Three sets of eyes on one property
I have worked in each of these roles myself, so I look at a property from three sides and see what a normal viewing won't show you.
What the building is made of
Five years on construction sites and my own concrete plant: I know a building from the foundation up.
Which walls are load-bearing and what can really be changed
Quality of the frame, facade and utilities, not just the finish
What a renovation will actually cost
Where the developer cut corners that will show in a year

From a builders' trailer to deals with Kaspi
I came to Almaty from Shymkent in 2010 with no place to live and no connections. Everything I know about property I learned with my hands and my own money.
2010
Construction
Lived in a builders' trailer and installed the facade of the Atakent hotel.
2011–2015
Turnkey houses
Four years in a crew, learning how a building works from the inside.
2016
Renovation and flipping
Bought unfinished apartments, renovated and sold them. 15 cycles.
2019
Concrete plant
Launched a concrete business: Dalila Group LLP with its own batching plant in Burunday. Sold the project profitably after the lockdown.
2020
My own business
Chose the site for a Salam Bro burger place in Kaskelen and sold it at its peak.
2022
Kaspi Bank
Selected premises and negotiated at management level. That is where my service standard comes from: fast, clear, one person responsible.

Frequently asked questions
What does paid support for newcomers include?
A rental for your first months, viewings of properties to buy, checks on the owner and documents, the deal itself, and help with a tax ID, bank account and LLP through partners. Scope and price are agreed in writing before we start.
How much does a real estate agent cost in Almaty?
My fee starts at 1% of the deal value. The exact rate depends on the task and is agreed in writing before work starts. There are no hidden charges.
Can a foreigner buy an apartment in Almaty?
Yes. Housing is registered to a foreign individual who holds a residence permit. Without one, you can buy through a Kazakh LLP or choose commercial property. I confirm the route for your case with a notary in advance.
What makes you different from other agents?
I built houses, flipped 15 apartments myself and selected sites for Kaspi. So I assess a property as a builder, an investor and a lawyer, not just show it.
Do you work with commercial property?
Yes, it's one of my strengths. I analyse footfall, road access, average spend and demand in the area. Magnum stores were opened using this kind of analysis.
Can I buy property in Kazakhstan remotely?
Yes. You need a tax ID (IIN), a notarised power of attorney and electronic registration. I show the property on video and we review the documents together.
Which languages do you speak?
English, Russian and Kazakh. I explain documents and contracts in the language you're comfortable with.
Do you only handle luxury property?
No. I help with any purchase where a mistake would be costly: a first home, a family apartment, business premises or an investment.
Can you help with relocation and residency?
Yes, together with partner lawyers. I'll explain how to open an LLP, arrange employment and which residency grounds may apply, and find housing that fits your new status.
