Real Estate Agents in Cyprus: How to Choose and Vet an Agent or Advisor

Every real estate agent in Cyprus must be registered with the Real Estate Agents Registration Council and hold a current annual licence. Most are paid by the seller, typically 3–5% plus VAT. A buyer-side advisor works from your brief instead. Here is how to tell them apart, how to check any agent in two minutes, and how we introduce vetted ones.
