Selling your property in Sitio de Calahonda?

Why David Hemmings, StartGroup’s Calahonda property valuer will give you the best advice!

When selling your Spanish property there are a lot of things to take into consideration.

• How much is my Spanish property worth?
• Which nationality are the buyers at the moment?
• How do I best market my property for sale in order to reach as many potential buyers as possible?
• What is the sales process like?
• How much are the taxes to pay when I sell my property?
  Those might be the most obvious questions, but there are a lot more things to take into consideration as well. Especially when choosing an estate agent to help you achieve the best sale possible.

StartGroup property valuer

We can obviously be seen as “partial” when we say David Hemmings will give you the best advice for selling your property in the Calahonda and Mijas Costa area. After all he has worked here at StartGroup for almost a decade, and we love him to bits! A kind spirit who has lived in Spain since 1985, well integrated both in the local Spanish community and the British, keeping his roots well in mind.
We have had the pleasure of training him and see him qualify in all the training courses we have put in front of him, both in Spanish and English. To mention a few he possess diplomas in the Andalusian Property Law D.218/2005 (with speciality on how to legally display a property for sale on the costa del sol), GDPR, AML to EU standard.
In 2021, StartGroup was the first company in the world to get all its staff training certificates from the AIPP (Association of International Property Professionals) based in London. David was of course one of the first ones to complete that certification.
This, together with his long experience of the Spanish property market, already gives him an edge on the competitors.

And as a StartGroup property valuer David is also provided with exceptional sales tools and backed by an international sales team that speaks no less than 10 languages. Maximum exposure = Results!
