Properties for sale by their owners.

Why buy this way?

Many owners have their houses listed with many real estate agencies who will be charging them up to 10% for the promotion of their property. Ask any home owner if they are satisfied with the activities of their agents and the universal answer will be NO! the main reason; lack of positive action in promoting their house.

Agents post a picture in the window, hope a passer-by drops in or searches their website for your house. Some may pay to list on websites such as Rightmove but they will only tend to select a few of their stock on these websites because of the high cost.

Algarve Homes puts you the buyer directly in touch with the seller.  By making a saving on commissions, the seller has the opportunity to be more aggressive in their pricing attracting more buyers.  You win they win!

What about setting up bank accounts, tax numbers, legal representation, and all the other requirements of buying a property abroad?
