• Leave Aside any Emotions: You must put your personal feelings about the property aside.  Feeling in this case has nothing to do with buyers or tenants except that they are looking for a place to make their home.  In keeping with this principle, you have to view your property as objectively as possible and advertise it like the property anybody can easily acquire. Foytina does acknowledge this!

Cyprus Property Valuation By Foytina
