TEAM

A company is only as good as its employees

With the same care and conscientiousness with which we at TRICOM GROUP plan and realize our projects and developments, we would also like to advise and support interested parties. However, as this is not one of our core competencies, we have exclusively and independently contracted a competent marketing company to sell, manage and rent our properties.

Excellence in real estate is about more than just closing a transaction. Only when all parties are satisfied with the buying and selling process is a transaction truly successful and a win-win situation for all involved. Committed to these values, the dedicated team of VALUE ADDED PROPERTY is happy to assist you in all matters related to TRICOM in a very professional, binding and responsible manner, so that all your questions and concerns are dealt with in the fastest and most professional manner.

The BHHS team is with you every step of the way. We give you informed and professional information, help you with the necessary paperwork with the authorities and do everything we can to help you with your dream property even after the keys have been handed over.
