We have been selling properties on the Costa Blanca since we were known as Comaskey Properties back in 2002.
Many local agents do not collaborate with the local offices as they consider them to be competition. One German agent said to us recently;
Why should I pay commission, when I can just wait for another buyer and keep it all to myself?
Rather than adopt this attitude we do the total opposite, just like we started doing back in 2002 in La Zenia. We actively seek collaborating agents in Spain, Ireland, the UK and pretty much anywhere.
Dolphin Properties, located in Villamartín on the Costa Blanca, has been a trusted name in the local real estate market for several years. Spanish Homes online with our new office in Cabo Roig is effectively the high end brand associated with the Comaskey and Dolphin companies. Think Toyota and Lexus.
Both John Price, the original founder of Dolphin and ourselves agree that taking a smaller commission and selling a large number of houses makes more sense than charging a huge commission that our clients have to pay.
Established by John in 2005, Dolphin not only caters to the growing demand for holiday homes, retirement properties, and investment opportunities in the area, but Dolphin Properties just helps people. (We can even rent you or your clients an RV or mobile home)
Agents and their clients appreciate our deep knowledge of the Villamartín area, which is known for its golf courses, beautiful beaches, and even the bowls club.
Dolphin Properties, and now Spanish Homes Online focus on providing a wide range of properties, from modern villas and apartments to traditional Spanish fincas.
In addition to property sales, Dolphin Properties also offers support services, such as legal assistance through Spanish Solutions, property management through Simply Sales and Rentals and general advice on the buying process in Spain with our collaborating bank, Santander.
Over the past 20 years, Dolphin Properties has grown alongside the development of Villamartín.
But, what if you are a “competitor” of Spanish Homes online?
Estate agents should consider collaborating with Adam Cook and Ian Comaskey for several key reasons that would bring value to both the agents and their clients:
1. Expertise in basic Construction and Refurbishment
During Covid times in particular we started refurbishing houses that our clients were struggling to sell. For example, we took on a San Jose apartment in LA Zenia that we knew was worth 135,000 or more. However, the owner had a long term tenant, a bachelor and let's say the condition of the apartment was less than perfect. We valued the property at just 110,000 to the seller. We reached an agreement instead whereby we spent 5,000 to refurbish the property. Quickly we sold it for 130,000. The seller got a better price, the buyer got a great deal on a key ready property and everyone wins.
2. Client Satisfaction and Value Addition
Collaborating with us allows estate agents to offer more than just property sales. Now we can help them provide a full-service experience that includes renovations or upgrades, NIE numbers, bank finance and more. This means agents can offer solutions to buyers looking for homes that no other agent has access to, significantly expanding their potential market.
3. Trusted Reputation
Comaskey Properties sold our first house back in 2002, Dolphin just a couple of years later and Spanish Homes Online have been selling high end property since 2018. Our group has built a solid reputation over the years. Clients are more likely to trust Spanish estate agents who work with reputable partners, ensuring that their investments are handled with care and professionalism.
4. Efficient Turnaround for Investors and Buyers
For investors or clients purchasing properties that require improvements or customizations, working with us ensures an efficient, seamless process. We can quickly turn properties around, helping estate agents close deals faster, while buyers get a property ready to their specifications in a shorter time frame.
5. Spanish Expertise and Local Knowledge
As a local company familiar with the building, tax and legal regulations, architecture, and trends in the Costa Blanca region, we bring valuable local expertise to the partnership. Estate agents benefit from this knowledge, as we ensure compliance with local laws and provide insights into what buyers in the region are looking for in terms of style and functionality.
6. Increased Sales Opportunities
We also operate the best investment company on the Costa Blanca. Quite the statement, we know. What if your buyer doesn't want a rent to buy or commercial investment? There is probably no better IRR on the Spanish property market than our Equity Release portfolio. Again, a grand statement, but one we can stand over. If your buyer is open to new ideas, why not share our exclusive portfolio with them? We can arrange deals form 50,000 euro to tens of millions through our Collaborators Elija lawyers.
7. Turnkey Solutions for Clients
Together with estate agents, builders, engineers, our partner rental agents and lawyers, we can offer clients turnkey solutions. Buyers can purchase a property and have it customised or refurbished without the hassle of coordinating multiple contractors. We do that for your clients. This enhances the overall buying experience and increases client satisfaction.
By working with any member of the Spanish Homes Online group, collaborating estate agents can differentiate themselves in a competitive market, offer more comprehensive services to their clients, and ultimately close more sales with higher client satisfaction.
Are you convinced yet that you should be working with Dolphin Properties, Spanish Solutions, Equity Release Spain, Simply Sales and Rentals or Spanish Homes Online?
