The enquiry

A couple with no investment experience wanted a home for future holidays and possible rental use, with instalments and an active urban setting. Their initial budget was around RUB 10 million.

The team’s approach

Questions remained after three viewings. The agent discussed expectations and risks, found a suitable format and sent the information before the final meeting.
