"Done For You" Property Purchasing
Our Real Estate service will take you from initial interest through to final purchase and beyond.
In addition to taking care of the conveyancing (legal/due diligence work), our team will assist you in both research, pre-screening, negotiations, and even assist you in transferring the utilities to your name, for your newly acquired house, apartment, or commercial space. Avoid getting the “foreigner” price on your property and let our in-house Georgian staff negotiate on your behalf.
NOTE: Contrary to most other purchase assistance agents, we never accept "kick-backs" from sellers, keeping our interests always aligned with yours.

Schedule of Fees:
Do I need to be present in Georgia to start or complete the purchase?
No.
With a power of attorney and apostilled passport we can complete every step of the process for you remotely. Funds for the actual purchase would need to be transferred directly to the seller as we cannot act as an intermediary for funds transfer.
Are there any additional fees?
Additional fees for 3rd party providers may apply, as marked above. Power of Attorney (optional) fees may apply. Typically there are no other additional fees relating to the stated inclusions, but we can discuss any possible additional costs at your initial consultation.
If you intend to conduct the purchase remotely, either entirely or partly, your power of attorney (if signed outside of Georgia) and other international documents may need to be notarized or apostilled in your home country, at your own expense.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
"I went in for a free consultation and was very impressed with the amount of information I was given. I had done a bit of research online myself but their knowledgable staff helped me to understand everything much better and really helped me with my inquiry. Highly recommended ExpatHub services - wish I had just gone to see them from the very beginning!"

FAQs
I need the purchase made with a Power of Attorney. What is the procedure?
We can provide the appropriate PoA document, meeting Georgian legal requirements. If you will be in Georgia, the process is simpler and we can accompany you to the notary to get the document notarized. Once notarized, we can represent you.
If you will not be coming to Georgia, we can email you the PoA, then you will be responsible for getting it apostilled in your own country, and then couriered to us. Upon receipt, we will get it translated and notarized in Georgian, after which, we can represent you.
The PoA service is included for free with the Real Estate Purchase Assistance package.
How long does it take to close a sale in Georgia?
This depends entirely on the complexity of the work and the current demand for our services. Analysis of a purchase agreement, as an example, may take 2 to 5 business days, on average.
However, you should allow 2 weeks on average, from the date of making your intention to purchase the property clear to the seller, through to transfer of the title to you. If the seller is particularly difficult to deal with, or a lot of revisions to the purchase agreement need to be negotiated, additional time may be required.
Once all the legal work is done, and the extract has been renewed and checked, the actual purchase duration to transfer the title can be done the same day, the next business day, or within 4 business days (differing fees apply). This is done at the Public Service Hall. From the Standard package or higher, one of our team will join you for the appointment to assist with the transfer of the title.
Will I need to pay VAT on your service price?
VAT must be applied to all real estate services and agent services (including purchase assistance) when the real estate in question is located on the territory of Georgia. The only exception would be a general real estate consultation that is not related to a specific purchase (i.e., initial consulting for general information about the real estate market and taxes) providing the customer does not normally reside in Georgia and does not plan to imminently.
If you think you will not owe VAT, ask us in your quote request and explain your circumstances.
What may incur additional fees from ExpatHub?
Any work outside the scope and the fair use amounts for each package. No one likes surprise invoices, so our policy is to inform you in advance that we expect additional work to take place that is not covered in your package, and to give you an estimate of what that work may cost.
