Our Story
Finance meets Design
MANASO is Maria and Naso — a name forged from a marriage and a shared obsession. She ran a REIT fund and lectured on stock exchanges. He won interior design awards and sees the soul in every room. In 2014, they decided Sofia's property market deserved both: financial rigor and a designer's eye.
Maria Ivandzhikova
CO-FOUNDER · FINANCE
Maria spent 12 years in the financial markets — owning a financial house, directing REIT fund "Park" ADSIC, and teaching stock exchange operations at university. She brings one unfair advantage to every property deal: she reads a balance sheet faster than a floor plan. MBA, City University of Seattle.
Anastas Enchev
CO-FOUNDER · DESIGN
Anastas is a certified engineer and seasoned financier who discovered his real talent in interior design — winning awards from "Nash Dom" and "Casabrava" magazines. Where most agents see square meters, Anastas sees light, proportion, and possibility. He managed REIT fund "Park" ADSIC before cofounding MANASO.
Bilyana Zapryanova
BROKER
Bilyana brings warmth and precision to every client interaction. As MANASO's dedicated broker, she manages viewings, coordinates logistics, and ensures every step of the process runs smoothly — so Maria and Anastas can focus on finding the right property for you.

Services
Premium real estate, personal touch
Property Sales
We don't list everything. Every property in our portfolio has passed a dual filter — Maria's investment analysis and Anastas's design assessment. If it doesn't make financial and aesthetic sense, we won't show it to you.
Luxury Rentals
Finding the right rental in Sofia's premium neighborhoods requires local knowledge and personal vetting. We manage every detail — from matching you with the right property to handling the lease — so you can focus on settling in.
Investment Advisory
Our founders ran a REIT fund. Maria lectured on stock exchanges. This isn't a side service — it's where we started. Every property comes with a real financial model: projected ROI, rental yield analysis, and market comparables.
