The valuation department of the Cushman & Wakefield Echinox has evaluated over 700 properties in 2017 with a cumulative value of €3.1 billion, while estimating an increase of 33% of the valuation volume, to the level of €4 billion during this year.
Bogdan Sergentu, Head of Valuations & Consulting, Cushman & Wakefield Echinox: „The local real estate market is going through a positive period due to a growing demand on all segments, which is also reflected in the property values. After a year such as 2017, during which we had a consistent volume of activity, we consolidated our position on the market and integrated ourselves into the global Cushman & Wakefield network, we estimate an increase of the valuation volume of 33% for 2018. This result will be achieved by attracting new customers with vast, multisectoral portfolios, and expanding the team by recruiting both experienced and newly emerging valuers."
