It is also my last month at La Boutique · Canary Real Estate, the real estate agency that has been my home for the last three years. As I write this blog my eyes are filled with tears and I have many mixed emotions.

Signing an exclusive agreement yes or no?
24 10 - 2023
Elena H. GhazaleLa Boutique SalesManager & Coach• SIGNING AN EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT YES OR NO - LA BOUTIQUE •Dear reader, this is possibly one of the questions that causes the most uncertainty in the real estate industry.In this blog I will try to clear up any doubts you may have. For many, it is a question related to the ideals of the seller. For me, without any doubt, it is a question that only concerns your property and its target audience. In other words, selling exclusively depends on your house and not on you. Nor does it depend on the real estate agency or their personal agenda. For me, selling a €100,000 flat is not the same as selling a €500,000 house. Or maybe Luis Vuitton uses the same sales techniques as Zara?There are a number of statistics that tell us about the number of...

How to increasethe value of my home Elena H. GhazaleLa Boutique Sales Manager & Coach If you are thinking of selling your home, this blog will be of interest to you. Over the 20 years that I have been in this sector, I have come across everything when it comes to selling a house. Renovated houses, houses in ruins, houses with designer furniture, others with second-hand furniture. Some of them comply with an order in terms of colours and materials and others look like a collage where the Middle Ages are mixed with post modernism. In the end, if we speak coldly, houses are living spaces where the ...

Buying my house and the terror barrier
17 05 - 2023
Buying my house and the terror barrier Elena H. GhazaleLa Boutique Sales Manager & Coach T he other day I was talking to a friend of mine. Julian wanted to buy a house and called me for some advice. Actually, being from the Canary Islands, he knows the market well and can tell the difference between what would be a good buy and what would not. However, knowledge is not all that is needed to take that big leap. For many people, buying a house is a big decision. The vast majority of us have to take on a mortgage and a responsibility that can last up to 35 years. All this, together with the fear that is transmitted to us day and ...
