Selling your Spanish Property


Thank you for your interest in our service for selling your Spanish property. We are a family run company and have been established in Spain since the beginning of 2002. During this time we have built up an in-depth knowledge of the Spanish property market including inland areas as well as the coast. From the start we covered a wide area as we wished to offer our buyers a greater choice than the typical local estate agent. We are proud to have built up a good reputation as an ethical agency who "goes that extra mile" to ensure a first class service for both buyer and seller. With the economic crisis having a dramatic negative effect on the Spanish property market we have responded with the following Pro-active Marketing Plan for our vendors which has successfully increased enquiries, viewings and sales.

                                                                                See About Us  Company Service  &  ">The Team

For vendors who wish to move back to the UK as soon as possible or who already have done so, we offer our "Try before you Buy" service. This offers the vendor a minimum rental income of 6 months from a potential buyer who has the chance to "test drive" the property and location before committing to the purchase. The advantage for the vendor is that at the least it produces an income that will allow them to move in the short term and at best it offers an increased chance of a sale in a difficult market. For the buyer it makes the decision easier because they have the chance try out the property and the location and regain some of the rent if they go ahead and buy.
 

Greatly Increase the Chances of Selling Your Property with our Optional
Pro-active Marketing Programme


IF YOU WANT TO MOVE...YOU MUST MOVE WITH THE TIMES!

The Spanish property market has had a very difficult last few years. The huge fall off in the numbers of new buyers and the high number of properties for sale have combined to push down values. In addition the fall in the value of Sterling has meant that sales prices have fallen by an average of 30% from the peak of 2006/7

However the good news is that over the last year we have successfully combated these negative market forces with a pro-active marketing plan for our clients so we are still able to find the buyers and are still selling properties.
.
Because we are now in the internet age, buyers are researching and choosing their properties on their computer from the comfort of home instead of driving around looking in estate agents windows. Most buyers in the market now are coming from outside Spain so that is where your marketing effort should be concentrated.

However just being on the internet is not enough as there is so much information on the web. To have the best chance of being seen your property details need to be listed on the first few pages of a Google or Yahoo search as research shows that only a small percentage of buyers go beyond the first two pages.

To achieve this we designed a unique Pro-active Marketing Programme which lists our clients property details all over Europe on the large brand name property web portals (like Primelocation.com & FindaProperty.com ) who pay a lot to appear on the first page of a Google search.

·         We are a family run estate agency, established in Spain since 2002 and have been successfully selling properties in most regions of southern Spain.


·        In addition we advertise our client’s properties in 9 languages and on up to 22 different top web portals which appear on the first pages of a Google search.

·        Because we are able to pass on the benefits of our expertise and buying power we can promote your property in the biggest property shop windows available throughout Europe and we offer optional advertising packages to suit the needs of every vendor.

To achieve this maximum exposure we have negotiated a low cost advertising package with the leading property web portals. In addition we translate into 9 different languages including Russian to attract buyers from other countries.  We send only details of your property for specific enquiries. Compare our service and you will find it is superior to all the rest.

Standard Option

Global Advertising Option 
Over the last 18 months this option has produced the majority of our sales. With this option in addition to all of the above Standard Option features you boost the exposure by having your property details listed on 8 additional property web sites including the top rated portals Findaproperty.com, Primelocation.com  & Kyero.com making a total of 14 international web portals for Spanish property. This option offers the maximum exposure and includes full agency services including accompanied viewings.

You can now book the Global option advertising for 6 months or 12 months. In return for a contribution towards the advertising costs, (€59 or €100) Because this has the best chance of a sale the sales commission is reduced to 3% to encourage a competitive asking price.

Exclusive Global Option
If you appoint us on an exclusive agency basis with the above Global advertising option we reduce the sale commission to just 1.5%

Advertise Only Option “Direct from the Owner”
This offers all the benefits and high exposure of the Global Option above with the exception of agency services. The vendor can have their contact details listed on the web pages and then deal directly with the viewings themselves. The total cost of this package is €500 with 0.5% sales commission for 12 months advertising on all the top property web sites.

To have the best chance of selling quickly in the current market it is essential to have a competitively low asking price. This option is designed for those vendors who are able to conduct the viewings themselves or with a key holder. You pay a once off fee to cover the advertising and web site set up costs and all enquiries come to you directly giving you the freedom to negotiate directly with the buyer.
