Buying an apartment in Georgia is among the simplest in the world: a deal can be closed in one day, and the only document a buyer needs is a passport. Let's walk through the process step by step.

Step 1. Define your goal and budget

For seaside living, 1+1 apartments from $45,000 are a good fit; for rental income — studios and 1+0 units from $33,000 in complexes with a pool and a management company. Decide upfront: full payment or developer installments (0% for 24–48 months, down payment from 10%).

Step 2. Choose a property remotely or on site

Most of our clients start with an online viewing: a video call with a manager, complex overview, floor plans and current developer prices. If you are in Batumi, an in-person tour covers 3–4 complexes in half a day.

Step 3. Reservation

The chosen apartment is taken off the market after signing a reservation agreement and paying a deposit (usually $500–2,000). The price is fixed.

Step 4. Contract and payment

You sign a sale-purchase agreement with the developer, or a preliminary agreement for installment plans. Payment is made by bank transfer to the developer's account. Cash is accepted too, but a transfer is safer and confirms the origin of funds.

Step 5. Registration at the Public Service Hall

Ownership is registered at the Public Service Hall in one day. Only a passport is required. The state fee is 50–200 GEL depending on urgency. No notary is required. The property is registered directly in your name — with no restrictions for foreigners.

Buyer's costs
  • Registration fee: 50–200 GEL (~$20–75)
  • Agency services: free for the buyer — the commission is paid by the developer
  • Annual property tax: none for most non-resident owners
FAQ

Can I buy fully remotely? Yes, by power of attorney. Many clients complete a purchase without coming to Georgia.

Does buying grant residency? Citizens of many countries can stay in Georgia visa-free for up to a year, so no separate permit is needed to own and live in your property.

What are the risks? The main one is unfinished construction. That is why we only work with verified developers with a track record of delivered projects and transparent land documents.
