I live in the U.S. and my mom used to live in Usti nad Labem, Czech Republic. I had hired Mr. Ciboch to sell my mom’s apartment when the time came for her to transition to a nursing home. My mom and myself met with Mr. Ciboch in person, showed him the apartment and started the paperwork. Subsequently, I helped to coordinate the sale from overseas.
The one difference compared to the U.S. is that in the Czech Republic in general, the seller’s realtor will by default also represent the buyer (dual agency). It was explained to me that this is the norm. There were no problems whatsoever and the whole transaction
went very smoothly. When the time came to finalize the paperwork, Mr. Ciboch and the notary he’d brought along stopped by mom’s facility and got things done, with minimum effort on her side.
My mom got a better price than she expected. Communication with Mr. Ciboch was great, and we were kept appraised
as to what was going on every step of the way. He was very professional and exceedingly patient dealing with my family.
A very positive experience overall, as a matter of fact better than dealing with the realtors in the U.S. I would definitely use him again.
