Thread: Hello Costa Blanca

In the current climate why pay more for your dream property in Spain?

When buying a property through an estate agent, you are invariably paying an average of 7% more than you need to. All properties listed on buyDIRECTfromowners are free of agents commissions because you are buying Direct from the Owners. This is often known as FSBO - or For Sale by Owner.

Visit FSBO - Buy DIRECT from Owners in Spain or email info@buyDIRECTfromowners.com

Thanks for the update on this. very useful to know.
At BuyDIRECTfromowners.com we aim to offer cost effective marketing starting from 25€ until sold. In the current climate we understand that there are some people who would prefer to sell their own property even if its just to save on that 1%. One thing we will say to any of our clients is that they should try and give their property maximum exposure for minimum outlay so we can now also advise people to shop around for an estate agent who isn´t still trying to charge the earth in commissions.

Thanks Richie, we will keep everyone updated. We are actually looking for reliable property listers in the Costa Blanca area. Still haven´t worked my way around this forum yet could you point me in the right direction for any threads about working in Spain?

Thanks
