Estate Agent Recommendation
 

Hi everyone - my wife and I are starting our home search in the Ayamonte area this summer as we are planning on permanently relocating to sunny Spain from Toronto, Canada. To that end, I am hoping that someone might have a recommendation for a good estate agent in the area.
Thank you so much in advance for your help. Cheers Chris

Hi and a warm welcome to the Spanish forum on BE. Myself and Fred James are the moderators for the Spanish forums whilst BEVS moderates Europe. Moderators are there to ensure that the site runs smoothly within the rules of BE. This is so that members gain the information that they are looking for and find their experiences on the forums to be friendly and worthwhile.

Problems and complaints should always be addressed to a moderator who will look into the matter and deal with it efficiently and fairly. Our members who post in the Spain Forums are usually friendly and helpful with a wealth of knowledge about the issues of living in Spain. I hope that you enjoy your time participating in the forums.

Please let me know if you need any further help.

Look up :-

www.infoayamonte.com

That is the website of a chap called Mike Halligan he is an honest reliable agent but the website is more a travelogue for Ayamonte about which he cares very much so you can be sure he will stear you in the right direction.

I endorse that,Michael has lived in the area for over 20 years he is very knowledgeable and reliable.He looks after the customer and helps with all the legal paperwork which can be very confusing to people unsure of Spanish Law.I have no problem recommending him.Good Luck

Another well known one in Ayamonte is Property Sale Spain

But I have not had any experience with them, and cant either recommend or 'diss' them. Just a well known company - and its always handy to have a few agents to look at when buying...

Re: Estate Agent Recommendation
 

Your first port of call should be to search the main Spanish internet property listing sites and also the main general " private" listing sites.

Not only will you get a far larger selection than any one estate agent can offer but you will quite possibly find the same property offered far cheaper.....

Suggest you set the search area to Huelva as you say you are looking in the Ayamonte area...... It will produce too many results but if you set it to Ayamonte you will often miss loads of property within 10 kms.

Good luck in your search.

PD. Above all if you find your ideal property use an INDEPENDANT lawyer whos specialism is real estate

Thank you everyone for the prompt responses. I will certainly take your recommendations to heart and am looking forward to visiting Ayamonte in the summer to start our search for our retirement home.
Cheers

I met Michael originally around 12 years ago. He's a lovely guy so well worth an email if your visiting looking for a property.
