Our way of working today is truly different!

In the early years of his career, our founder developed his business by selling new construction properties according to the standard model of mass agencies. Through active and even aggressive marketing and advertising, our extensive portfolio of new construction projects, agreed with various developers, was quickly realized in the young and enthusiastic market at the beginning of the new century. Buyers come from practically all over the world, and the purchases are of properties of various projects - from the highest class to budget offers in the economy class. In these early years, we regularly realized sales of over 1000 property units per year.

The gradually accumulating years of professional experience of our team and the numerous stressful situations and cases that arose during the work process soon showed that many construction contractors were failing to fulfill their contractual commitments to the Buyers we provided. A number of reasons lead to delays in the completion of projects, unsatisfactory quality of construction, replacement of the initially planned and promised materials and construction technologies in order to save money and maximize the profit of the developers, irregularities in the documentary part and many other discrepancies between what was promised/agreed with the buyers "on the green" and what was actually implemented at the end of the project. Believing that the main purpose and function of the real estate sales broker-consultant is actually to protect the interests of the bona fide parties in the transaction (both buyers and construction developers), our founder Nikola Stoyanov decided to completely change the way of working in the sale of properties in new construction projects. In itself, the sale of properties "on the green" is a specific matter, in which the buyer makes a decision to invest in a property or purchase one that has not yet been built, and most often it is only based on a project and a picture. With this method of purchase, it is important to assume that the property and the building are still unbuilt, and often the completion dates are 2 or 3 years. The buyer assumes certain risks that theoretically face each project until its implementation. That is why it is imperative for every buyer to consider very carefully which project and which construction contractor to invest in. Sometimes buyers make an inappropriate choice of project, from an inexperienced builder, or in a low-prospect area in which they purchase a property, based on emotion or because of a lower price. Such inappropriately selected properties and projects almost always lead to stress and headaches for the buyer, and very often to a real loss of money. In addition to direct losses and missed benefits, unsuccessfully implemented projects bring a lot of disappointment to their buyers, who in turn, with their negative impressions and reviews, spoil the image of the entire new construction real estate industry and all counterparties in this market - construction contractors and brokers. The accumulation of such negative experiences among buyers, in the long run, leads to losses and missed benefits for the construction entrepreneurs themselves, and also for those honest companies that perform their duties qualitatively and conscientiously.

In practice, most client-buyers do not have the necessary long-term experience, do not know the market and do not have sufficient in-depth knowledge of processes and trends, nor do they have sufficient information and impressions about the construction entrepreneur himself, his experience and solidity, as well as do not know his financial situation, and therefore his real capabilities to implement one or another project. This is especially true for investments in other cities, or in foreign markets, where the client has neither local knowledge nor local connections and contacts with whom he can consult. Sometimes even experience, connections and contacts do not help in checking and analyzing a project and/or construction company. Professionals know that the reputation of each construction company is earned over many years of successful work, but is preserved and strengthened constantly and daily. This implies the ability to track the current and permanent status and performance of each construction and entrepreneurial company in whose properties we wish to invest. Unfortunately, this is an impossible task for most private investors in properties in newly constructed buildings and projects. That is why a responsible and loyal broker-consultant comes to the rescue, whose professional duties include in-depth and daily work with construction entrepreneurs of different types and calibers. We believe that selecting solid construction companies, evaluating their projects and constantly monitoring their activity, working form and financial condition is the only and correct approach to marketing, sales and attracting buyers and investors for new construction projects.

Stonehard PREMIER places these principles at the top of its work pedestal! The selection and selection of developers whose projects we provide to our clients is extremely strict. We believe that the right choice of projects and construction companies is directly related to our own reputation and our status as a trusted consultant for many private investors and buyers who rely on our professional experience and recommendations in determining their own decisions for investments in new construction properties.

How we select the projects and construction contractors offered in the Stonehard PREMIER portfolio:

