History
2006 — The luxury estate market is feasible in Bulgaria, too
Unique Estates was founded in 2006 by two partners, Vessela Ilieva and Hristo Iliev, who strongly believed that there is space for a luxury estate market in Bulgaria as well. Unique Estates was the pioneer in the luxury segment of the Bulgarian property market and has been continually strengthening its leading position in this specific domain.
2007 — We set a steady foothold in the international market
International actors were quick to recognize the founders’ courage and excellence. In 2007 Unique Estates became an exclusive partner of Christie’s International Real Estate — the largest network of agents specialized in the marketing and sale of real estate. The companies in Christie’s family have 850 offices and nearly 35,000 realtors in more than 35 countries. With the wind of that partnership in its sails, our company has confidently embarked on the international market and is able to offer to its clients excellent properties in Bulgaria and across the globe.
2016 — Unique Estates joins the largest family of luxury estate companies in the world
Unique Estates is a member of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World (LeadingRE) — the largest network of leading real estate companies in the world. The network brings to the market more than 50,000 remarkable homes, while its website draws 3+ million visitors. LeadingRE sets the standards for excellence in the luxury segment. On the wings of passionate work, professionalism and commitment to development, in 2016 our company became the exclusive partner for Bulgaria of Luxury Portfolio International® (LPI) — the luxury facet of the network. Membership in LPI is possible only by invitation. LPI represents properties in more than 70 countries. Being part of this exclusive club has enabled us cooperate and exchange experience with the best-in-class agencies in New York, Paris, London and elsewhere. The LPI website is available in nine languages, handles multiple currencies and offers properties worth more than $54 billion in total with an average price in the range of $2.6 million. The group also benefits from the experience of the most trusted and prominent experts in the global luxury property market. The combined experience of LPI members in the exclusive market for top-tier properties adds up to dozens of years.
2019 — A new office at a prime location
In line with our development goals, business expansion strategy and willingness to be close to our clients, in the end of 2010 Unique Estates opened a new modern office at a prime location in Sofia at 10 Oborishte Street — just across the Doctors’ Garden. The location at the very heart of Sofia is a natural choice, while the interior design combines the latest trends related to the implementation of modern technologies in the daily work with elegant branding concepts.
