I understand that a law (?) was passed that as of last month all Croatian Estate agents had to be "registered".
I think that this just meant with the Croatian Chamber of Commerce.
Does anyone know of the exact detail -and whether it is a good safeguard for novice purchasers?
And if it is ,where is the list with these names on ?

Pretend you are buying a second hand car in the UK, or your country. IF your country has some standards, accountable to the law. In other words...trust no-one. Get an Engish speaking solictor. And get all the proof set in stone...not concrete. People will be people. They don't give a monkey's uncle. They are after your commission. Nothing else. From my vast experience of life....yawn. I really do doubt if Croatia is up to 'registered lists' of anything, yet. And the UK Embassies are USELESS, from my experience. Totally and completely. UK Embassies cost me unnecessary money, for nothing. And remember, most poeple cannot lie straight in bed. That's a great standard to have in your mind. Be careful to the extreme. My Croatian wife reckons Croatia has different laws. I don't agree with her. Laws right are laws right, but. Still get it absolutely straight before commiting yourself to anything. That's about it. Ignore it if you like.

It is like any bussines in world. The best solutions is old and big company, they have lot experience what is most important. Many new firms open office, because they think that is easy way to earn money, but these firms could be dangerous for buyers, expecialy in proces of buying land, and old stone house!
In all Croatia working maybe 15-20 good companies, others (about 2000) only want to sale something.
In HGK (Croatian chambers of economy) section real estate, you could have the better information. It's not formal, because the oldest and the biggest companies have many meetings and they signed many documents which protect their clients.
The good real estate office must have all kinds of workers which can lead alone buying proces from begining to the end, without anyone outside the company, except the notary.
Most companies have only an agent who show property to buyers, and they don't know anything about buying proces or if they do know, it is not much.
And something about foreign agents in Croatia.
What do you think if some Croatian agent now come in England, and he want to be a real estate agent.
How long must he stay there, and learn before starting the business?
How long must he workto be better than british agent, if that is possible?
