Often I receive questions and comments like "How can I sell to foreign (Russian) buyers if I don't speak their language?"
Being a Translator/Interpreter, a bridge between English and Russian languages and cultures, I consider it quite obvious to turn to a help of a professional when dealing with foreigners.
So, this is one of your options - enlist help of a translator/interpreter in marketing and selling to foreign buyers.
Nowadays this translator/interpreter doesn't have to be in your neighborhood - translations are delivered by email and interpreting is being done by phone conference calls.
The other option is working with a foreign Realtor who is bilingual and will take care of the foreign buyers language needs. You have to share sales commission in this case of course.
For those of you who want to go this route to sell to a lucrative Russian buyers market for foreign properties, I have prepared The Annotated List of Certified Russian Realtors in Moscow willing to co-broke with you.
The List is at http://www.english-and-russian.com/russian-real-estate-brokers.html along with some advice how to choose a Russian Broker, how to deal with them and what to expect.
To your business success,
