Get started with hiring your personal shopper

who’ll help you find the perfect property and benefit from genuine advantages!

Each market is different. This is especially true in the Canary Islands, as many things work differently than in other places. If you’re new to the island, good advice is very valuable. If you hire a personal agent (personal shopper) you make sure that you will benefit from all of the possible advantages and avoid experiencing headaches and costly mistakes due to cultural misunderstandings or lack of knowledge.

Your agents are getting paid directly by you. Hence, they will always be on your side to defend your interests. In general, you will not have any extra costs, but you will benefit from the more favourable prices that your agent will negotiate for you. Moreover, they will try to include their commission into the final real estate commission, which in general gets split between the seller´s agent and buyer’s agent. It is common on the Canary Islands that almost all Real Estate Agencies cooperate with each other.

How You Will Benefit From Our Work…

My team and I will filter the market for you on the different existing platforms, aiming to find exactly what you are looking for. Please consider that not all properties and opportunities are always offered on large and well-known platforms – as these are also the most expensive ones for the agencies to offer their portfolio there – but often somewhere hidden or on smaller, more specialized websites.

Open the HORIZON

My team and I have a lot of experience and have known the south of Gran Canaria for many years. Maybe there are some additional areas or great opportunities which you did not think about in the first place during your search. If you discuss opportunities with a team, sometimes, new opportunities can become an option.

Getting a 2nd OPINION

When it comes to important long term decisions like investing into a property do you like to talk to other people and get their opinion? Often it turns out the easiest person to fool is ourself. Things can just be so impressing in a first moment us that other aspects get less attention and get pushed aside. It´s always good to be able to talk to a friend, partner and also an experienced expert before taking a decision. And remember, our aim is not to sell something to you but rather to search the right fit for your needs. All possible aspects should be taken into account in order to make sure you will feel comfortable to take the right decision.

Take Advantage of our NETWORK

We cooperate with many local real estate agencies all over the south of Gran Canaria and send out to them on a regular basis our search lists. These companies know that we only sent real and hot requests and hence have our requests into account while they are out in the field and there´s always a chance to find your dream home before it´s getting published somewhere.  Many eyes will see more.

Save Your TIME and Make the Search More Comfortable and Smarter

Many properties in Gran Canaria get offered by multiple agencies at the same time. Almost all agencies are working with each other. Having only one agent to deal with and with whom you are comfortable can save you a lot of time, considering that it is much more comfortable not to have to deal with numerous agents who all may try to get your attention after an initial call and may try to persuade you to buy something different from their portfolio.

Your Agent Will Never Try to SELL Anything to You

You only have to deal with your personal agent, and they will never try to sell to you. There is no conflict of interest as your agent is hired directly by you. We are not managing any portfolio. Our sole aim is to help you find what you’re looking for and the property that will best meet your needs and we will defend your interests as a buyer all the time and give you real and honest advice regarding all of the advantages, but also the disadvantages, of each property.

Giving Real ADVICE

We will give you real and honest advice regarding all the advantages and disadvantages of each property. Things are different in different countries, but your agent has known Gran Canaria for more than 20 years. They are skilled and experienced and always try to provide you with valuable information from which you can profit immediately concerning:

• Legal situation of part or the whole real estate?
• Quality of the building and construction details?
• Design, layout, and future options?
• Over-priced, market price, or a good opportunity?
• The urban situation or expected developments in the area?
• Is the Urban Development Plan of the area of the property approved?
• Is the property located in a tourist area?
• Is the compound of your property classified and part operated as touristic or residential?

and if you are happy we keep working for you…

Your agent also keeps working for you after the purchase and can help you to reform your new property, be that to manage it or rent it out if you so wanted to.

FIVE STEPS

TO YOUR DREAM HOME…

STEP 1- ANALYZING WHAT YOU´RE LOOKING FOR…

A first free consultation (a meeting, video conference, telephone, email…) getting to know each other and going through the check form to make sure the chemistry is working 🙂 We’ll clarify every aspect of your needs to get covered during the search.

STEP 2- You CONFIRM the mandate

If you agree to all the points, you now give a search mandate to your agent and they then immediately start working for you:

• Going through all the listing platforms and present the properties with additional information to you, which will make it easier to compare them.
• Of course, you are always free to look by yourself. You can then share these offers with your personal shopper who’ll analyze them with all their knowledge.

STEP 3- Your agent will now help with EVERYTHING…

Your agent is now working for you and will help you to set up a local bank account, a tax number, a contract with a local mobile telephone company (and help you to find the best plan for your needs), plus any other service upon request…

STEP 4- BUYING THE PROPERTY

You already fell in love with your dream property?

After closing in on and analysing interesting properties, and comparing them with each other and also against your criteria, your agent will prepare to give an offer from you to the seller. Your agent will negotiate all the terms to make sure you get the BEST DEAL (including the previous purchase option and the signing in a public notary) with the BEST PRICE.

STEP 5- The AFTER SALES DON´T WORRY PACKAGE

Your agent will help you pay purchase tax and change all contracts related to the property to your name (electricity, water, telephone, internet ….)
