If you are looking to buy overseas, then viewing trips and orientation breaks, can prove very costly and time consuming - especially if you are being shown around properties, and areas, that are simply not suitable so by employing somebody to work with your best interests at the forefront, you are adopting a cost effective and positive approach to your search, which will result in you finding your absolute ideal property.With over 1500 estate & sales agents in the Marina Alta region of Spain (Northern Costa Blanca) - it can be a minefield trying to find your ideal property, many houses are for sale with multiple agents, often at different prices, and nearly always with different pictures, so until you turn up to the same house twice, with different agents, you are totally unaware you have been looking at the paper or online details of the same property. You will also find many agents listing properties in their windows and on their web sites, which have already been sold or have been removed from the market. As independent property finders we can save you time by avoiding these pitfalls.For an estate agent - it is a numbers game. They need to look busy and have lots of homes to show "for sale" in their windows or on property search websites, but in order to keep those homes on their books, they have to take buyers to view the property on a regular basis, even if the house doesn't really match the buyers requirements - a little bit of sales speak, and some gentle glossing over of the facts can make the house seem perfect for you, until you actually get there!
