3 STEPS TO BUY A PROPERTY

1 - Check what properties are available

• Get a quick idea of the type of properties available through our selection of properties
• For a more extensive check, use one of the many property portals listed in our "Directory of real estate portals"

2 - Get help in your search by using our "search form"

• This initial search provides the best 10-15 homes that fit your needs
• We will call you back to detail your requirements and explain how we do the search

3 - Use our property finder service to find your home

• We carry out an ongoing search to send you the best properties matching your needs, so you can establish a shortlist of houses that you would like to visit
• Then either we pre-visit houses and send you photos/videos of these or organize the visits to fit your schedule when you come to the region
• We also assist you during the price negotiation and advise you on the end to end buying process
• All we need to carry out this service is a "search mandate", so we become your single point of contact and you no longer need to contact multiple agencies
• Our fees
• There is no cost or engagement for the initial search
• For the ongoing search, our fees are covered by a commission split if you buy through an agency (so no extra cost), and if you buy from a private owner directly, our fee is 2% of the sale price, which is competitive compared with other property finders
