it isn’t, I’ll tell you before you waste time.
I mostly work with people weighing larger operations, but Batumi has a rare trait: you can enter with modest capital. There are real opportunities even between $40,000 and $100,000 — selection makes the difference, not just budget.

The "primary" market is new-build sold by the developer. Rising prices mean a market in demand, not stalling.

The real problem
It’s not that you don’t know where to invest. It’s that you no longer trust anyone.
You built capital in a country that taxes it at up to 43% — plus surtaxes. Every year without a strategy, inflation and the taxman split what you set aside. You know it. But between knowing and moving there’s one obstacle: who do you trust?
The bank advisor who never invested a euro beyond his salary? The agency sending you floor plans on WhatsApp from 2,500 km away? The YouTube video promising a guaranteed 18%? You’ve already understood that most people selling "abroad" don’t live there, don’t pay taxes there and never bought property there.
The problem underneath the problem is this: you don’t want to buy an apartment. You want to stop watching your capital lose value — without handing it to someone whose only incentive is to sell you anything.
If instead you want verifiable data, a method, and someone accountable by name — keep reading.
No-fit
- If you’re looking for guaranteed returns in 30 days, this is not the right place.
- If an agent sending floor plans on WhatsApp is enough for you, I have nothing to offer.
- If your horizon is under 3 years, Georgia is probably not for you — and I’d tell you the same in a consultation.
Why me
Three things a catalogue can’t give you.
01
I live here.
Every day in Batumi updates my database: the streets, the active and the stalled construction sites, the real prices developers don’t publish, the districts that grow and the ones that stagnate. I don’t read market research — I verify it on foot.
02
If it’s not for you, I’ll say so.
My model doesn’t depend on making you buy at all costs. If your asset, tax or liquidity situation doesn’t make the operation efficient right now, I tell you before — not after. It’s not altruism: it’s the only way this work makes sense long term.
03
Advisory, not transaction.
I’m not a catalogue of apartments. I start from your goals, your horizon and your risk profile to understand whether and how Georgia fits your strategy. The sale is the consequence of serious analysis, not the starting point.
Numbers, not opinions
Why Georgia. With a source under every figure.
GDP growing 9.3% a year on average since 2021. A 1% turnover tax for small businesses. Rental income taxed at 5%. Zero capital gains after two years. And a market — Batumi — with entry prices at less than half of Varna and a fifth of Split. Every number on this page carries its source and year.

No inflated promises. No guaranteed returns. If I analyse your situation and Georgia isn’t the right move now, I’m the first to say it. My competitive advantage isn’t selling you something — it’s being the person you come back to when you’re ready, because you know I never told you stories.
