How does the process of selling a property in Spain work? Why should you contract a certified estate agent to help you sell your property?
All staff at StartGroup undergo training by an external auditor when starting in the company and are then audited on a yearly basis. All staff are certified in European and Spanish Anti anti-money laundering procedures, GDPR & Spanish Data Protection and Andalusian Property law D.218/2005. In September 2021 StartGroup was the first company in the world to get fully certified in the new training program launched by the International Association of Property Professionals, AIPP, which is based in London, UK.
All our sales and valuation staff are certified agents by GIPE, one of Spain's oldest real estate guilds.
Advertisement in several languages, both nationally and internationally throughout Europe. We advertise our properties both in traditional printed media and use the latest technology to display our properties on all the major internet platforms as well as Social Media. With over 20 years experience we feel that we have the perfect mix of new and old methods, and we are constantly investing in new technologies and platforms.
Our certified property valuers have long and extensive experience valuing properties and know their respective areas very well. We use professional tools to create a tailor made market report for each property and we discuss qualities and conditions with the owner on site to negotiate the final sales price to publish.
When visiting the property, our valuers have professional photo equipment of the latest generation to take a series of high quality photos. After editing, a selection of the photos will be made for use in the published advert of your property. A listing form with qualities and conditions is filled out to be used for the advert. Based on our knowledge of the municipality, area, urbanisation and the property itself, a description of the property will also be written and translated for use in all our marketing.
We don't force anybody to sign an exclusive agreement with us for the sale of a property, but the marketing and presentation is much more extensive. If you choose to sign a 6-month minimum exclusive agreement, we offer:
