Villa wanted for purchase

[SDJ]

Sandra,

Have you had to return to Florida? So sorry that things have fallen through for you it must be so frustrating.

Andrena

No Andrena, the Realtor will carry on marketing the villa for the time being.

Thank you all for the advice. Really appreciate it. Have been in touch with Sandra who has also given me great advice. I am beginning to doubt all the realtors who have given overestimated figures, they seem to be like our UK estate agents!!!! I think the best option is to buy from someone on this forum who has bookings. Am dealing with someone which looks like being mutually beneficial. If anyone is interested in selling do let me know. Thank you again. You can email goldcrestraju@hotmail.com

Good luck with the search Raymond, having a turnkey property with a reputable owner that can help you with future bookings is a godsend, if you do go with a home with future bookings, ensure that your contracts explain everything to do with this.

Hi Raju - just sent you an email. I would agree with others to say that it is hard work getting the bookings and as we found, often takes a couple of years to get established. However, once you have bookings you then get regular guests who also recommend you to other friends & family. 70% of our bookings are now repeat guests of friends of friends & recommendations.

Kind regards
Pamela Graham

We are returning this year with a view to start villa hunting. We have previously stayed in a property on Calabay Parc and upon trying to book to return have been told the property might be on the market later in the year. My question is this, how the heck do you suss out a good realtor from a shark from so far away!!!! Can anyone make a good recommendation?

This thread is quite lengthy now and has drifted away from the op's original question in places. People might not see your question buried amongst everything else. I would start a new thread asking for realtor recommendations.
The question has been asked before but it is in villa advertisers section so I cannot direct you there
