Properties Direct (Spain) specialises in Spanish property sales in the Javea and Moraira area of Spain's Costa Blanca. All Properties Direct villas and apartments are for sale with a maximum 1.5% Commission.

Buyers and sellers of Spanish property frequently ask us "Why do you only charge 1.5% commission when other real estate agents in Spain charge 5% or more?"

The answer is simple. We want to you a choice on the Costa Blanca!

Twenty years ago, 5% commission on a villa on the Costa Blanca costing 10 million Pesetas (just over 60,000 Euros) was not considered excessive. The real estate agent's commission based on this amount was about 3,000 Euros, which in the 1980's was a great deal of money but was thought appropriate for the estate agent's services.

During the 1980's in Spain, the bureaucracy was far worse than today, so the estate agent did earn his money. And at that time there were only a few estate agents on the Costa Blanca, compared to over 200 today in Javea alone.

Today's property prices are far higher than in the 1980's. Since 2000 property prices have soared by an average of 20% a year, so a villa costing 300,000 Euros five years ago, is probably worth about 430,000 Euros today. So today, the commission charges added to the vendor's asking price takes some properties out of reach of many potential buyers.

The Buyer pays LESS, and the Seller gets MORE

Here's an example to prove how YOU can gain both ways!

The owner of a villa on the Costa Blanca wants 400,000 Euros for his home. When the real estate agent adds his 5% commission, the sale price becomes 420,000 Euros.

A buyer offers 390,000 Euros - 30,000 Euros less than the sale price. The estate agent puts the offer to the seller, saying that he will get 370,500 Euros for his villa (390,000 Euros less 5%). The seller can either accept 370,500 Euros, or try to negotiate a higher figure. Many estate agents will reduce their commission to get the sale, but some will not. But some will not even put the offer to the seller.

In this case, the seller would probably have accepted €390,000, if they actually received that amount. Because it is only 2.5% less than the owner wanted.

Buying and selling through Properties Direct is much more profitable!

If the seller had put his property for sale through us, we would have advertised it for 406,000 Euros - 14,000 Euros cheaper!

When the buyer offered 390,000 Euros, the seller would have got 384,150 Euros. Our commission would be only 5,850 Euros, a saving of 13,650 Euros!

But maybe the buyer had offered even less - say 380,000 Euros. After taking our commission of just 1.50%, the seller would still be 3,950 Euros better off than if he used a conventional estate agent!

So BOTH the seller AND the buyer win!

Advertising your home through Properties Direct, will make it cheaper than through other agents, so it will be more affordable and more desirable.

Buying your home through us could save thousands of Euros because it will be realistically priced - not inflated by high commission charges.
