Lars Vandeberg
Rotterdam, Netherlands
Private investor · Buy-to-let portfolio
“I never once flew out to sign a document. Arbora handled the title search, the company formation and the furnishing — I saw the first tenant contract before I saw the villa in person.”
Sarandë Heights — Waterfront Villa
Lars had spent two years watching the Albanian coast from a distance, unwilling to commit capital to a market he could not verify. Arbora opened with a title audit on three shortlisted properties — two failed. The third, a contemporary villa above Sarandë, cleared full due diligence in eleven days. We formed his Albanian holding structure, negotiated a 6% reduction against the asking price, and delivered the residence furnished and rental-ready before high season.
Sofia Marchetti
Milan, Italy
Family office · Long-hold residence
“We wanted something our children would keep, not something we would flip. Arbora understood that difference immediately and stopped showing us apartments.”
Olive Hill Estate — Berat
Sofia's family office was looking for a legacy asset rather than a yield line. We redirected the search inland, to a restored stone estate in the highlands above Berat, and spent four months resolving a fragmented inheritance title across five heirs before a single euro moved. The estate now operates as a private family residence with selective summer letting through our concierge desk, covering its own running costs.
Off-plan investor · Two units
“Off-plan is where people lose money quietly. Having someone on site every month, sending me photographs and permit numbers, is the entire product.”
Marina Bay Towers — Vlorë
Karim entered at the founder round of a waterfront marina development, taking two units at pre-release pricing with staged payments tied to construction milestones. Arbora verified the developer's permit chain and escrow arrangement before entry, and has since walked the site monthly. One unit is earmarked for resale on completion; the second enters our buy-to-let programme with a furnishing package already specified.
