Cyprus deserves a better online presence to sell its many opportunities
Dear Editor, I would like to give a different perspective on Cyprus. I have been involved
in land and property for 30 years now and have been fortunate to have seen a few booms during this time. And each of these booms has had winners and losers. All property market rises start from the depths of despair and allow the well informed and the financially astute (and sometimes the lucky) to maximise returns from the misfortunes of others. After viewing more than 10 pages of property for sale in Cyprus online
recently, it is no wonder that interest in Cyprus has been in decline. I saw very poor quality images, a distinct lack of knowledge, and ridiculous prices. I could not see one good reason to invest in Cyprus based upon what I had seen or read. Rather than help sales in the most difficult market ever experienced in our lifetime, the articles, the inferior quality offerings and the visual display techniques used must tell some of the story as to why the market has declined in terms of interest. Cyprus deserves a better international property website. My new site, Marriott Property Investments,
will give investors an alternative point of view. It will be our job to address the balance and show the real Cyprus in a better light, in terms of new investment opportunities. We are very aware that the maket knows best and always wins. 50% below market value properties do exist in Cyprus and we will help you and your international clients uncover them. With 110,00 agents, developers and independent financial advisors on
board, I am positive that we can help lift the profile and the spirits of disillusioned Cyprus Investors. With a little help from the Cyprus Banks, which are now offering solutions quietly to the right clientele, I would like to think we can work together to offer an alternative point of view to the negatives which have concentrated - in the main - on the issues surrounding prices , developers, Title Deeds and political setbacks on the island. All of our offerings will be available with Title Deeds or guarantees to obtain them in quick time. Marc Burns, director, Marriott Property Investments.
