My Approach

Methodology

I work founder-led: I personally handle the analysis, the negotiating logic and the key decisions. No unnecessary office, staff or infrastructure that usually gets billed through large-firm invoices. Scope: I organise and coordinate the pre-deal review. Legal opinion is issued by an engaged licensed lawyer, technical opinion by a domain specialist, tax opinion by a consultant. I consolidate the findings into a single investment picture.

• Open-ended property hunting with no specific brief. I don't take on searches like “send me apartment options” or “what land is available in such-and-such area” — that's realtor research, not advisory work. I come in when there's a specific deal, property or hypothesis that needs to be tested.
• General questions with no context about you. “What ideas do you have?” or “where should I invest?” — I don't suggest ready-made directions without understanding who I'm working with: experience, budget, involvement, goals. If that's your case, it's better to talk first and define a direction than to get a random list of ideas that may not fit.
• Guaranteed returns. I don't quote an expected annual percentage or promise results in advance — too many variables depend on the specific project, the market and execution. I show the risks and the economics; the decision always stays with the investor.
• Schemes that circumvent the law. I don't take part in structures whose purpose is to bypass Georgian tax, currency or other regulation, even if formally it sounds like “optimisation”.
• Representing both sides of a deal. I work for the investor. If I already represent the seller or another party in a deal, I don't take it on simultaneously from the buyer's side — that's a conflict of interest.
