We used Remax in Albufeira. We dealt with a lady called Nelda.
She was very helpful. It is a few years ago since we sold our apartment so not sure if she still works there. Good luck :) ]]> Thu, 02 Mar 2017 22:35:45 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/recommendations-for-estate-agents_topic9538_post101420.html#101420 <![CDATA[Recommendations for Estate Agents : stuart123 wrote:The fees are...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/recommendations-for-estate-agents_topic9538_post101417.html#101417 Author: Algarveaddick

I think the difference is that you are legally tied in with the agent in the UK. Here I understand quite a lot of people end up making a private deal with the buyer and cutting out the agent. I am not sure that it is strictly legal either, but as taking someone through the courts here takes years and years, no one gets pursued for what they owe. So honest folk end up paying more. Cry

Pauline what percentage is the buyer normally looking at knocking the seller down off the advertised price in your experience.
In UK I would be looking to knock down 5-10% if I was buying.

Agreed. Our contract is for 0.8% with a high street estate agent in the UK (haven't sold it yet though). 🙄]]> Thu, 02 Mar 2017 14:01:04 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/recommendations-for-estate-agents_topic9538_post101413.html#101413 <![CDATA[Recommendations for Estate Agents : The fees are really high compared...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/recommendations-for-estate-agents_topic9538_post101412.html#101412 Author: stuart123

We have decided to sell our house and would welcome any info on the selling process here. Are agents commissions all so high? Are there agents who are better at selling than others. We looked at selling a few years ago and the agents seemed completely uninterested. They seemed only interested in buyers.
Thanks in advance.]]> Thu, 18 Aug 2016 21:44:41 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/recommendations-for-estate-agents_topic9538_post99094.html#99094
