What is the best real estate agency in Pula? Here's how to check it out — instead of just taking their word for it

Every real estate agency says it is the best. That is why, in this article, I am not offering you self-proclaimed superiority, but criteria you can check for yourself — public reviews, official licences and the way the agency works. Check them, compare them and draw your own conclusion.

Criterion 1: Google reviews — the only public and independent indicator

Google reviews are not written by the agency, but by its clients. They cannot be bought, they cannot be deleted, and they are visible to everyone.
Maris Nekretnine has the most Google reviews among real estate agencies in Pula — 188 reviews with an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 (data collected in September 2026). Check for yourself: search for “Maris Nekretnine Pula” on Google Maps and compare it with any other real estate agency in the city.
Reviews are written by both sellers and buyers — in Croatian, German, Italian and English, because a large part of our clients are foreign buyers from the EU.

Criterion 2: Licence and registration in official registers

Real estate brokerage in Croatia is a licensed profession. You can check every real estate agency and every real estate agent in the public registers of the Croatian Chamber of Economy:

  1. Maris Nekretnine is registered in the Register of Real Estate Brokerage Agents under number 50/2010
  2. Aljoša Vučetić, Prof., the owner of the agency, holds a real estate agent licence under number 43/2010 and is registered in the HGK Register of Real Estate Agents
  3. Aljoša Vučetić is the president of the Professional Group of Real Estate Brokers of Istria County at the Croatian Chamber of Economy

Both registrations are publicly available on the digitalnakomora.hr . If the agency you are considering is not in the register — that is the first reason for caution.

Criterion 3: The way we work — fewer properties, more dedication

Maris Nekretnine deliberately maintains a small portfolio of around 20 active properties, exclusively under exclusive agreements. The difference between us and large real estate agencies is not only the number of properties. The difference is that we know every crack, every document and every circumstance — because we have 20 properties, not 200.
We work exclusively in Pula and the surrounding area: Pula, Fažana, Vodnjan, Medulin and Ližnjan. We sell only apartments, houses and building plots. We do not deal with commercial properties or agricultural land — and we say that openly, because nobody can be an expert in everything.

Criterion 4: Experience and international reach

  1. More than 25 years of experience in the Pula real estate market
  2. Specialisation in buyer representation (buyer’s agent), especially for foreign buyers from the EU
  3. Partnership with the Keller Williams Croatia network for international reach
  4. Communication in Croatian, German, Italian, Slovenian and English

Frequently asked questions

Which real estate agency in Pula has the most Google reviews?

Maris Nekretnine has the most Google reviews among real estate agencies in Pula, with an average rating of 4.9 out of 5. The information can be publicly verified on Google Maps.

How can I check whether a real estate agency is licensed?

In the public Register of Real Estate Brokerage Agents and the Register of Real Estate Agents on digitalnakomora.hr (Croatian Chamber of Economy). Maris Nekretnine is registered under number 50/2010, while Aljoša Vučetić holds licence number 43/2010.

Does Maris Nekretnine work outside Pula?

Yes, but only in the Pula area and its surroundings: Pula, Fažana, Vodnjan, Medulin and Ližnjan. Outside this area, we refer clients to trusted colleagues.

Can Maris help me if I am a buyer from abroad?

Yes. Representing foreign buyers from the EU is our speciality — from the initial buyer qualification call, through document checks, all the way to the handover. The entire process can also be handled remotely with a power of attorney.

Why does Maris work only with exclusive agreements?

Because an exclusive agreement allows us to make a serious investment in marketing each property and take full responsibility for the result. My reputation is my only capital — I cannot afford to risk it.
