    Default 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

    just on the note of buying from estate agents in spain. now in the current economic climate estate agents have HAD to lower commissions and it is rare now that commissions are now that high. many now are working off of tiny commissions that just about cover costs and pay a small wage just to keep up with the competition. buying direct from a home owner can be just as expensive or even more expensive than buying through an estate agency.

    Sorry! Another thing ...

    If you haven't done so already, why not add your company website to our Costa Blanca directory? It is completely free for members of the forum to add their own or useful websites to.

    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 isnīt still trying to charge the earth in commissions.

    Yep, sure thing.

    You can start a thread in The Jobs / Employment / Working section stating what you are looking for, hopefully some people will be looking for some extra cash and might suit what they are looking for.

    Make sure you optimize your title and tags then you will have a much better chance of the thread coming up in the search engines and people finding your ad.

    See you are posting on my old forum as well!

    Be careful, they are all estate agents, you don't want to upset them!
