How it works

Five steps from a written brief to a signed apartment

Every stage has a defined output, so you know what you receive before the next one starts.

  1. Brief intake

    We put your preferred neighborhoods, apartment size, must-have infrastructure, and purchase budget into one written brief. Anything outside the brief stays out of the search.

  2. District review

    Each neighborhood is checked against your criteria: transport, shops, schools, parks, and the housing stock that actually matches your budget range.

  3. Apartment shortlist

    You receive a shortlist with the address area, floor, size, price, and the reason each apartment made the cut. Availability is verified at the time of review.

  4. Viewings

    Viewings are scheduled in a single route where possible, and we record what you liked or rejected so the next shortlist gets sharper.

  5. Negotiation support

    We help you compare offers, question the price, and check the documents before you commit. The final decision and signature are always yours.

Next: see what to prepare for the first call, or send your criteria through the search brief form.

Before the search

What to prepare for your search brief

A written brief keeps the shortlist short. Bring these six answers to your first call and we can start filtering apartments the same week.

  1. 01

    Purchase budget

    The total you can spend and how much of it is your own funds. Tell us if a mortgage is planned, because that changes which listings are realistic for you.

  2. 02

    Preferred districts

    Name two or three neighborhoods you like and one you would avoid. If you commute daily, note where to, so we can weigh transport time against price.

  3. 03

    Number of rooms

    State the room count you need and whether a separate kitchen or a studio layout is acceptable. A spare room for guests or a home office is worth mentioning early.

  4. 04

    Size range in square meters

    Give a floor and a ceiling rather than a single figure. A range of ten to fifteen square meters usually keeps a good number of apartments in the list.

  5. 05

    Infrastructure you rely on

    Metro within walking distance, a school or kindergarten, a clinic, parking, a park. Rank them, since not every building can satisfy the full set.

  6. 06

    Timeline and decision makers

    Say when you would like to close and who else takes part in the decision. Viewings move faster when everyone who signs is in the same conversation.

Fees and boundaries

What the service costs, and where it stops

cloudstyorage.com is an independent real estate agency and search advisory. It is not a government body, a municipal service, or a party to your purchase contract. Everything below is confirmed to you in writing before any work starts.

Commission is disclosed first
Agency commission and any additional service costs are set out in writing before the search brief is opened. No percentage appears for the first time at a viewing or at signing.
One written brief, one scope
Your brief fixes the preferred neighborhoods, apartment size, required infrastructure, and purchase budget. Work outside that brief is quoted separately and only after you agree.
Availability can change
Shortlists reflect apartments available at the time of search. Listings can be withdrawn or repriced by owners, and terms may change before a viewing.
Confirmation before any transaction
Nothing is charged and no transaction is initiated until you confirm the fee terms in writing. You approve each step before it happens.
Legal and valuation work sits outside
Contract drafting, title verification opinions, and formal valuations are carried out by licensed professionals you instruct directly. We hand over the documents, we do not replace them.

The full wording lives in the Fees and Commissions Disclosure and the Terms of Service. Still deciding whether to start? Read the next step or send your brief through the contact form.

Your next step

One short brief, then a shortlist you can actually visit

Write down the neighborhoods you prefer, the size of apartment you need, the infrastructure that matters and the budget you can work with. We read it, confirm the fee in writing, and only then start arranging viewings.

  • Your criteria stay on the record, in one place.
  • Commission and any extra costs are confirmed before work starts.
  • Viewings are scheduled only for apartments that fit the brief.
