Samolet Plus has invented a new profession in real estate Samolet Plus conditionally divides each city into districts called "hexes." Each hex has its own neighborhood pro who works at Samolet Plus. Dmitriy Gorbenko, Director of Development at Samolet Plus, explained who the neighborhood pros are and why the market needs such experts: “Neighborhood pro is a living encyclopedia of a hex. They live there, know when each house was built and how many kindergartens, schools and shops are located nearby. This specialist will help residents not only with a piece of advice but also with choosing a good apartment, arranging renovation, ordering furniture and even moving." One can find neighborhood pros not only in Samolet Plus office but also in any residential chat 👍🏻

Principles that modern corporations abide by The international real estate market is developing at a rapid pace. New trends are emerging that are increasingly visible in the information space. Here are the principles that Samolet Plus focuses on: Mixed use development This is an architectural concept describing a building, complex, or block of flats which combines spaces with different functions. Our clients appreciate it when everything they need is nearby. They can visit the Plane Plus office and enjoy a cup of coffee from a nice local coffee shop, all within the residential area. Example: Hudson Yards in the USA. It is a neighborhood with offices, a hotel, apartments, a shopping center, a school and public spaces. Proptech It is a complex of digital and economic solutions for the construction, purchase and sale of real estate. It derives from the merging of the words property and technology. Example: digital mortgage. ESG, environmental, social, governance This is a set of rules and approaches for doing business that contributes to its sustainable development. The ESG concept assumes responsibility for the future. Business can not only generate income, but also bring benefits — to society and the environment.   Not examples, but principles — responsible attitude to natural resources, social responsibility and transparency.

Neighborliness is a new trend in real estate When neighbors solve problems together and spend their spare time doing so, their lives become much more comfortable. This is because neighborhood communities are not only useful for residents, but also for developers. This is why: 🔷The culture of good neighborliness creates a warm and friendly atmosphere, which increases the prestige of the residential complex and attracts more potential apartment buyers. 🔷Neighborhood communities are an underestimated source of ideas for optimizing projects, because only residents know how to improve their neighborhood. Our agents are members of these communities and are personally acquainted with the residents and their needs and concerns. The neighbors trust us. If necessary, the neighborhood pros will help them, or recommend a suitable apartment nearby.

How an agent can increase their income One of the perks of working in real estate is that there is no glass ceiling. Vera Zaitseva, partner of Samolet Plus, explains what makes up an agent's income and how they can increase it. ✔️The path to specialization. We help newcomers try their hand in the primary and secondary rental markets, as well as in the sales of cross-services. It is essential to take into consideration their interests, expertise, aspirations, and life circumstances when making this decision. ✔️Renting is a good start for beginners. An agent immediately starts communicating with clients, visiting objects, and getting a guaranteed monthly income. ✔️First sales. As a rule, everyone starts by selling new housing. As the agent's reputation grows and their customer base expands, they receive requests in the secondary market. ✔️Cross-services. An agent may earn extra income by offering additional services, such as renovation, furnishing, cleaning, and assistance with moving. They can also sell insurance products to their clients. In order to grow in income, it is crucial to continuously develop the basic skills of an agent. These include knowledge of the market, psychology, and law, as well as sales and negotiation abilities. For this, Samolet Plus provides its employees with ready-made technological solutions and access to corporate training programs.
