Property Forum is excited to announce the first edition of its annual listing of the 100 most influential people in the CEE real estate market. To access the publication, fill out the pop-up window that shows up when opening any Property Forum news story. 


Within these pages, you’ll discover a curated list of the 100 most impactful figures in CEE’s real estate landscape, along with insightful interviews and articles covering a wide array of relevant topics. This list was meticulously compiled based on factors such as market share, both local and global rankings, historical and current market activities, plans for growth, participation in major deals of 2024, and presence in media, events, and social media.

Additionally, for a deeper perspective, we’ve included a special list highlighting the most active marketing professionals in real estate. Their tireless efforts to promote their companies — both within the industry and to the wider public — are instrumental in shaping the sector's reputation within the business community. We felt it was time to give them an opportunity to introduce themselves and their work.

We hope you find as much enjoyment in reading this publication as we did in putting it together, and we look forward to updating this list in 2025, as even more dealmakers and thought-leaders rise within the industry.

In case the pop-up window does not show up for you and you can't access the publication, please drop us an e-mail at info@property-forum.eu.
