Real Estate / Top Warsaw Real Estate Agents or Agencies Wanted [8]

Hi,

Can any of you guys suggest who would be the top 3 Real Estate agents in Warsaw?

Is it a safe assumption that they would speak English?

Being a foreigner I only want to deal with only reputable firms.

Thanks in advance

When I mean best I mean with a good reputation for getting their clients good deals and being recognised by the public as a prominent seller. I really should have prefaced the question with the comment that I am needing to sell a family property and I probably should have asked who are the 3 largest?

Any additional comments would be much appreciated as I am wanting to make contact with them soon.

Real Estate / Jaworzynska in Srodmiescie district. [9]

Can anyone give me some general comments about this area? I have a property to sell there which my great aunt left me. I understand it is close to both the central business district and the old city. Any general information and comments would be much appreciated.

Krysia. Thank you for your response. Do you by any chance know of any well known agents in the area who might speak English?

Your offer to take a photo is very kind, if you do happen to end up going right to that area let me know and I will tell you the address, but if you are not going right around there I would not want to trouble you.

If you know of any other highlights, landmarks, or facilities in the area please let me know.

Thank you for your advise. I have just emailed Century 21 and Remax. I am also yet to appoint a lawyer but when I do I will also investigate the probability of them doing the selling. Unfortunately at the moment I do not know yet what is a realistic sell price but once I get a feel I will make my expectations clear. Do you guys have any other suggestions of agents to contact? The unit is in Srodmiescie, Warsaw. I really appreciate all your help. This process is especially daunting with me not being able to speak Polish. Thanks again.

Real Estate / Advise on payment for a person who supervises an apartment in Poland? [19]

Hello.

I am not sure if this is a suitable section to post this but it did not seem to relate to any other sections. My question is what would be a fair weekly amount to pay (in zloty) for a local person to go to a unit in Warsaw couple of times a week and empty the mail and occasionally let some one in to view the unit? The unit has a back-to-base alarm system but this is just a supplementary security measure.

Your feedback is appreciated.

Regards,

Guy

Thank you very much for your comments. What about in a situation in which they just lived in the general area of Warsaw and had to travel around 2-3 hours per week? What would be a fair amount? I would like to be generous so that the person would be happy to also from time to time show people the place etc but naturally I need to keep down costs until I can sell the property so in that view I would like to be paying an amount which is not excessive. This is the first time I have been involved in such a situation so I really appreciate the help you guys are giving me.

Good comment but it is not practical. If you guys can give me an idea based around the total of 2-3 hours travel per week that would be great. As it stands. I do not think my family in Sydney personally knows anyone in the building although I will look into it.

As it stands It has been proposed that I pay 400zl per week for someone who drives there but I do not know from where exactly, I can only guess it could not be too far away but would like to factor in up to 3 hours a week which should more than cover it. As a local what would you guys deem a fair but generous amount.

In short at 400zl a week would you say I am being ripped of? I do not personally know this person and I obviously don't want to be taken advantage of. To put it in other terms what is an average weekly salary so I can put this into perspective.

Thank you for all the replies and suggestions. I will try and get some solid info on what constitutes the 400 zl a week amount. It does though clearly seem that this amount is too high to be paying for several months for what is needed and that I should seek more affordable and practical alternatives.

Real Estate / Probate in Poland [8]

Can anyone tell me what is roughly the average time for a probate to come through in Poland.

Thanks for that. I was told around 4 months in my case, which I guess is fast by Polish standards. In Australia I have been told its usually a few weeks at most.
