How to sell an apartment without an agency in Zagreb?
Namely, the real estate markets in Croatia are diametrically opposed and the rules that apply to e.g. Rijeka or Osijek will not apply to Zagreb. For example, the agency service differs from region to region, the advertising channels are not the same for real estate at sea, in Slavonia or Zagreb, and unfortunately the land registry courts in Croatia do not have a uniform legal practice of handling property registrations, liens, various data, not to mention something more demanding or deadlines in which they do so.
All of the above is the reason why in this blog we look at the Zagreb real estate market and answer the question of whether you should engage in the sale of an apartment yourself without an agency.
