Estate Agents

[Mick94]

I apologise in advance if this posting is on an unsuitable forum. I live and own in Orihuela Costa, not Torrevieja, and I want to leave the area, not buy into it. For many reasons, I have come to loathe this area and I hate it here.

I wish to sell up here and move on. I appreciate I am not alone and I am so keen to move away, that I am prepared to let the house go at below market value.

Can anyone recommend an effective estate agent who does not pile on a huge commission please ? I say this because the commissions are often so high as to deter potential purchasers.

Thank you.

Try putting your own "SE VENDE" sign up with your telephone number on it and a price? But just be careful if you show anybody around, keep your eyes on them at all times.

Have tried that with three signs up for over three months. No enquiries at all.

Go to Dolphin Properties at Villamartin you will be charged realistic commission and John Price will tell you the price your property will sell at

I have just bought from him he is as fair with buyers too he listened to our requests and within 2 days he had shown us a property which had been on the market for 2 years at an unrealistic price with another estate agent

I know this doesn,t happen all the time t'would be an ideal world if it did but his pricing was exactly right for the current market so because he listened he knew which client to show it to within 48hrs of taking this property on he had sold it

Good Luck

Hi Gal,

My friend runs Costa Blanca Property, Spanish Property Sales, Selling Spanish Property Costa Del Sol, it's a website where you can list your property for a one off payment then deal directly with the buyers - therefore not low commission but 0 commission. Friends of mine managed to seel their apartment there within about 6mths after having it on the market for ages previously and no luck.

Worth a try I'd say.

Try LemonTreeVillas or Elite Property Spain, Villas and Apartments and Houses throughout Spain and many other top Euro destinations.

That site has a Google PR of zero and an Alexa ranking of nearly 1.7 million.

No-one is going to see it.

Waste of money, better off using a proper agent.

I would try to sit out the current credit crunch. If you don't want to live here, perhaps get a good letting agency to take care of business for you. I think that short term (1-3 years) the prices will continue dropping, but long term (6+ years) there will be millions of old people who wish to retire down here at the Costa.

It is going to be a rough ride for many. Especially those from Ireland and the UK who according to the OECD also has a property market that is about to burst.

Best of luck.

Or if you definately want to sell and want a good reliable agent who charges a fair price try Rachael at Costa Villas in Blue Lagoon, tel 670473117. She runs this business on her own and is well established and well known. Worth a call IMHO.

Try Ian at Property Choice in El Raso. Typically 3% commission I think, which seems pretty reasonable.
