Sarah and James had spent two years searching for a property on the Costa del Sol — on their own, between busy schedules in London. They had seen dozens of listings online, made three trips to the region, and still hadn't found the right home. Every agent they spoke to pushed a different property in a different area. No one seemed to be listening.
They reached out to SELECTHO for an Advisory Session. In 90 minutes, Franco mapped their priorities, identified two areas they hadn't seriously considered, and explained why three of the properties they were most excited about online wouldn't work for their actual lifestyle. The written report that followed gave them clarity they hadn't had in two years.
Three weeks later, Franco found a property that had never appeared on any portal — a four-bedroom house in Benahavís, listed privately through a local agent. It matched 9 of their 10 criteria. During the negotiation, SELECTHO secured a 6.5% reduction from the asking price. Four months after that first call, Sarah and James received the keys.
