About us
The Agency "1st Real Estate-Immobiliari" has launched its operations in March 1992, when in Tirana and in Albania did not exist explicitly free market of sales-purchases and leases of real estate. In those years almost lacked legal basis for conducting transactions. It was only a limited number of privately-owned homes, which could have been sold or leased with legal contracts. The rest of the real estate was in the hands of the state, until it began its activities the Commission on Restitution and Compensation of former lawful owners.
One of the first villas (already reconstructed) that was sold by "1st Real Estate" Agency , in 1994, after the villa was returned to its rightful owners by the Commission on Restitution and Compensation
Renting of the ex cluster of communist leader Enver Hoxha, was conducted by 1st Real Estate Agency - Immobiliari after returned to the heirs of its rightful owners by the Comm. of Restitution and Compensation of Property
The process of privatization of state flats (apartments), from the former State Municipal Enterprise Housing, brought a very large inflow in the real estate market. With tens of thousands of apartments were introduced in the market and a large proportion of them began to be sold, or leased.
Buying apartment (currently 1st Real Estate Agency office - Immobiliari) after leaving the law on privatization of apartments from the former State Municipal Enterprise of Housing.
The sale of the former "Partisan Plant", was realized by "1st Real Estate" Agency after its privatization by private shareholders, who bought the property under the law, from the National Privatization Agency
Our agency followed carefully and step by step all the changes and legal dynamics related to real estate transactions, selecting and operating only with those properties that have full legal documentation and excluding those assets with questionable legal status.
We pride ourselves on
For more than 20 years, despite the vicissitudes, dynamics and particular problems that encountered property and ownership in Albania, until today, none of our thousand customers that entered in contract through "1st Real Estate" Agency ; seller or buyer, landlord or tenant, is not facing legal problems and has not ever gone to the gates of the court. This is due to our commitment, professionalism and our responsibility separating and excluding from the beginning, without hesitation problematic properties with uncertain legal status.
