Our Services

Most real estate agencies in Batumi work like a shop window: they send the client dozens of links from a shared database, hoping at least one option sticks. At DT Realty we work in a fundamentally different way.

We act as your personal advisor and filter on the market. Instead of an endless stream of listings, we dig deep into your goal, filter out fakes and illiquid options, calculate the real economics and flag the risks on every property, before you put down a deposit.

1. Who we help and how

Our approach is built for people who value their time, money and legal safety:

• Investors: if you need predictable passive income or capital growth, not abstract developer price lists promising «25% a year».
• Buyers of a home for themselves and their family: for those moving to Georgia and looking for an apartment in a good district, with gas heating, quality finishing, developed infrastructure and a quiet courtyard.
• Buyers from other countries (remote deals): we help you safely buy property in Batumi without being present in person, controlling every step from checking the registry extract to getting the keys.

2. How curated selection works

We do not forward you a database full of fake prices. Instead, you receive a focused shortlist of a few real properties that fit your parameters perfectly.

Before we send you any option, we assess:

• Fit to your goal: an apartment for short-term rental and an apartment for a family to live in are completely different properties with different engineering.
• Direct contact with the owner or developer: no long chains of intermediaries and mark-ups.
• Honest location assessment: we will tell you plainly if a «wall» of another complex will rise in front of your windows in a year, or if the building has no gas connection.

3. In-depth legal due diligence

Legal verification of the property and the developer is a key stage of our work. Before any reservations or advance payments, we run a comprehensive audit:

• Public Registry: we check the ownership history and any seizures, mortgages, liens and court encumbrances.
• Legal status of the land: for townhouses, villas or apartments with a private yard we verify the designated use of the plot. Foreigners may only buy land with «non-agricultural» status.
• Protection against double sales: when buying off-plan property we make sure the preliminary purchase agreement (the claim right) is registered in the Public Registry of Georgia. A plain paper contract without a NAPR record does not protect the buyer.
• Contract and developer analysis: we study building permits, the developer's financial stability and the terms of the management company agreement (including hidden service fees).

Our rule: if a property has legal flaws or the developer systematically misses deadlines, we say so plainly and decline to support such a deal.

4. Primary and secondary markets: how we work

5. Investment maths

For investors we do not use developers' «marketing» brochures. We build a financial model based on the realities of the Batumi market:

• Seasonality: we account for high occupancy in the summer months and realistic occupancy in the low season.
• Operating costs: we factor in management company fees (usually 20–30%), utilities and depreciation.
• Taxation:
  • Rental income tax: when renting to individuals it is 5% (a simple registration on RS.ge is required).
  • VAT threshold: we track the income threshold of GEL 100,000 over 12 months to avoid a risky switch to VAT status (18%).
  • Capital gains tax on resale: if you sell residential property owned for less than 2 years, a 5% tax on net profit applies. After more than 24 months of ownership: 0%. This applies to properties with «residential» status.

6. Full support and remote deals

Georgia offers one of the fastest and most convenient property registration procedures in the world. We run the process turnkey, including remotely.

Registration fees and timelines at the House of Justice (Public Service Hall)

• 0%: there is no property purchase tax for the buyer in Georgia at all.
• GEL 150 (about $55): standard registration of ownership (4 business days).
• GEL 360 (about $135): expedited registration of ownership (same day).

Nuances of a remote purchase

For remote deals on secondary housing or assignment of rights, we help you draw up a proper notarised power of attorney. A document issued in your country of residence must carry an Apostille (or consular legalisation). In Batumi we handle its official translation into Georgian and notarisation.

7. After-sales service: what happens after the deal

Our work does not end the moment you receive the registry extract. We help the buyer settle in and put the property to work:

• Transferring utility accounts: we switch the electricity, water, gas and internet contracts into your name.
• Renovation and furnishing: if the property is bought as a «black» or «white» frame, we select trusted construction teams and provide supervision.
• Rental management: we help hand the property to a reliable management company or take on the search for long-term tenants.

8. Transparent terms and cost of services

We stand for full financial transparency:

• Buying new builds: DT Realty services are completely free for the buyer. Our work is paid by the developer from their marketing budget. The apartment price for you stays exactly the same as in the developer's sales office (including all current discounts and installment plans).
• Secondary market and rental: the fee for supporting a secondary-market purchase or a rental search is agreed as a fixed amount before we start. No hidden payments, no small print, no surprise costs.
