What Eston International does

Eston International Kft. is a privately held Hungarian commercial real estate advisory firm founded in 1993 and headquartered in Budapest. Originally focused on residential real estate, the company pivoted exclusively to the commercial sector in the early 2000s and today operates seven integrated service lines: Office Agency, Capital Markets, Property Management, Project Management, Valuation, Industrial Agency, and Asia Desk. The firm positions itself as Hungary's largest locally-owned commercial real estate advisory, serving landlords, investors, developers, occupiers, and financial institutions with end-to-end advisory across the commercial real estate lifecycle.

The firm's operating model is professional services-based, generating fees from leasing and tenant representation mandates, capital markets transactions (vendor and buyside), recurring property and asset management contracts, fit-out and refurbishment project management (over 250,000 sqm delivered across nearly 300 projects), RICS-accredited valuation work (200+ mandates per year covering more than 2.5 million sqm), industrial and logistics brokerage, and cross-border advisory for Asian clients. The team comprises 40+ professionals with 600+ years of combined industry experience, and the leadership group averages 16 years of tenure with the firm, including multiple MRICS-accredited members. International reach is delivered through a 2017 international associate partnership with Savills, granting access to a network of 40,000+ professionals across 70 countries and 700+ offices.

Eston has no disclosed external institutional investors, parent company, or funding rounds; it is owned and led by Managing Director Adorján Salamon. The firm competes in the Hungarian CRE market against global brands (operating in Hungary) and other local boutiques, differentiating through three decades of local market presence, integrated full-service delivery, RICS-regulated advisory standards, deep valuation data covering a majority of Budapest's speculative office stock, and the Asia Desk launched in 2026 to serve Asian investors and corporates across Hungary and Central and Eastern Europe. Pricing is mandate-based and not publicly disclosed, and revenue is not publicly reported.
