Great experience 🙂 Thank You Christofer and Start Group

I was very pleased and satisfied with the service I received from Start Group and Christofer Fogelberg when I bought my property in May 2015. I felt this agent was different from many that I have dealt with before. In a lot of cases I was shown properties which did not meet my requirements and a lot of time was wasted. However, I felt Christofer listened and has a complete understanding of what I wanted. Nothing was too much trouble. I felt he was passionate about finding the perfect property for me. Always helpful and professional with a personal touch from start to finish. His knowledge of the area is also outstanding! I would highly recommend this agent to anyone who is looking for a property. No need to look anywhere else. They take care of everything, even offer excellent after sale service. As a new home owner in Spain, it is re-assuring to know that they are there to assist you with all your household needs. Kind Regards, Toni Winslade

Quick and successful sale of our apartment

Once we had decided to sell our apartment we got into contact with Jennifer at Start Group after a solid recommendation from good a friend. From the very beginning we received very high level of personal service, after the initial do diligences the sales process went very quickly. Throughout the whole process I felt well informed and could rest assured that my interests were in good hands. In short, my understanding is that Start Group are goal oriented, work efficiently and deliver high customer service. Jonas Turitz Sweden

My little piece of Heaven

With reference to the recent property I purchased in Mediterraneo – Calahonda, as you know I ran the ‘Gauntlet’ of Real Estate Agents, a term I use loosely as I found most generally speaking to lack professionalism. The ordeal of having to deal with the mediocre Agents was a frustrating affair even though I gave precise instructions to assist them in the search they sadly DID NOT LISTEN to what I was actually looking for. My search went as far as Casares, Estepona, Manilva, Le Duquesa to the West of Marbella and to the East of Marbella including Elviria, Cabopino, Calahonda, Mijas Costa, Mijas Golf and Mijas Pueblo but again nothing suitable was found simply because the Agents (Multiple) were showing apartments which just did not meet my criteria. It was by chance that I came across Start Group with initial contact made with Dave who did not apply any pressure, the next day he made contact and I briefed him on what I wanted. He was put under pressure by me as the property I was searching for was not to be a ‘Rental property or a pure ‘Investment’ but it was /is to be for me to retire in to and therefore it had to be ‘Right’. He showed me several properties which all held numerous aspects of suiting my criteria but they did not posses that certain ‘Feel’ which you only find when you walk in the ‘Right’ property. Through continued perseverance they found exactly what I was searching for…My little piece of Heaven, I immediately fell in love with the place and made an offer which accepted and again. StartGroup provided me with expert Market knowledge while undertaking this process. To those who are serious about finding their ‘Little piece of Heaven’ in the Costa Del Sol, I can without reservation highly recommend StartGroup to help you with your search. Sincerely Bill Andrews

From Gran Calahonda to Lotus, Azalea

Our experience with StartGroup has been excellent with both transactions we have concluded this year, being one the sale of a flat in Sitio de Calahonda and the other a purchase of a newly produced flat in La Cala de Mijas. Jennifer Fogelberg Clarke, who has been our contact at StartGroup, is efficient and right to the point, you do not lose a single minute of your valuable time visiting properties you would never buy. She captures your needs and she delivers. Jennifer is available at any time, she has a good humour. A laugh every now and then is more than welcome when you are hunting property or struggling to stick to your sale price in search for the buyer who would appreciate your object. Needless to say that the whole sale team from StartGroup which has been visiting our flat in Calahonda with likely buyers from the whole Europe have always been super correct, respectful, professional, nice and funny. We have never doubt about leaving our keys to them, in spite of the fact were actually living in the property which was for sale. All in all StartGroup is more than strongly recommended. Maybe they should rename the company to STARTGroup.

We bought a bank repossesion in Riviera del Sol from StartGroup.

We bought a bank repossesion in Riviera del Sol from StartGroup. After being on summer holiday on the Costa del Sol for 3 consecutive years, we decided to go ahead with the purchase of own home in Spain. During the Autumn of 2014 we spent countless hours in front of the computer online, looking for that perfect vacation home. We decided on some criteria that were important to us in our new home and made a list. For example, price/budget, location, size, view, swimming pool, etc. Due to the vast amount of properties on offer from sellers and real estate agents a like, we became quite confused. Fortunately, we received a recommendation from acquaintances in Norway, that we should contact Christofer Fogelberg at StartGroup. We were told that he was a serious, competent and reliable real estate agent. We contacted him via email and got an immediate response. He received our list of criteria and lists we had made with potential relevant properties. He came back to us with feedback with regards to our lists and in addition, he came with additional realistic and possible options. We agreed on a date for viewings right before Christmas. Christofer gave us a very warm welcome and had planned the house viewings very carefully, so that we could get a look at all of the homes during one day. It turned out that many of the ads we had seen online in advance, were quite different when seen in reality. With help from StartGroup and a recommendation from Christofer, we are today happy owners of a holiday home. The acquisition was not particularly easy, as the property was a bank repossession. We wish to thank Christopher for his patience and good help throughout the entire purchase process. We felt right from the start that we were confident in him and felt safe and cared for throughout the entire purchase process. He possesses a lot of knowledge and history of the region and we would give our highest recommendations to anyone who is in the same situation as we were. Finally, we would also like to thank the rest of the gang at StartGroup for good assistance. Kind regards, Gro and Gerardo, Norway

Great service

I conducted a "casting" among several real estate agencies to sell my house. The first two wanted to make the contract directly with the photos I took with my mobile phone and without seeing the house. At StartGroup, I contacted David Hemmings, who first wanted to see the house and then made a magnificent photographic report and interactive video. Throughout the sales process, the professionalism and kindness of the team have been excellent and have gone beyond what I believe was their strictly professional obligation, especially by León Ruiz, with whom I have dealt the most. I have sold my house and I can only thank them for making all the procedures easy for me, as I live 600 kilometers away.
