Looking at Croatian real-estate sites on the Web is really puzzling. You can see the same house listed at three different prices on the same page. Makes you wonder what the he'll is going on.
I truly believe that when buying in Croatia, all buyers have a problem and chaos in their heads when they have to go through such a non-transparent real estate system as it is in Croatia. The problem is because 99% of agencies work on non-exclusive contracts, because sellers still believe that if they advertise the property on several agencies, it will be the same before it was sold and that more clients will see it. But these are misconceptions if we know how real marketing works, and that data transparency is one of the most important facts for customers. While agencies work on quantity and not on quality, the worst thing is that inexperienced agents, in order to justify their minimum, accept anything and everything and thus advertise unrealistic real estate prices. Another paradox is that they often hide real estate from the location and external photos because they have two problems 1. fear that the buyer will bypass them 2 and that the real estate will be stolen from them by another agency And then you wonder, as a seller, what kind of marketing is it if you have to hide the property? Not to mention the different prices in ad
Sad but true. The system in Croatia has no chance of functioning because only 30 years ago people were considered heroes if they managed to deceive the state. Today, life is difficult, so everyone cheats on everyone, it's a national sport to pass your suffering on to someone else.
Ko je to vara drzava i zvali su ga herojen? To je prva stvar zbog koje se vidi da si zesce Bolestan u glavu i teski antihrvat, a drugo di se to tesko zivi? Ako je tako u Slavoniji ne znaci da je u ciloj Hrvatskoj, nikad mi Hrvati nismo bolje zivili u Hrvatskoj u svojoj dugoj povisti nego dan danas, svidio se to tebi ili ne istina je, svejedno pati gubo
Too true. There is one way to mitigate some of this, and that's to request a recent(ish) geographer study. The folks that produce these do have to abide by rules since their information is mostly used to facilitate construction work or proper valuation of a property where their documents can be used in court. They're not cheap to produce. If a seller happens to have one, they are likely a stringent foreign seller, or an even more cautious local. Rare, but there are some. If it's a really big purchase and you're 99% sure of going ahead, spend the extra $5k. It's the closest thing to a legally binding house inspection in Croatia.
I am Croatian and a lawyer. And yet, I wouldn't buy a tent without retaining lawyers specialising in real estate. And certainly not anywhere in Dalmatia where land registrirars are totally screwed up and unreliable.

This is why agency listings mostly contain a disclaimer that says "If you see a lower advertised price for this property, the same applies with us!"