• We prefer to work with proven construction companies whose reputation has been built over many years and is based on numerous successfully completed projects;
• Solid builders offer their properties at higher prices and with lower commissions for us brokers! And this is completely normal and acceptable! Every proven builder knows the price of his quality product, and it is our duty to protect it in front of our buyer in an appropriate manner and by highlighting the advantages and characteristics of each such project;
• We do not work with new and unproven construction companies. For us, the attractive terms they offer, both to our clients and to ourselves, in the form of remuneration for a sale are irrelevant;
• All relatively new construction companies are subjected to a rigorous review by us, primarily looking at the experience and reputation of its founders and managers. Very often, even though the construction company is new, its managers are extremely experienced and have a wealth of expertise from other older and proven companies where they have worked before;
• Each construction company is also analyzed based on its financial statements (past and current), availability of financing (own or attracted), relationships with banks, established partnerships with construction and installation contractors, or subcontractors in narrow specialties and technologies. We often also track the professional history of the construction company by conducting interviews and seeking recommendations from our trusted contractors who have worked with the company in question in the past;
• We carefully analyze each project, no matter which construction contractor it is. The analysis of the project takes place in several stages, mainly monitoring its location, concept and design strategy, efficiency of land use and natural features of the location, functionality and amenities of the building/complex, construction standards such as work, technologies and materials used. In addition, we review the reputation of the architectural bureau that prepared the project, as we are also interested in the designers of the specialties. We also closely monitor the financing of the project implementation, for which purpose we collect information on the attracted capital (e.g. bank target financing), the entrepreneur's own capital, incoming contributions from "green" sales in the construction process and other sources; If we notice shortcomings in some points, we signal to the construction contractor and give a recommendation for corrections in order to increase the quality of the entire project;
• We participate in the design process itself - this applies mainly to projects on which we work with exclusive or co-exclusive rights. To this end, we provide valuable advice and recommendations regarding the concept of the building/complex, extras, materials, design, technologies and overall implementation;
• We participate in the pricing of the units of property in the project - this applies mainly to projects with exclusive and co-exclusive rights. Very often, the developers themselves consult us or directly assign us to determine the prices of each of the properties in the building/complex, based on the inherent characteristics of the specific property and its attractiveness (e.g., exposure and views, floor, distribution of the premises, size of the premises, convenience and comfort of use, etc.;
• We assist construction entrepreneurs with legal support, drafting contracts, collecting contributions and of course communication between them and the buyers and investors we provide. Very often, construction companies receive assistance from our legal, commercial and administrative departments in carrying out various administrative and legal actions related to the purchase of properties from our clients in their projects;
• The constant monitoring of the construction of each of the selected projects is something that Stonehard MARKETING practices without fail in its business practice. For all projects that we offer with exclusive and co-exclusive rights, we also prepare regular monthly reports on the progress of construction with photos, video footage and detailed text information, and provide them to our clients;
• NO COMMISSION for new construction projects: Stonehard MARKETING works without commissions, without fees and without remuneration from the buyer for the primary sale of a new construction property directly from the construction and development company (primary sale). For properties on the secondary market, we collect a small commission from the buyer, as well as from the seller (if the property was not purchased with us during the primary sale);
• Our lawyers check the project and construction documents: Part of our service to our clients is also
• Our lawyers and administrators solve problems: In the event of any problems and obstructions related to the construction of the property purchased by our client, we provide full-time specialists and administrators of Stonehard MARKETING who will assist in the complete elimination of the problems;
• Mortgage financing of the purchase: Through our "sister" company SUPER CREDIT, we provide our clients with mortgage financing from multiple local banks. To this end, we assist our clients in preparing the necessary documents and submit a loan application to several banks. We compare the prices and conditions of each of the received offers and give the client a professional recommendation on which financing offer to choose;
• Assistance in purchasing a property in any currency: We maintain close contacts with proven online currency exchange platforms, through which almost any currency could be exchanged directly into its local currency equivalent, in which the payment of the price of the purchased property should be made;
• Assistance in purchasing property with cryptocurrency: We can offer a working and profitable solution for each of our clients who decides to purchase property with cryptocurrency. It applies to all popular cryptocurrencies and almost all world destinations;
• Negotiating special prices and terms with the developer: Stonehard PREMIER consultants can negotiate special prices and terms for almost any of the proposed projects, provided that the Buyer plans to purchase more properties or to enter with a larger initial payment. Depending on the specific capabilities of the buyer for a more serious entry into the project, we, in turn, can enter into serious negotiations with the developer, and provide you with special purchase terms that are not available in the standard price lists;
• Getting into a project before the official sales start: As a long-standing and proven player in the new construction market, we at Stonehard are the first to learn about upcoming projects. This is largely due to our special relationships with real estate developers, many of whom entrust us with the sales of their projects on an exclusive mandate. That is why information about new projects comes to us
• Secondary resale WITHOUT COMMISSION: For every client who has purchased a property from us in a new construction project, we provide the opportunity for secondary resale of the property without commission (applies to properties with exclusive rights granted by the seller). The same applies to resale of properties purchased by our clients for the purpose of "flipping" (speculative resale with the aim of generating a quick profit), during construction or soon after its completion;
• Financial bonus for furniture: For a large part of the projects we offer, we provide a financial bonus for the purchase of furniture, in the form of a real sum of money, which our buyer receives, along with the keys to their property. The offer is valid only for projects that are explicitly marked with the FINANCIAL BONUS FOR FURNITURE label;
• After-sales service: Stonehard MARKETING has local representatives or contractors in all destinations where we offer properties for sale. With the help of our local contractors, connections and contacts with proven specialized companies or experts, we can offer a full range of after-sales service to our clients. Including, upon request and for an additional fee, we can provide our clients with interior design, repairs and decoration, furnishing and furnishing of the purchased properties. As well as a number of additional services such as property management and maintenance, insurance, cleaning, repairs, rental and tenant management. In addition to additional property-related services, our representatives can also assist in opening bank accounts in local banks, company registration, arranging permanent residence (Residency) in the country where the property is purchased and many others;

Today, from the perspective of our almost 30 years of experience, we at Stonehard MARKETING believe that the quantity of new projects we offer is not important. The price of the properties is also not so decisive for the success of a project. The most important thing is the quality of the project and the solidity of the builder! Quality projects, no matter how expensive they are, always increase their price over time. This means that you cannot lose money on a quality project, regardless of
