Aurelija Kaniski and I have just sold my house in Varazdin.She made everything so easy for me and always with a smile,kindness and professionalism. I highly recommend her . She was available day and night and explained everything to me in a clear way. I dont speak Croatian so she really helped me obtaining documents,meeting the right people and also with the new buyers for my house. A wonderful experience!!!!
Very disappointing and unprofessional experience. I repeatedly asked whether the apartment documentation was clean and was assured verbally by their agent Dalibor Šušnjar that everything was fine. Based on this, I signed the pre-agreement and paid both the deposit and a 3% agency commission. Only after that, during the bank’s mortgage inspection, a serious inconsistency was discovered: the number of balconies in the ownership papers (vlasnički list) does not match the actual property. This was found by the bank’s agent—not by the agency. Had I known this before signing the pre-agreement, I would have negotiated the price differently or walked away. Because the issue appeared after signing, canceling would have meant losing my deposit. I now have to fix the documentation myself, costing several thousand euros. The agency took no responsibility, offered no help, and refused any compensation. Important lesson: their word over the phone means nothing—get everything in writing. Once problems arise, communication becomes vague and responsibility is avoided. The process was never clearly explained, I was pressured to sign a confirmation for documents I had not yet received (energy certificate), and unlike many agencies, they did not even help with basic things like utility transfers—I had to handle HEP myself. I paid a high commission expecting due diligence and professional support. Instead, I was left alone with a costly legal problem. I would not recommend this agency.
Working with Kristina Benčić to sell my villa in Kurili was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She was truly amazing — professional, proactive, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Kristina went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly. She not only managed the sale efficiently, but also helped me solve several issues that came up before, during, and even after the sale. Her dedication, attention to detail, and genuine care for her clients are remarkable. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent — I wholeheartedly recommend Kristina Benčić to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the area. She’s simply the best!
I had such a great time working with Zdenka Gold — it was a super pleasant collaboration and a clear 5/5 experience. From day one, she understood our needs and focused and helping us get what we need. She gave us the winning advice that actually got the deal done! If you need a pro who's focused on getting you what you want, you absolutely need Zdenka! Sold by Gold!
Our real estate agent, Katarina Vlašić, was super‼️ As an American, I was quite nervous about our first purchase in Croatia 🇭🇷. Things are very different here. But, from the beginning she was flexible, resourceful, and creative with solutions to make me comfortable and see our transaction through. I have referred others to her and will continue to do so at every opportunity as well as return to her with future needs. Thank you for making our dream come true 😍
