Buying real estate in Croatia can be a challenging yet exciting process, involving many legal and administrative aspects. From selecting the right property and negotiating the price to signing the contract and transferring ownership, each phase requires careful planning. MaRiva Real Estate is here to guide you through all these steps and ensure that your journey to owning your own property is as simple and secure as possible.
1. Financial Planning: The Foundation of a Successful Purchase
The first step before you begin considering property options is planning your finances. Check how much money you have available, and if you plan to take out a loan, contact a bank to get the best terms. If you are unsure about the best conditions for you, MaRiva Real Estate can connect you with partners specializing in credit counseling, ensuring you secure more favorable loan terms.
2. Register Your Inquiry and Contact Us
Once you have defined your finances, the next step is to register your request with us. MaRiva Real Estate will help you find a property that meets your needs and connect you with the latest real estate offers on the Adriatic coast.
3. Choose Your Ideal Property with Expert Assistance
Once you register, we will present you with a list of properties that best suit your criteria. We will also regularly inform you about new properties and price reductions through our newsletter. With MaRiva Real Estate, you don’t have to waste time searching on your own—our team is here to find your perfect home, even if that property is not currently on our offer.
4. Organizing Property Viewings
To save you time, we will organize viewings only of those properties that best match your needs. MaRiva Real Estate will ensure that the viewing is as efficient as possible and provide you with advice on every aspect of the property.
5. Negotiating Terms and Price
Once you find a property that suits you, MaRiva Real Estate will inform the owner and negotiate the best terms and price. We will also ensure that all transaction conditions, such as move-out dates, repairs, and included equipment, are clearly defined. Negotiating the terms of the property does not constitute a legal obligation for either party until the official contracts are signed.
6. Preparing for Contract Signing and Legal Due Diligence
After the offer is accepted, we will engage a lawyer who will thoroughly check the documentation and legal validity of the property. MaRiva Real Estate will be with you during this process as well, ensuring that nothing is left to chance.
7. Concluding the Contract and Transfer of Ownership
Once all the conditions are agreed upon, the lawyer will draft the main contract, which must be notarized. Then, the full purchase price is paid to the seller, and the ownership is registered to the new owner.
8. Final Phase
When all steps in the purchase process are completed, MaRiva Real Estate will hand over the keys to your new property and ensure that all necessary documents and utilities are transferred to your name.
