The Benefits of Working with ANTHEM Real Estate Investments: A Guide for Foreign Investors in Bucharest

Bucharest’s real estate market is full of opportunities, but successfully navigating it requires market expertise, local knowledge, and a strategic approach. Whether you're an investor looking to sell (exit) your properties or a new investor entering the market, working with an experienced real estate agency like ANTHEM Real Estate Investments can make a significant difference. This guide explores the key benefits of partnering with a professional agency like ANTHEM, using data-driven insights, market comparisons, and real-world examples. Benefits for Foreign Investors Looking to Sell (Exit Strategy) 1. Maximizing Property Value & Pricing Strategies One of the biggest challenges for investors looking to sell is determining the optimal price. Overpricing leads to prolonged market time, while underpricing results in financial losses. Market Data Advantage: ANTHEM utilizes real-time data and comparative market analysis (CMA) to set the most competitive price. Pricing Comparison: Properties sold by professional agencies achieve an average of 7-15% higher closing prices compared to those sold directly by owners. Example: A premium apartment in Herăstrău listed at €250,000 could sell for €265,000-€280,000 with the right positioning and marketing strategy. 2. Faster Sales Through Professional Marketing & Exposure Without an agency, properties take an average of 6-12 months to sell. With ANTHEM’s targeted digital marketing, properties sell on average 30-50% faster. Premium Listings & Professional Photos: High-end properties receive 60% more inquiries when marketed with professional photography and staging. Global Buyer Network: Access to a database of high-net-worth buyers from Europe, the Middle East, and North America looking for investments in Bucharest. Example: A seller in Pipera had their property on the market for 9 months with no offers. After switching to ANTHEM, the property was marketed with a video tour and targeted social media ads, leading to a sale within 45 days. 3. Handling Legal & Bureaucratic Complexities Foreign investors often struggle with: Understanding Romanian tax regulations (capital gains tax, property transfer tax, etc.). Legal documentation & notary procedures. Avoiding costly contract mistakes. ANTHEM provides full legal support to ensure a seamless transaction, reducing risk and saving investors thousands in potential legal fees. 4. Negotiation Expertise & Securing the Best Deal Investors who negotiate independently often lose 5-10% of their potential profits due to poor negotiation strategies. Experienced Agents: ANTHEM's agents increase final sale prices by 8-12% on average through data-backed negotiation. Example: A foreign investor selling a €350,000 penthouse in Floreasca received offers of €310,000 when negotiating independently. With ANTHEM's strategy, the final sale closed at €345,000, securing an extra €35,000. Section 2: Benefits for Foreign Investors Entering the Bucharest Market 1. Access to Exclusive & Off-Market Properties Many high-yield investment opportunities never make it to public listings. ANTHEM has access to off-market deals that provide better ROI. Data Insight: 40% of the best investment properties in Bucharest are sold before they are publicly listed. Example: An investor looking for a €200,000 rental property was introduced to an off-market deal yielding 8% ROI, compared to 5.5% on public listings. 2. Selecting the Right Investment Strategy (Rental, Airbnb, Commercial, Flipping) Not all properties perform equally. ANTHEM helps investors choose the most profitable strategy based on: Rental Demand & Yields: Long-term rentals: 5-7% net yield in areas like Floreasca & Dorobanți. Short-term (Airbnb): 8-12% net yield in Old Town & Victoriei. Commercial Properties: 6-9% annual ROI for office spaces & retail units. Example: An investor planned to buy a €180,000 apartment in Pipera for Airbnb rentals. ANTHEM’s analysis showed higher returns in Old Town, leading to a 10.5% annual return instead of 7%. 3. Navigating Legal & Bureaucratic Processes Foreign investors need to understand ownership laws, taxes, and financing. Legal Support: ANTHEM ensures clear title verification, contract drafting, and tax guidance. Financing Assistance: EU Citizens: Access to local mortgages with 20-30% down payment. Non-EU Citizens: Assistance in setting up a Romanian company (SRL) to purchase land. 4. Post-Purchase Management & Maximizing Returns A successful investment doesn’t end at purchase. ANTHEM offers property management services to maximize long-term gains. Tenant Management & Rent Collection: Saves investors 8-10 hours per month. Maintenance & Value Appreciation: Ensures higher resale value. Example: A foreign investor with 3 rental apartments in Bucharest outsourced property management to ANTHEM, increasing rental income by 15% annually while reducing personal involvement.
