START GROUP
real estate can be found in El Zoco, Calahonda, near the pharmacy. The company was formed in 2003 with partners who had previous experience working with a large Real Estate company but subsequently formed their own as they saw that the personal touch was lacking. Start Group’s motto has always been to provide their customers with exceptional services and above all, to stay with them even after the purchase, should they need help with anything from renovations to tips on furniture etc. You may think that this sounds the same as what any other agency on the coast might be saying, but after 12 years, they can look back to great results with hundreds of satisfied customers as can be seen from the updated testimonials on their website. Buying a property in Spain is a question of trust, so if you have the right help throughout the process and afterwards, this can make property purchase easier, and a lot more enjoyable. Although they have over 900 properties on their books, they check in advance that all documents, licenses, etc. are in order as of course it saves a lot of time. Start Group is also an authorised agent for two large banks and they market bank repossessions. To become an authorised agent for a bank, the company and its employees go through quality control, attend courses and have valid liability insurance. Start Group has gone through this process without any problems. Start Group only deals with property sales, so they are experts in their field. If you are looking to sell or buy a property, then give the experts a call. Please see main advertisement on page 3.
