Qualifications and Licences in Bulgaria

In Bulgaria, estate agents must possess a valid license issued by the Bulgarian Ministry of Regional Development and Public Works. This license requires estate agents to pass a qualifying exam and adhere to ethical and professional standards. In addition, estate agents should also have knowledge of the real estate market and regulations in Bulgaria, as well as experience in the field.

Breakdown estate agent fees in Bulgaria

Estate agent fees in Bulgaria can vary widely depending on the type of property and services provided. However, a common fee structure for estate agents in Bulgaria is a commission based on a percentage of the sale price. This commission typically ranges from 2% to 5% of the sale price and is usually paid by the seller.

The use of a buyer’s agent is becoming more common in Bulgaria. A buyer’s agent is a professional who represents the buyer in the purchase process, helping to negotiate the best terms and conditions for the buyer. In Bulgaria, buyer’s agents are not required to possess a specific license or qualification, but they should have knowledge of the real estate market and regulations in Bulgaria, as well as experience in the field. Buyer’s agent fees can vary widely, but they typically charge a flat fee or a commission based on a percentage of the purchase price.

Writer and Editor Kirsten Raccuia is known for her Sand in My Curls blog, which until recently, was all about her expat life in Malaysia. We last spoke at the height of the global pandemic, when she and her husband were closing in on a decade in Penang. Fast-forward a couple of years, and they’re in a new country, Mexico. I’m chatting with Kirsten again to find out what factors influenced their decision to move, and why Mexico? And what it was like to close the Malaysia chapter of their life abroad.

A topic that comes up quite often in our Facebook groups is moving abroad with children. What’s the ideal age? Especially if they're going to need to learn a new language? What about the best time of year to move? And how do you make the assimilation process, from learning new cultural norms to making new friends, as smooth and enjoyable as possible? My guest today is someone who can speak from experience. Sharon Green is the founding editor of online publication SHE DEFINED. And in 1998, just before she turned 12, Sharon migrated with her family from Durban in South Africa to Melbourne in Australia. Sharon’s going to share her experience of being a third culture kid, and how it has shaped her sense of belonging as an adult.
