How buying works
From “I’m interested” to the keys. 4 steps.
Choose — remotely works too
Viewings in person or by video call. The Public Registry is searchable online, in English: you verify who the real owner is before moving a single euro.
Sign the contract
In your own name, full freehold: no local company required, your passport is enough.
Pay: wire, cash or crypto
International wire (with the banking dossier prepared in advance), cash where regulation allows, or crypto: several developers accept it via regulated conversion at closing.
Register the title
1 procedure, 1 day expedited (World Bank DB2020). From that moment the property is 100% yours.
Payment plans: how they really work
It depends on what you buy. Off-plan (under construction): typically a down payment followed by monthly instalments at 0% interest paid directly to the developer until delivery. Ready property: full price at deed — often with room to negotiate. No banks, no mortgage: the plan lives in the contract.
Only for those who already bought
After the purchase I don’t disappear. The concierge begins.
Services reserved exclusively for my investors, from deed day onwards:
Handover & snagging
Key collection, finish inspection and defect reporting **before** you sign off delivery.
Turnkey furnishing
Design, purchasing and assembly coordinated with verified local suppliers.
Utilities & bank account
Power, water, internet and a Georgian bank account — without you flying in.
Vetted property management
I only introduce managers I’ve verified in person — with real occupancy numbers, not promises.
Reports & statements
Periodic updates on rentals, costs and property condition.
Exit & resale
When it’s time to exit, I coordinate valuation, listing and negotiation.

Investor questions
Straight answers. In plain sight.
Yes — and not just in my daily experience: Georgia consistently ranks among the safest countries in the region and invests heavily in visitor safety. You walk at night without a second thought; petty crime is rare. Come verify it: it’s the first thing I have my clients do.
