Only five foreign companies have shown interest to invest in real estate in Romania this year, at Expo Real Munich, one of the largest property exhibitions in Europe, compared to over 142 investors interested in 2007, said Tuesday the president of consulting company.
“If in 2007, there were 142 foreign investors interested in the real-estate sector in Romania, in 2008 their number dropped to 35 invesetors, so as this year, at Expo Real Munchen, one of the biggest real-estate fairs in Europe, only 5

      Doar cinci companii straine s-au aratat interesate sa investeasca in acest an in sectorul imobiliar dinRomania, la Expo Real Munchen, una dintre cele mai mari expozitii de imobiliare din Europa, fata de 142 investitori interesati in 2007, a declarat marti CEO-ul unei companii de consultanta.
      “Daca in 2007, erau 142 de investitori straini intersati de sectorul imobiliar din Romania, in 2008 numarul acestora a scazut la 35 investitori, pentru ca in acest an, la Expo Real Munchen, una dintre cele mai mari expozitii de imobiliare din Europa, numai cinci companii s-au aratat interesate de investitii in acest sector. Romania nu prezinta interes pentru investitori. Acesti investitori au avut cerinte foarte clare referitoare la piata din Romania, insa au o parere proasta despre modul in care se fac aici afacerile”, a declarat marti, in cadrul unei conferinte de presa directorul general al MORE Real Estate Services, Ilias Papageorgiadis.
      Cele cinci companii straine sunt interesate de proprietati care genereaza venituri, de terenuri agricole, de energii alternative si cultivarea de paduri sau alte proiecte in agricultura, a mai spus Ilias Papageorgiadis. Totodata, acesta nu a dezvaluit numele acestor companii.
      CEO-ul MORE Real Estate Services a mentionat faptul ca nu ar trebui sa tratam investitorii straini care vin in Romania ca pe oameni fraieri, care nu stiu ce cumpara. “Ba chiar ei stiu ca sunt pacaliti. Altfel, daca romanul nu isi schimba atitudinea, acestia nu vor mai veni sa investeasca si anul urmator”, a afirmat Ilias Papageorgiadis.
      Reprezentantul companiei de consultanta a impartit totodata investitorii in trei categorii, in functie de perioada in care si-au demarat investitiile in Romania: cei veniti pana in 2003, cei care au demarat investitii intre 2004 si 2006 si cei care au sosit in ultimii trei ani. In ceea ce priveste atitudinea investitorilor romani din ultimii ani, de pe piata imobiliara, acesta a precizat ca “daca in 2005-2006, era vorba de optimism, in 2007 - aroganta, in 2008 - negarea realitatii, iar in 2009, trebuie sa ne trezim dintr-un somn adanc”.

Conferinta Expo Real Munchen a avut loc intre 5 si 8 octombrie 2009.

biliare_in_romania,_fata_de_142_companii,_in_2007.html companies showed interest in this sector. Romania does not present interest for the investors. These investors had very clear demands referring to the romanian market, but they have a very bad opinion on how people do business here”, the Managaing Director of MORE Real Estate Services, Ilias Papageorgiadis, has declared Tuesday during a press conference.
      The 5 foreign companies are interested in income properties, agricultural lands, alternative energies and cultivating forests or other agricultural projects, Ilias Ppageorgiadis also said. At the same time, he didn’t disclose the name of these companies.
      MORE Real Estate Services’ CEO mentioned the fact that we should not treat the foreign investors who come to Romania as people who can be fooled, who don’t know what they are buying.”On the contrary, they know they are being fooled. Therefore, if the Romanian doesn’t change his attitude, they will not come to invest the next year”, Ilias Papageorgiadis said.
      The representative of the consultancy company classified the investors in 3 categories, according to the period they started their investments in Romania: the ones who came before 2003, the ones who started investing between 2004-2006, and the ones arrived in the past 3 years.
      Regarding the attitude of the Romanian investors on the real-estate market during the past 3 years, he noted that ” if between 2005-2006 it was all about optimism, in 2007 - arrogance, in 2008 - denial of reality, in 2009 we have to wake up from a deep sleep”.

The Expo Real Munchen Conference took place between 5-8 of October 2009.

MORE Real Estate Services is a consultancy company which entered the Romanian market in 2004. So far, the company consulted transactions with a value of over 400 mil euros.
