We bought a bank repossesion in Riviera del Sol from StartGroup.

We bought a bank repossesion in Riviera del Sol from StartGroup. After being on summer holiday on the Costa del Sol for 3 consecutive years, we decided to go ahead with the purchase of own home in Spain. During the Autumn of 2014 we spent countless hours in front of the computer online, looking for that perfect vacation home. We decided on some criteria that were important to us in our new home and made a list. For example, price/budget, location, size, view, swimming pool, etc. Due to the vast amount of properties on offer from sellers and real estate agents a like, we became quite confused. Fortunately, we received a recommendation from acquaintances in Norway, that we should contact Christofer Fogelberg at StartGroup. We were told that he was a serious, competent and reliable real estate agent. We contacted him via email and got an immediate response. He received our list of criteria and lists we had made with potential relevant properties. He came back to us with feedback with regards to our lists and in addition, he came with additional realistic and possible options. We agreed on a date for viewings right before Christmas. Christofer gave us a very warm welcome and had planned the house viewings very carefully, so that we could get a look at all of the homes during one day. It turned out that many of the ads we had seen online in advance, were quite different when seen in reality. With help from StartGroup and a recommendation from Christofer, we are today happy owners of a holiday home. The acquisition was not particularly easy, as the property was a bank repossession. We wish to thank Christopher for his patience and good help throughout the entire purchase process. We felt right from the start that we were confident in him and felt safe and cared for throughout the entire purchase process. He possesses a lot of knowledge and history of the region and we would give our highest recommendations to anyone who is in the same situation as we were. Finally, we would also like to thank the rest of the gang at StartGroup for good assistance. Kind regards, Gro and Gerardo, Norway

Thank you for all your assistance and inputs when selling our apartment

Just a few words to thank you for all your assistance and inputs when selling our apartment. The whole operation went smoothly and your help and continual update of events regarding the furniture disposal was great. We were concerned about meeting the final signing date due to having to dispose of our furniture and car. We originally believed we would sell the appartment furnished but as you know the buyer wanted only a few items and your suggestions and input were of great help and assistance Thanks again! Regards Noreen & Eamon.

Best Estate Agent in Calahonda

Best Estate Agent in Calahonda I would like to write a little “bragging” letter to Jennifer in StartGroup, in connection with the purchase of our apartment in Miraflores, Ocean Golf Riviera. My wife and I had long considered buying an apartment on the Costa del Sol and submitted some requests with regards to ads on Finn.no, to several real estate agents in Spain. Among many responses, including from Jennifer at StartGroup, I chose 2-3 real estate agents. Meanwhile, I had been in contact with some neighbours of my parents here in Norway, which gave me a recommendation on a trustworthy and clever agent, which I should contact. It was this agent that they used to buy an apartment and this agent also had a cooperation with a Norwegian lawyer, so that the buyer could feel safe with a purchase on the Costa del Sol. Then it turned out that the real estate agent they recommended, was the same as the one I had picked out, StartGroup. Would just like to tell, how wonderful it is to fulfil a dream of buying a place in Spain and all thanks to Jennifer and StartGroup, they have made this dream a reality. StartGroup started with finding out what kind of needs we wanted, house/apartment, number of bedrooms/bathrooms, size of terrace, location, pretty much everything that we had desired. Based on these criteria, Jennifer found many apartments to view, together with what few we also had picked out. We agreed on a date for viewings and within two days the decision was taken. Our apartment in CalahondaWe found a wonderful apartment. Jennifer had done an excellent job in advance and with her positive and honest conduct, this was an amazing experience. Jennifer showed us around the area and in addition to the apartment purchase, helped with tips on a place to buy furniture and during the entire process has been helpful with a helping hand when we’ve wondered about something, also afterwards. They recommended Cramer Lawyers in Tønsberg, with a Norwegian lawyer based in Fuengirola. And here everything has gone smoothly, from A to Z. As Jennifer told us, when we wondered how we would get to a purchase, she said that the hardest thing in this process was to find a proper apartment. And it’s true!! We have now well settled into our apartment and can recommend StartGroup to anyone considering a purchase on the Costa del Sol. StartGroup is a trustworthy and highly skilled real estate agent, which puts the customer in focus and gives 100% support, also after the purchase. Unni and Tore Gundersen

We could not find ourselves in better hands!

We chose StartGroup as our estate agent for the recent sale of our apartment and purchase of a new apartment, both in Calahonda. One of StartGroup’s directors, Pascal, was our estate agent 20 years earlier for our first apartment. As we were so impressed with him then, we naturally chose StartGroup. This proved to be a wise decision as StartGroup managed our recent sale and purchase so very well. Startgroup’s Leon was assigned to our project (assisted by Cecilia). We could not find ourselves in better hands. Leon’s enthusiasm, empathy and professionalism were outstanding. We were most impressed that it was always our own interests/concerns that he prioritised. Meeting up with him was always a pleasure. StartGroup is not a small-scale agency and thus they were able to offer us a degree of flexibility and trust that perhaps a smaller firm might not. No sale/purchase will ever go perfectly to plan, but Leon and StartGroup were always by our side to smooth the way. Indeed, StartGroup was with us from Start to Finish………. Patrick & Josephine Kenny

Great first impression that lasts!

Jennifer is very professional through her way of being accessible, comes up with suggestions for different objects that are for sale and is very knowledgeable and super nice at screenings. As a customer, you get a great first impression, she is honest and guides us through the process. Jennifer is an incredibly person to talk to and keeps us updated on new exciting homes that may be of interest to us. We are convinced that it is largely Jennifer's knowledge, preparation and availability that will help us find our dream home soon! We can warmly recommend everyone to hire Jennifer when you are selling or buying a home in the Costa Del Sol. Great advantage that Jennifer speaks Swedish, English and Spanish. Many of our friends have both bought and sold through Jennifer. Sincerely Catharina Ek

Great experience 🙂 Thank You Christofer and Start Group

I was very pleased and satisfied with the service I received from Start Group and Christofer Fogelberg when I bought my property in May 2015. I felt this agent was different from many that I have dealt with before. In a lot of cases I was shown properties which did not meet my requirements and a lot of time was wasted. However, I felt Christofer listened and has a complete understanding of what I wanted. Nothing was too much trouble. I felt he was passionate about finding the perfect property for me. Always helpful and professional with a personal touch from start to finish. His knowledge of the area is also outstanding! I would highly recommend this agent to anyone who is looking for a property. No need to look anywhere else. They take care of everything, even offer excellent after sale service. As a new home owner in Spain, it is re-assuring to know that they are there to assist you with all your household needs. Kind Regards, Toni Winslade
