Real estate investment solutions Cyprus in 2024
High quality apartment real estate services Limassol, Cyprus: Alliance members include large (working all over the island) and medium-sized (specializing in one region) developers. In addition to large and medium-sized players in Cyprus, there are also small developers – family companies, initially focused on the domestic market. They do a great job, both in design and quality, however in foreign markets nothing is known about them. For such companies, opening representation in other countries, participation in foreign exhibitions and events, arranging advertising campaigns and so on is too complex, both financially and organizationally. We would happily like to note that some family-owned developers have already been accepted into the Alliance and we are open to further work in this direction.
