American citizen Sean Almeida talks to a colleague in his office on March 3, 2021. Almeida’s agency Vestor provides high-end properties to foreign investors in the very heart of Kyiv.
Kyiv’s historical district around the Golden Gate became Sean Almeida’s golden goose since he set up his agency in Ukraine.
A veteran of the capital’s real estate, Almeida, 40, has been running his own real estate agency Vestor Estate for over a year, while living in Kyiv since 2012. The firm operates in a niche market — it provides properties to foreigners who have fallen in love with the charm of Kyiv’s old buildings.
