Client Testimonials
We approached V.I.P Almeria when we considered selling our villa in Mojacar. The summer is here so we thought maybe in the next year it would sell. Steven came up and helped us with our paperwork, made arrangements for taxes, photographed the house and even made a video. He came back within a few days and said he had an offer, we had not even done a viewing yet, and two weeks later we had sold. Steven made the whole process so easy, took his time with us and right through the signing and afterwards is still there for us. We know what it is to be V.I.P Client. We recommend V.I.P Almeria.
I have know Steve for a few years and always recommend him to friends who are looking to buy in Mojacar. Steve has so much knowledge about the industry and Mojacar that I would be surprised if he couldn't help you to buy or sell. Steve has just sold our apartment and he put so much time and effort into the viewing and the actual sale process, we feel we can leave everything in his hands as he is totally trustworthy and professional. We regard Steve as a friend who will go the extra mile to satisfy you. Another important thing is that he communicates well which is really important when your in the UK and you have to rely on someone for their expertise and guidance, he always returns your calls and emails so you know what is happening. The staff at VIP are also friendly and helpful. To sum it up use VIP you won't be disappointed. Marion and Glyn Elshaw
VIP came recommended to us by Olive Properties / Bedar. Having posted our apartment on the web in mid March, we were astonished to find that Steve had secured us a deal, dealt with all the buraucracy and lodged our funds to our bank in less than 12 weeks. He was simply amazing - like a whirlwind in how he just took the reins and jumped every hurdle on our behalf. He just took any element of stress out of our hands and managed the entire process with gusto. Well done Steve and we wish you every success at VIP.
Hi Steven, David and I just wanted to say a huge thanks for all your help. From our initial email in Uk to our meetings in Villaricos your help in every way has been second to none. As you know our hearts were set on the Harbour Lights Development at Villaricos and that is were you gave us a headache! You spoiled us with choice, with all the different options you presented. Trying to decide on which option was our only problem as one was nicer than another! We really appreciated your help and input, second and even third viewings never a problem. This purchase has been the most stress free house purchase we have ever made. Once more a huge thanks for helping us find our lovely new home and all your help and support along the way. A very happy David & Elizabeth
It is unlikely that we would have settled in Mojacar if it had not been for VIP Almeria. At no time did they hesitate to iron out a problem,and long after we arrived they were aways there to assist. We cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone contemplating moving to this area. Two very contented residents Laurance and Olivia Blackwell
