Real estate consultant Nikos Skoufas reveals what attracted him to INVESTA Real Estate and what he has gained from his involvement with Real Estate to date.

Just a year ago, Nikos Skoufas decided to make a career change, in order to deal with Real Estate. The identity and reliability of INVESTA Real Estate attracted him, while the experience of working together and joining the company rewarded him. Mr. Skoufas tells us his journey and shares with us his professional experience as a real estate consultant of INVESTA Real Estate.

I come from the field of art and song, which I have been serving with love and dedication for 20 consecutive years. My main concern is to serve people in the real estate industry with the same dedication to every residential or professional housing need.

I was looking for a change in both the work environment and the industry I was in. To be honest, the field of real estate agency did not have the best general picture, which is why I was careful from the beginning in my meetings with any executive of this field. When we made the first contact, I really liked both the professional approach and the people who staff the company. I understood the brand to be very strong and prestigious, while the company's business model is unique.

I think that in order to deal with the Real Estate market, in addition to everyone's theoretical knowledge, communication skills and understanding of the industry are needed. As a result, it seems that I had them and that's why after the preliminary interviews and my training I energetically started my career in the field.

The truth is that I started my education and my occupation as a real estate consultant shortly before the second strict lockdown was imposed due to a pandemic. It was not a good time for the market as a whole, however, I can say that I coped. First of all, the company doesn't require you to go out on your own. On the contrary, he recommends that you make the first contacts with a more experienced partner or our manager, so that you have his support and example. In addition, we have a wide range of digital tools so that we can train and do our work and presentations even remotely. INVESTA Real Estate has invested in digital technology and social media marketing, which gives it a great comparative advantage over the competition.

I have just completed a year at the INVESTA Real Estate office, however I am very satisfied both with the terms of cooperation and the environment of our company, as well as with the earnings. Obviously you are not self-employed so you expect income from day one, however slowly building up my position, today I am much more satisfied with my income. Admittedly, it takes dedication, commitment, drive, flexibility and a "strong stomach" for someone who has chosen to enter the field of sales, even more so in the field of real estate. But I am very satisfied both with the subject and the daily schedule that I am now shaping, as well as with my earnings.

I think that this very model significantly differentiates our work. It gives a real incentive to the network of colleagues to support each other, without the competition of claiming points and real estate. I consider that our people are the great capital, the goodwill of INVESTA Real Estate. I really appreciate the support of our manager who constantly supports our work. But also the whole team of colleagues and people in the support functions. At every step, in every transaction or special case, we always have the support of the company, in addition to training and contact with the aspects of our subject.

It is really booming especially in terms of real estate demand and soon supply. Massive developments are now starting and there are new luxury as well as mid-range properties available. On the demand side, there is a tremendous increase. Especially in the last six months the demand is unprecedented. INVESTA Real Estate also as a company has a network of partners and stakeholders, which it manages with great efficiency. So, all the parameters are positive regarding the Real Estate market.Of course, it always requires hard work, honesty and consistency on my part, but I feel that my professional choice gives me great prospects for the future.
