Mirela Daskalova has been a Real Estate Consultant at Bulgaria Sotheby’s International Realty since 2024, bringing over 10 years of experience in team leadership and infrastructure project management. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the University of Portsmouth and a Master's degree in Economics from D. A. Tsenov Academy of Economics.

Her professional background outside the real estate sector has provided her with a strong strategic perspective, which she now applies to luxury real estate and investment advisory, guiding clients through informed and sustainable decision-making processes.

Mirela is known for her transparency, discretion, and precision in communication, as well as her strong negotiation skills as a certified mediator. She works closely with Sotheby’s international network and has experience with markets such as Italy, Switzerland, and Monaco.

She has developed a particular interest and growing expertise in trophy properties—a segment that requires a deep understanding of value beyond conventional market parameters. She approaches every transaction strategically, from initial research through to the transfer of ownership, focusing on added value and long-term client relationships.

What do you enjoy most about your work?

The dynamic nature of the business and the opportunity to meet and work with different people. What I value most is understanding my clients’ needs on a deeper level and finding a property that reflects not only their requirements but also their lifestyle.

The greatest satisfaction comes when a client recognizes their future home—often from the very moment they step through the door. It is this emotional connection, combined with a rational decision-making process, that makes the journey so meaningful and rewarding.

Tell us more about your expertise in trophy properties?

Working with trophy properties requires a different approach. These are rare, iconic assets distinguished by exceptional locations, architecture, and history. They are perceived not simply as real estate, but as long-term stores of value and symbols of prestige.

A premium property does not necessarily offer every convenience in the traditional sense, but it embodies a sense of legacy and enduring value that can be preserved and enhanced over time.

Thanks to our global network, I have access to exceptional opportunities and properties that rarely reach the open market. My background in construction enables me to assess quality in depth, while my negotiation expertise allows me to protect my clients’ interests at the highest level.

What advice do you give clients when buying, renting, or investing?

I encourage clients to think strategically and with a long-term perspective. Whether purchasing a home or making an investment, a property's value is shaped by a combination of location, quality, functionality, and future potential.

Factors such as layout, ceiling height, construction quality, and the level of interior finishing can transform a property into something truly exceptional. Ultimately, however, the most important element is the feeling it creates.

I also advise clients to work with a trusted real estate consultant who can structure the process, facilitate communication between all parties, and provide confidence and clarity at every stage. The best decisions are those that successfully combine logic, strategy, and intuition.
