Sergey Alexandrovich Kozlovsky is a well-known Russian businessman, co-owner of the INCOM Real Estate corporation. This is one of the leading companies in the real estate market in our country, which not only survived in the conditions of fierce competition, but also successfully developed.
In addition to business, Sergey Alexandrovich has creative projects: he makes popular science films, writes books and music. This is a very interesting experience when, as a result of painstaking research and spiritual revelation, unusual works of art are created.
Biography
Sergey Alexandrovich was born in Leningrad in 1958. After graduation, he went to graduate in the capital and entered the Moscow Aviation Institute, the faculty of automated control systems. In 1982, he graduated from high school, and in 1987 became a candidate of technical sciences with all that it implies.
Already then, the country began to undergo rapid changes, and, as an intuitive person, Kozlovsky realized that much could not be achieved with his education at such times. And after a couple of years he entered the Academy of National Economy to become a manager. In parallel, he worked as a software engineer at a research institute, where he studied at graduate school.
When the nineties came and private enterprises began to be organized, Sergey got the idea to organize an enterprise selling cars. This idea prompted him to buy a car. This market is not so easy to figure out, you can get to scammers who sell stolen or beaten cars. And they even sell the "drowned", which in a year will rust. Having cooked in this "mess", Sergey thought that this is a good business, if you work honestly. Thus, the INCOM-Auto company appeared, whose owners became brothers Sergey and Dmitry Kozlovsky.
Later, it was his brother who persuaded him to do real estate, and very timely, as it turned out, planted this idea. In the conditions of an unstable Russian economy, it is very risky to engage in any type of business. It so happened that INCOM-Auto became bankrupt, and INCOM-Real Estate still exists.
After the restructuring, the business developed very rapidly: at that time there was not enough housing, there was a great need for commercial and office premises, so there was enough work. The company employed nearly eight thousand realtors who worked in Moscow and the Moscow region. Such a huge team was able to discipline and organize only a very talented manager. Kozlovsky himself says that he was helped by a technical mindset: all people were divided into teams where there was a manager, and each team also had its own departments and department heads.
When Sergei Aleksandrovich is asked why his competitors did not survive in the market, he suggests that they did not have a very honest business. And in his company, the main credo was precisely honesty towards customers, and this was his constant personal concern and the foundation on which all the work of INCOM Real Estate was based. Their clients told other people about a decent company, and so word of mouth worked for good.
Now the situation is somewhat different than it was in those years: the "big boom" passed, and people began to improve living and working conditions. Someone is expanding the office, someone is buying a bigger apartment or wants to buy housing for children and grandchildren. Gradually, saturation takes place, and more or less calm work is already going on, without any emergency.
And in the nineties I had to work hard to satisfy the demand of all customers. But the business expanded as well: in 1994, INCOM-Real Estate turned into a huge holding, and then it merged with the Moscow Central Real Estate Exchange, which was led by Konstantin Popov. Kozlovsky became president of the combined company INCOM-Real Estate.
When in an interview he was asked why he had teamed up precisely with Popov, the businessman replied that he offered many the idea of unification because he felt the need for this action. However, only the head of the Moscow Exchange responded. And this is also a momentous event, because Konstantin Olegovich adheres to the same policy of honesty and transparency in doing business and relations with clients as Kozlovsky.
Now INCOM-Real Estate has a share of more than 30% in the Moscow real estate market, more than 70% in the market with suburban real estate, and more than 50% in the housing rental market.
Since 2000, Sergey Kozlovsky has been involved in construction. Now he is the head of the company VILLAGIO ESTATE, which builds luxury country houses in the suburbs. And it is this business that is of primary interest to him now.
Creative projects
Speaking of Kozlovsky, it is impossible not to mention his work - it is so impressive. On his personal website, you can see films that tell about a long history: “Mystery of the Earth” in two series, “Chronicles of the Earth” in six parts, “Creating a Woman”, “The Main War of Atlantis”, “History of Russia”. There are also historical books that take readers to the vast depths of time. However, the most surprising, perhaps, are the songs - lyrical, melodic, with an unusual melody. They are written and performed by Sergey Kozlovsky himself, and his voice sounds quite professional.
One can simply wonder how so many diverse talents are combined in one person.
