Dear friends,
If you're looking to buy, sell, or rent out a property, my personal recommendation is Igor King.
I want to share my experience because it may help someone avoid the mistake I made.
Last year, I needed to sell an apartment. Since I knew many real estate agents, choosing the right one wasn't easy. For some reason, I decided to work with another agent who constantly promoted herself as "the best in the business." Every month, her social media featured another successful sale, so trusting her seemed like the obvious choice.
Unfortunately, it turned out to be one of my biggest mistakes.
One month passed, then two, then three—and nothing happened. I had to chase the agent for updates instead of receiving them proactively. The only solution she kept suggesting was lowering the asking price. Since I wanted to sell quickly, I agreed.
Eventually, the price had dropped so much that anyone could have sold the apartment. Looking back, it became clear that reducing the price wasn't in my best interest—it was simply the fastest way for the agent to close the deal and earn a commission.
Here are some of the issues I experienced:
- I received no advice on preparing the apartment for sale—no recommendations on what to fix, remove, or improve.
- She posted Instagram stories while standing outside my building, saying she couldn't sell the apartment and was ready to give up. I honestly didn't know how to react to that.
- She even claimed in her stories—twice—that the apartment had already been sold, even though it hadn't.
- I asked a few friends to make test calls to see how inquiries were being handled. None of the calls were answered, and no one called back. It became obvious that potential buyers' calls could simply be missed.
The result? Six months wasted, with absolutely no progress.
That's when I decided to hand the property over to Igor King.
The difference was immediate.
We quickly prepared the apartment for the market. Igor personally called me, kept everything moving, and made sure every detail was handled without delay.
He also recommended increasing the asking price by €30,000.
The result?
The apartment sold within one month.
Was it luck? Maybe. But the real difference was the professionalism. Igor handled everything exactly as it should be. I didn't have to waste time chasing updates or worrying about the process—he took care of it all.
My personal advice is simple: before choosing a real estate agent, take the time to speak with them and understand how they actually work.
Or skip that step entirely and go straight to ESTKING Real Estate and Igor King. You'll have peace of mind knowing that your transaction will be handled with your best interests at heart—not just with the goal of making a quick sale.
