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...

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 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 ...

4 Keys to sell my house fast

18 11 - 2022

• FIRST KEY • Determination is the first key to achieving what you are set out to do. "If I am not clear about what I want, I am rarely going to achieve it." Many times, I talk to clients who tell me that they are not in a hurry, or that for them the sale of their property is not urgent or decisive. Can you imagine? What does usually happen in these cases? The property simply doesn´t get sold. Why is that? Because in my experience, this sentence is the perfect excuse for wanting to sell at a high price or with unattractive conditions in a market that is becoming more and more demanding and intelligent. And the problem goes further than that. Not only is the property not sold, but in the mind of the potential buyer, the...

Investing in houses with a garden, the added value behind COVID

01 11 - 2021

The Covid-19 pandemic completely changed our perspective on housing. We have been accustomed in many cases to leaving the house in the morning to go to work and return at night ,and confinement has caused a change in our housing preferences. Many familieswho were confined to indoor flats, with few square metres, little or no natural light and no access to the outdoors, have begun to look for houses with a garden as a priority after the outbreak of the pandemic. Once the population has discovered that these flats do not meet their needs, they have moved on to look for a house with a garden, under the perception that space is more important than location. In Gran Canaria, specifically in the Maspalomas...
