Who I help and how

I help investors decide where and what property to buy abroad — for rental income, resale, relocation, citizenship or residency. People come to me when they want to put money into property abroad but aren't sure which country and property to choose, how to assess returns and costs, or where to start with the purchase. I work with property in Turkey, Georgia, the UAE and Portugal. Together with my team, I compare options to match the client's goals and budget, and go through the purchase terms, possible risks and the property's prospects. If the goal involves citizenship or residency, we separately check whether the property purchase meets the chosen country's current requirements.

How the work goes

1. We start with a consultation: we discuss the purpose of the purchase, budget, timeline and expectations. From the client, I need the key preferences: what the property is being bought for, how much is available to invest, and whether instalments are planned. 2. We define the strategy: choosing the countries and types of property that match the request. We discuss costs, possible income scenarios and future resale. 3. We select and compare properties: explaining the advantages and limitations of each option, and arranging online presentations or in-person viewings. 4. We support the purchase: coordinating with the seller or developer, document preparation and the stages of the deal. 5. We stay in touch after the purchase: helping with questions about the property and the next steps — obtaining ownership, handover, furnishing, handing it over for management, or resale. The timeline depends on the country, document readiness and the chosen property. At the consultation, we set out an approximate plan and timeline for your situation.

Why trust me

I'm Kristina Talankina, an investor and founder of Kristal Real Estate, a boutique investment property agency. Behind my recommendations are 15 years of hands-on investment experience and a personal portfolio of 30 properties across 6 countries. Our agency has worked with more than 100 clients. I invest in property myself, so when selecting options I assess what matters to an owner: the full purchase cost, maintenance expenses, rental prospects and resale potential. Kristal Real Estate is a full-cycle agency: we support the client from selecting and buying a property through to handover, furnishing, and handing it over for rental management or resale.
