My little piece of Heaven

With reference to the recent property I purchased in Mediterraneo – Calahonda, as you know I ran the ‘Gauntlet’ of Real Estate Agents, a term I use loosely as I found most generally speaking to lack professionalism. The ordeal of having to deal with the mediocre Agents was a frustrating affair even though I gave precise instructions to assist them in the search they sadly DID NOT LISTEN to what I was actually looking for. My search went as far as Casares, Estepona, Manilva, Le Duquesa to the West of Marbella and to the East of Marbella including Elviria, Cabopino, Calahonda, Mijas Costa, Mijas Golf and Mijas Pueblo but again nothing suitable was found simply because the Agents (Multiple) were showing apartments which just did not meet my criteria. It was by chance that I came across Start Group with initial contact made with Dave who did not apply any pressure, the next day he made contact and I briefed him on what I wanted. He was put under pressure by me as the property I was searching for was not to be a ‘Rental property or a pure ‘Investment’ but it was /is to be for me to retire in to and therefore it had to be ‘Right’. He showed me several properties which all held numerous aspects of suiting my criteria but they did not posses that certain ‘Feel’ which you only find when you walk in the ‘Right’ property. Through continued perseverance they found exactly what I was searching for…My little piece of Heaven, I immediately fell in love with the place and made an offer which accepted and again. StartGroup provided me with expert Market knowledge while undertaking this process. To those who are serious about finding their ‘Little piece of Heaven’ in the Costa Del Sol, I can without reservation highly recommend StartGroup to help you with your search. Sincerely Bill Andrews

Purchase of Holiday Home in Antares de Calahonda

Many thanks to Jennifer who helped us find our dream apartment in Calahonda. She has fantastic local knowledge, is extremely professional, reliable and helpful. We got to see many apartments in different areas to get a good idea of ​​what felt right. And last but not least, we got a personal treatment out of the ordinary. The whole buying process went incredibly smoothly despite the pandemic. We are more than happy with the whole process and with our new apartment. We want to give our warmest recommendations! We will definitely hire her again next time. Sincerely, Tuula

From holiday apartment to permanent home

We used Start Group last year to both buy and sell our properties. The timing wasn't perfect as it was during the pandemic, but our experience with all the staff at StarGroup was very positive throughout the whole process and in particular with Jennifer. She was amazing right from our first meeting, she was so helpful, knowledgeable, kind and professional, and kept us informed of all the developments when we were unable to return to Spain. Nothing was too much trouble for her, and she really did go the extra mile for us. I would highly recommend Start Group, and if you deal with Jennifer, that's an added bonus! Rosie and Charlie, UK

From Gran Calahonda to Lotus, Azalea

Our experience with StartGroup has been excellent with both transactions we have concluded this year, being one the sale of a flat in Sitio de Calahonda and the other a purchase of a newly produced flat in La Cala de Mijas. Jennifer Fogelberg Clarke, who has been our contact at StartGroup, is efficient and right to the point, you do not lose a single minute of your valuable time visiting properties you would never buy. She captures your needs and she delivers. Jennifer is available at any time, she has a good humour. A laugh every now and then is more than welcome when you are hunting property or struggling to stick to your sale price in search for the buyer who would appreciate your object. Needless to say that the whole sale team from StartGroup which has been visiting our flat in Calahonda with likely buyers from the whole Europe have always been super correct, respectful, professional, nice and funny. We have never doubt about leaving our keys to them, in spite of the fact were actually living in the property which was for sale. All in all StartGroup is more than strongly recommended. Maybe they should rename the company to STARTGroup.

StartGroup sold our apartment in May 2016

StartGroup sold our apartment in May 2016 to the first viewing we had. They also have been very helpful in finding us our dream villa, which took 5 months, nothing was too much trouble. Our thanks to Christofer & team, we thoroughly recommend them. Mr and Mrs Avis
