Our clients’ reviews

★★★★★

We hesitated for a long time but ended up buying a studio on New Boulevard - zero regrets. The Ihlas team genuinely helped at every step, from selection to paperwork. At the Public Service Hall everything was done in a day. Now we rent it to tourists and come ourselves in summer.

Anna Petrova

Got an apartment in Batumi with installments - zero overpayment, straight from the developer. Ihlas lawyers checked everything themselves, even helped open a bank account remotely. Already rented it out last summer, pays for itself nicely.

Serhiy Kovalchuk

We lived in Istanbul but wanted peace and the sea every day. Friends recommended Batumi. Ihlas found us a great apartment, paperwork done in two days, no stress. The team speaks Turkish which really helped.

Ahmet Demir

Visited three agencies in Batumi but only Ihlas explained everything properly without pressure. The buying process was transparent, the lawyer stayed in touch until the very end. For Europeans very convenient, they speak English and German.

Sandra Weber

Was choosing between Turkey and Georgia. Ihlas works in both countries so they honestly told me the pros and cons of each. Chose Batumi - no visa needed, lower taxes, and the sea is crystal clear. Been living here a year, no regrets at all.

Igor Smirnov

Moved from Kyiv with two kids. Ihlas found an apartment in Makhinjauri - quiet area, walking distance to the sea. Helped with residence permit, bank, even suggested a school. Everything sorted in a week. You really feel they care about you.

Olena Shevchenko

★★★★☆

Bought an apartment in Gonio entirely remotely - viewings by video, contract signed through Georgia's e-Government system. Didn't fly anywhere. Only downside - limited options in my budget, but what they found was great.

James Wilson

Was looking for a place to rent out and not think about it. Ihlas found an apart-hotel on New Boulevard where the management company runs everything - cleaning, guests, reports. I literally do nothing, money comes in. Perfect.

David Levi

Moved from Almaty with the whole family. No visa needed, climate like home but warmer, and the sea is right there. Ihlas found a spacious apartment near the beach, kids enrolled in an international school. New life started easily thanks to this team.

Aliya Nurlanova

I'm from Batumi myself. Bought a rental apartment through Ihlas - they genuinely know better than anyone which districts work during the season. Told me where to buy for year-round occupancy. I trust locals, and these guys delivered.
