Sale of our property in Calahonda after 20 years

Both Judy and I were more than impressed with the speed of the transaction and infact the whole process was smoothly negotiated by the only Company we were prepared to deal with, as we bought the property through Christofer in 2002. Our very best wishes to yourself and the Start group team. Best regards Richard & Judy

Confidence in recommending the Start Group to others

We’re just back from a week’s holiday in the Calahonda area and you might recall this trip was primarily to take a look at the area so we could compare it to the Costa Blanca. While we didn’t intend to look at properties, we happened to walk past the Start Group offices while shopping and decided to go in for a chat. We met with Jennifer Fogelberg who was extremely helpful and she suggested we might like to take a look at a number of properties while we were in Spain. While Jennifer knew we were not yet ready to purchase a property, she still offered us the opportunity to view a selection of properties. This has given us a much clearer view of the type of properties we can consider against our budget and we have now been able to narrow down our search to one area in the Costa del Sol. Your recommendation has allowed us to establish a relationship with the Start Group and I wanted to let you have some feedback so you have a confidence in recommending the Start Group to others. Once again, thanks so much for your help. Kind regards Mrs J. Cox

Best Estate Agent in Calahonda

Best Estate Agent in Calahonda I would like to write a little “bragging” letter to Jennifer in StartGroup, in connection with the purchase of our apartment in Miraflores, Ocean Golf Riviera. My wife and I had long considered buying an apartment on the Costa del Sol and submitted some requests with regards to ads on Finn.no, to several real estate agents in Spain. Among many responses, including from Jennifer at StartGroup, I chose 2-3 real estate agents. Meanwhile, I had been in contact with some neighbours of my parents here in Norway, which gave me a recommendation on a trustworthy and clever agent, which I should contact. It was this agent that they used to buy an apartment and this agent also had a cooperation with a Norwegian lawyer, so that the buyer could feel safe with a purchase on the Costa del Sol. Then it turned out that the real estate agent they recommended, was the same as the one I had picked out, StartGroup. Would just like to tell, how wonderful it is to fulfil a dream of buying a place in Spain and all thanks to Jennifer and StartGroup, they have made this dream a reality. StartGroup started with finding out what kind of needs we wanted, house/apartment, number of bedrooms/bathrooms, size of terrace, location, pretty much everything that we had desired. Based on these criteria, Jennifer found many apartments to view, together with what few we also had picked out. We agreed on a date for viewings and within two days the decision was taken. Our apartment in CalahondaWe found a wonderful apartment. Jennifer had done an excellent job in advance and with her positive and honest conduct, this was an amazing experience. Jennifer showed us around the area and in addition to the apartment purchase, helped with tips on a place to buy furniture and during the entire process has been helpful with a helping hand when we’ve wondered about something, also afterwards. They recommended Cramer Lawyers in Tønsberg, with a Norwegian lawyer based in Fuengirola. And here everything has gone smoothly, from A to Z. As Jennifer told us, when we wondered how we would get to a purchase, she said that the hardest thing in this process was to find a proper apartment. And it’s true!! We have now well settled into our apartment and can recommend StartGroup to anyone considering a purchase on the Costa del Sol. StartGroup is a trustworthy and highly skilled real estate agent, which puts the customer in focus and gives 100% support, also after the purchase. Unni and Tore Gundersen

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

Very smooth excellent service from both the Sales Team and our Solicitor.

Regarding the sale of our apartment through Start Group. In short, very efficient. We asked a representative from Start group to come to the property for a valuation. We already had an educated idea as to what the property could be worth and the indicated sale price was very close. After a bit of rationalisation a start price was agreed. Within 4 weeks a sensible offer was made and accepted. All the documentation was in place, a preferred completion date was requested, the sale/legal process went through in just over 4 months. Very smooth excellent service from both the Sales Team and our Solicitor. Best regards, John.
