Who provides the service
This website is operated by Mladen Tićak, licensed real estate agent (license no. 219/2025, listed in the register of real estate agents), working with DUX Nekretnine. Contact: mladen@dux-istra.com, +385 97 775 2147. Brokerage services are provided through the authorised agency under a written brokerage agreement and the agency's general terms.
Information and free tools
The guides, calculator, checklist and orientation tool are general, educational and indicative. They are not a binding valuation, tax calculation, legal opinion, technical assessment or brokerage offer, and using them does not create a brokerage agreement. Information from listings may be incomplete or out of date, and laws and rates change. I try to keep this website accurate, but you should confirm important points for your case with a qualified professional.
Consultations
Conversations with me and a look at the listings and documents you send carry no fee, however many you need, and I do not charge by the hour or by the day. They are a practical orientation and not an unlimited legal, technical or tax review.
Buyer brokerage fee
For clients under a brokerage agreement, the buyer's brokerage fee is 3% of the agreed purchase price plus 25% VAT on the fee, which is 3.75% of the price including VAT. For example, on a purchase price of €300,000 the fee is €9,000 plus €2,250 VAT, a total of €11,250. The brokerage agreement sets out when the fee becomes due and the other conditions. The VAT rate is the rate in force at the time.
What is included
- Property search and viewings, seller communication and negotiation.
- Review of the documents provided and coordination of specialist checks.
- Assistance with obtaining a Croatian OIB.
- Coordination of Croatian-language contract preparation and the agreed legal assistance, with no additional lawyer fee.
- Coordination of signing, payment, registry application and handover.
What is charged separately
Certified translations and interpreting when needed, notary fees, court and registry fees, property transfer tax, bank and mortgage costs, and specialist services you commission separately, such as a surveyor, architect, engineer or valuer, and legal work outside the agreed scope. Where I can foresee such a cost, I explain it before it is incurred.
Properties outside the agency's portfolio
You can share any listing and we can talk it through. Further work on a property outside the agency's own portfolio is possible only where the documents, the seller's cooperation and a proper basis for brokerage allow it. I will tell you before you commit to anything.
No guarantees
I do not guarantee that any purchase is free of risk, that a property is legally built or structurally sound, or that a particular outcome will be reached. Statements are labelled by their source: what an advert claims, what documents show, what I have checked, and what a specialist must confirm. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
