Some people spend years looking for a property.  Some are lucky enough to find a property and have the confidence to purchase on their first visit to Marbella. Others take their time and visit for several days, maybe three or four times, until they feel sure enough to make a final decision.

What type of property are you looking for?  And in which area of Marbella? Many potential purchasers think they are looking for one type and end up purchasing something totally different.  Unless you are very clear about what you want, and are sure that it exists, look at different types of properties in different residential areas, with an open mind.  Ask yourself what you really want and need? Doing this will help build up your knowledge of real estate values in this area.  Every area in the world has its own market patterns, looking at different property will help you answer the basic question “What do I get for my money?” or “ How much do I have to spend? ”  When you have answered this, you will certainly be able to make an offer with much more confidence.

Choosing a reputable estate agent is certain to save time and trouble.  There are many highly qualified estate agents in Marbella, and, as in any other area, there are the more opportunistic and less qualified ones as well.  One should try to choose an agency on the recommendation of lawyers or long time residents; the agency should have a good inventory of resale and new properties on its books; and should be open, sincere, communicative, professional and appear genuinely interested in helping you meet your needs rather than just looking for quick business.

We from Müller Immobilien Consult want to share with you our knowledge and experience in the property field; to help to explain the pros and cons of different areas and properties; to interpret your requirements, analyse your needs and  tell you the actual sale price of properties recently sold.  We also help you negotiate the eventual purchase right through to completion and in settling in afterwards.

Our first help to you is the new real estate magazine Casas. From now on, at three monthly intervals, Casas  will keep you informed about news, facts and the latest position in the exclusive Marbella property market. We hope you enjoy this free magazine!
