Uus Maa Real Estate Bureau resumes its business in Latvia
\n<\/b>In March this year, UMPA Latvia, a subsidiary of Uus Maa Property Advisors, will commence business in Latvia, focusing primarily on investment advisory and consultancy services.
\nThe business operations of UMPA Latvia will be overseen by Aigars \u017darins, a long-term cooperation partner of Uus Maa who has been active on the property market for 20 years and serves as an executive of the Baltic Multinational Chapter of the International Real Estate Federation (FIABCI).
\n\u201cLatvia\u2019s property market received a much harder hit during the crisis than the Estonian market and is only now showing first signs of recovery. We believe that commencing our activities at this moment creates a firm basis for successful business,\u201d said Ardi Roosimaa, board member of UMPA Latvia.
\n\u201cMany investors are currently looking for higher rates of return, which would justify the risks associated with complicated global economy. Latvia has demonstrated strong macroeconomic results, providing us with a reason to believe that the private sector, including the property market, will start to grow in the coming years to catch up with the neighbouring markets. The investment services provided by UMPA are based on a long history of international experience and cooperation,\u201d Roosimaa explained.
\n\u201eToday is the right moment to start this business, because Latvian real estate market starts to recover from the biggest drop in the world. Investors usually look to the Baltic States as a whole and this would be the first step for a growth. We already have extensive experience working with corporate clients, and now have the opportunity to separate this business scope to focus and to give our clients superior service. Establishment of UMPA Latvia is the first step to serve the entire Baltic region as a whole and provide better quality service to our clients,\u201d commented Aigars \u017darins, Chairman of the Board at UMPA Latvia.<\/p>\n
