About Us

Part of the GEM Group of Companies which includes the market-leader in emerging market real estate, GEM Estates, and the lifestyle property-focussed GEM Established, GEM Cities is the latest addition to the fold.

Ideally suited to today’s turbulent economic climate, cities across the globe provide the stability and security that investors are searching for.  Immune from fickle fashion trends, urban centres offer significant and sustained capital growth, easy accessibility via air, road or rail and a local supply of end-users from multinational companies to student populations to create that all-important ‘exit strategy’ of rental or resale.  It is only with the arrival of GEM Cities that there is now an expert in the global urban property market to service this sector.

GEM Cities aims to provide its clients with expert advice on purchasing in cities across the world within more established countries such as the USA and Germany to the exciting emerging destinations of Panama and Morocco.  Our goal is to seek out cities that offer both value for money and security for investors in the short- and long - term.  When dealing with overseas property markets entry level prices have to represent excellent value for money, the economic climate has to be ripe for growth and the country must be politically stable enough to sustain that growth. GEM Cities aims to get this formula right.  Drawing from a wealth of experience in the global real estate markets, GEM Cities will advise on all stages of the property cycle from initial advice to a comprehensive after-sales service.

Importantly GEM Cities takes its due diligence very seriously.  This is often the most time-consuming part of the process as everything from build licenses and land ownership to financial guarantees and examples of the constructor’s previous work is examined with a fine tooth comb. GEM Cities is conscious of the fact that the purchase of a property is just one small part of the whole procedure, particularly when crossing unfamiliar international borders, so offers a choice of country-specific, independent, legal, taxation, mortgage and foreign exchange professionals which clients can avail themselves of, or indeed decline and use their own.
