29.07.2021
Today we are going from the coastal region to the central part of Montenegro and we are beginning a series of stories about the natural beauties, thanks to which Montenegro has become one of the leading destinations for investment and tourism.The wild beauties of Montenegro are known to many and you do not need to go too far to find beautiful panoramic views and experience the wild nature and its wonders. A short ride from the seaside and you will arrive in one of five National parks of Montenegro, the Skadar Lake.
The lake is located in Zeta valley and is surrounded by mountains. Two-Thirds of Skadar Lake belongs to Montenegro. Skadar Lake is the largest lake on the Balkan Peninsula, with fresh water and one of the largest national parks in Montenegro.
It’s extremely famous for its diversity of flora and fauna. It is stated that 270 kinds of birds inhabit this Lake. Around 90% of birds are migratory and are of international importance. There are 50 species of fish living in the Lake. The most familiar are ukljeva and carp.
The world of plants of this park is very important and there are 30+ protected plants and trees in the Park.
In the region of Skadar Lake, there are 20 monasteries, churches, villages, fortresses and sacred monuments. This lake is the witness of Montenegrin history from the 11th century up to now. Around Lake itself, there are 18 important historic monuments.
Earliest written documents from this region are from the 11th century or period of creating the first Montenegrin dynasty. Turning of Roman Catholics into Orthodox Church many monasteries and churches, at the beginning of 1400 AD built around the lake. In 1478 Turks occupied Zabljak and the region of the lake and ruled over it until 1878, when Montenegro was liberated from Turkish rule. During the Turkish occupation, Montenegro was ruled by Cetinje Metropolitans and it survived this period. Some strongholds were used by Italians during WWII.
Bird watching, fishing, hunting, renting and ride in a boat, swimming and sunbathing are the main recreational activities around the Lake.
Park was founded in 1968 for keeping and protecting of wonderful surroundings of the Lake and its shore.
Park is easily accessible from the direction of Podgorica and Bar by highway Podgorica – Petrovac or by rain from Bar or Podgorica through the central part via Virpazar. To other regions inside the park, you can come by car or taxi. Many Travellers’ agents offer one-day trips to Lake including boat ride at Lake and lunch at far fishermen village.

In period May-August 2022 we sold our flats in St-Petersburg Russia and have bought two ones here in Montenegro, Becici. We decided to move here and make new home and business with my husband. Our agent Milica Zugic is really became our angel - provider here in Montenegro. She is very reliable, responsible , professional employee of CMM Budva department. She has developed intuition and found very fast necessary properties which we needed. Also she helped us to speed up the process of registration documents in MUP.( list nepokretnosti, etc). She was our real provider here. Very appreciated her and all staff of Budva department for there assistance. Separately to lawyer Ivan and his legal team. Very recommended choose Milica Zugic as real estate manager when you search for assistant in this complicated and important field as buying property in Montenegro.

At the beginning of April 2022, our family living in Prague bought a house in Sutomore with the assistance of your company.
Let me express my gratitude to the management of your company for the service provided, and especially to your employees - Anastasia Zeyak, Alexei Grachev and Elena Bozhovich for their attention, patience and even care for the whole time of buying real estate and the services provided after the purchase.
I would really like all companies to work with the same quality of service. After coming into contact with this kind of attitude towards the client, all our environment, if necessary, will refer to your company only.
With gratitude on behalf of our family.A.V. Ter-Gazaryan, 12.07.2022 10:32:19
Based on my experience with CMM in Budva, Montenegro, I can say that they are reliable, fast, and they deliver what they promise. They take really good care of their clients. For instance, I was offered a lift from the airport, and they would take me back and forth from Tivat to Budva and Becici to see various properties. They would answer all of my questions and respond promptly. They have an excellent team: Katarina, Alexander, Natasha, Martin and some other guys whose names I don’t remember. Katarina, my wonderful agent, went to every length to help me find a perfect home. Unfortunately, my situation changed and I had to postpone my relocation to Montenegro.
I would strongly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a property in Montenegro.Val , 13.05.2022 02:18:13
We were introduced to CMM by friends who had already done research on Montenegro and CMM. We purchased our apartment in Dobrota, just outside Kotor, all remotely from South Africa, during the lockdown. Everything was seamless without any problems at all. All the CMM departments work together well from the sales team, head office, legal, interior design and rental department. Every detail was well communicated with an abundance of zoom meetings, videos, emails etc
We are thrilled with the outcome and enjoyed working with the CMM team. They were incredibly professional.
After sales service is also excellent as we move into the rental phase of the apartment and over all management of the apartment including maintenance.
We have been directly and indirectly involved with many houses/apartments all over the world and this was the up there with the best service we have received.
Thanks to everyone we dealt with at CMM it has been an absolute pleasure dealing with you all. We look forward too many happy years working with you on our rental.Mandy and Antoine, 06.10.2021 08:56:22

Last year we decided to find a new home close to the sea. It was quite difficult in the beginning to make the right choice. Once we found CMM Company was a great luck! We immediately received detailed consultation on the country and purchase opportunities. Being attracted by Kotor - one of the most amazing parts of the coast, we decided to take a family trip and maybe make our dream of new home come true. As just discoverers of Montenegro, we were accepted like at home which was a one more pleasant surprise. The most important, we received all detailed information about country regions and procedure of buying property during the first few days. And how beautiful the car journeys were! Difficult choice, but when you find the home you want you can't refuse it. CMM did best to help us with this finding! All the purchase procedure passed well with CMM professional work! Now we are happy owners of a wonderful house with a Kotor bay view, being perfectly served by CMM Management company (of course, we've chosen CMM as professional house manager). Hope our friends and relatives would also move to Montenegro with the CMM help soon !!!
