Client Testimonials
Stephen --Honest guy great salesman what you see is what you get !!
As an expatriate living in Spain and recently having to sell a property and return to the U.k. I would like to make the following sincere comments regarding VIP. Never in my long experience with estate agents have I ever had such excellent and cheerful service when selling a property with some of the problems which can and indeed did occur over this sale. Dealing with all the various authorities was expertly handled in Spanish by Mr Howlett and his assistant leaving me free of worry and confident of the good outcome which occurred in a remarkably short time. William Cameron
Dear Steve, I would just like to thank you for all the help and support that you gave to me during the purchase of my apartment in Mojacar. You read all these horror stories of purchases going wrong and I was very nervious, but you made everything simple for me. There was no pressure and you talked me through everything. Nothing was too much trouble for you, I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone. I can't believe that 1st viewing the property in October and then getting the keys in November all done and dusted, incredible. So again thank you very much Kind regards Best wishes Judith
