Agents
 

Hi All

Can anyone recommend a good agent (for sale of apartment in Cabanas) in the Tavira / Cabanas area? Agents that have a reliable and good track record rather than ineffective ones.

Do you know of any recommendable agents also based in UK who know this area and likely to source clients to purchase apartment?

Your suggestions and recommendations would be much appreciated.

Portuguese homes in Tavira and ask for Calvin. He knows the area well and also used to live in England.:thumbup:

Thanks for that and will follow up. Any more would be greatly appreciated?;)

Sorry but even the best agent in the world is gonna struggle to sell anything at all in the current climate. No one is buying unless its an amazing bargin. There are probably 5,000+ apartments for sale in or around Cabanas you will have to do something to make yours different if you want any chance

Not exactly what I wanted to hear but hey I understand and appreciate your reality check on this!!

The Irish are still buying like crazy around the Lisbon coast...just 'cos the Brit market has slowed,doesn't mean that everywhere has ;)

Re: Agents
 

No shortage of buyers in central portugal too, many now coming from the usa and canada as well as high numbers from the Uk and ireland.

Re: Agents
 

Totally agree. Look further than the British buyer.:fingerscrossed:

Sarah in Algarva Manta Properties, based in Manta Rota, is a really nice woman to deal with and I have found them to be very professional and efficient. She is originally from the UK and owns the company with two Portuguese Nationals.

Many thanks everybody for the replies and leads.

Totally agree - Sarah was extremely helpful to us when we were looking. In spite of everything she could not show us what we were looking for. We bought through Verdeland in Tavira - Henry was fantastic - answered all our calls/emails immediately and sorted many things that were outside of his role of agent just to help us - he worked at getting the sale but in a non pushy way. We found Sarah and Henry the best - some of the others told porkies which we saw through or were so pushy it frightened us off. I know it is different buying rather than selling but buyers need to have confidence in the agent so I would recommend either of these two firms.

Re: Agents
 

Many thanks for your helpful suggestions. I know of Verdeland and had forgotten to contact them. I sent mail to Sarah. She has responded already and yes comes across as very efficient. Fingers and toes crossed now!!

Re: Agents
 

Yikes, that many?:eek:

Re: Agents
 

I am finding that hard to understand, with most of Ireland in debt and some massive financial problems to overcome you are telling me they ignore the rest of the country but still flock to Lisbon coast to buy :unsure:
