1. Where are you originally from?
I’m born in Yambol, town famous with interesting historical sites and great people.
Yambol is not only one of the oldest towns in Bulgaria but in Europe too. Physical evidence proves that there was life in the surrounding area from 6 000 years B.C. Kabyle, the big ancient Thracian center, that is an important fortress in the Philip II of Macedon’s jurisdiction.
30 years ago I moved to Sofia and I had the opportunity to observe carefully the different changes in the market- the stages of restitution, the resale of old properties and buildings, the construction of new shops, retail malls and industrial areas. In time the intransitive values both cultural and historic, stood the test of time and made Sofia one true European city.

2. What is your prior business background or education? 
I have bachelor’s degree in pedagogy. I worked in several elite schools in Sofia before I redirect my career to real estate, for 20 years now.
It appears that my abilities to convince, motivate and remain calm that were acquired in my previous career are incredibly helpful in the real estate area. My preferable target clients are young families, who are in the process of searching of their first home. The place where they will build their future and take care of their children.

3. What type of real estate or area of Sofia is your specialty? 
I mainly work with residential properties – for sale and for rent, my main specialty are the South areas of Sofia. These are the most preferable areas for the residential market in Sofia, situated near South park, Vitosha, with great transport access and fast connections to the center and the Ring road. Most of them like Strelbishte, Gotse Delchev, Ivan Vazov, Lozenets have great infrastructure, offer many shopping centers, kindergartens, schools, medical centers. Others like Manastirski livadi are notable with their accelerated construction. Many clients prefer gated complexes.

4. How long have you been working in the Sofia real estate industry?
I am in the real estate business in Sofia for 20 years so I had the possibility to observe the development of the market, all the changes that comes with it. Sometimes these changed imposed the adaptivity and different approach.

5. What in your option is the most exciting thing about real estate in Sofia?
The real estate market in Sofia is extremely dynamic. It requires a serious dose of marketing, quick reaction and precise appraisal to the specific search of each client.
In addition, it is very important to retain the client’s thrust which is a guarantee for a successful partnership. Many of my clients gave their recommendations to their relatives and friends and this is how my client’s circle grows even bigger.

 6.What is the best piece of advice you can give to clients?
The best advice that I usually give to my clients is to see the specific property as an investment. That way even if they want to sell it in the future they have a guarantee for the spent money and even have the possibility for gaining. So my advice is to look for the best location, the condition of the building and its exposure. Everything else can change.
