The International Desk

The International Desk is your single point of contact in Warsaw for buying property in another country. Behind it stands the global Engel & Völkers network – local colleagues and market expertise, connected across borders. You tell us what you have in mind and what matters to you. We help you work out which market fits, we bring in the right people on the ground, and we coordinate the whole process from Warsaw – in Polish. The local agent, the lawyer, the notary, documents in a language you don't know: we keep it all connected, so you don't have to. Which means you don't have to work out who to trust. In an unfamiliar market, every recommendation comes from someone with an interest in the deal. We know who we trust to work with.

Why Start Here

Every plan starts as an idea. The earlier you talk to us about yours, the more we can help. Our colleagues abroad know their markets inside out. That is exactly why we work with them. What we add is the Polish side of the purchase: we know how it looks from here, we speak your language, and we can sit down with you on a Tuesday afternoon – at our office on Krakowskie Przedmieście, or in your favorite café in Mokotów.

Premium access through the E&V network

That international reach is the reason we can show you what the portals can't. Off-market villas that never go public. Premium developments before the first brochure exists. Properties that change hands before they ever reach the market. Through the International Desk you can reach opportunities that may never appear publicly – in every country where Engel & Völkers has an office, and through our global contacts, beyond.

Who you'll be talking to

The International Desk is an Engel & Völkers Warsaw service, run by our team here together with Engel & Völkers colleagues in the country you are buying in. Your first point of contact is Sylwia Małczyńska, who leads it.

She knows what buying abroad involves, because she has done it herself: moved to another country, bought a home there, worked through the procedures, the paperwork and the language. That experience, and her access to the Engel & Völkers network, is what she brings to your purchase.

The process

How it works, in three steps.

1.
Tell us what you have in mind
You don't need to know the country yet, or have a finished brief. A second home, an investment, a place for a child studying abroad – tell us the idea and we'll take it from there.
2.
We help you find the right direction
What to check first, what's different in that market, what usually surprises Polish buyers. We compare markets and priorities with you, then identify the right local Engel & Völkers expertise and search across the network – including properties that never reach the public portals.
3.
We connect you and coordinate
Your local advisor handles the market and the transaction on the ground. We stay your point of contact in Warsaw and keep the whole process connected – until the keys are in your hand.
