Perfect holiday home!

We were on the hunt for a holiday home on the Costa del Sol and came in contact with StartGroup and Jennifer. From the first phone call until now we are extremely satisfied. Jennifer showed us a variety of properties patiently and after some tweaking of the budget, she found the perfect property for us. She also made sure it was a quick deal despite the fact that our decision was taken at the very last minute. After the successful purchase, the service from StartGroup has continued in a super manner with the help of Charlotte and her team in PropertyCare. We can really recommend StartGroup when you are looking for properties on the Costa del Sol. Wishing you all the best/ Benny Barrö o Marie Barrefors

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

From holiday apartment to permanent home

We used Start Group last year to both buy and sell our properties. The timing wasn't perfect as it was during the pandemic, but our experience with all the staff at StarGroup was very positive throughout the whole process and in particular with Jennifer. She was amazing right from our first meeting, she was so helpful, knowledgeable, kind and professional, and kept us informed of all the developments when we were unable to return to Spain. Nothing was too much trouble for her, and she really did go the extra mile for us. I would highly recommend Start Group, and if you deal with Jennifer, that's an added bonus! Rosie and Charlie, UK

Pleased vendors of amazing villa in Benalmadena

We are amazed about the professionalism and fast handling in the whole process. Jennifer has been very supportive and service minded, everything from the first meeting to help us with documents, show the villa to architects and so forth. You always get a phone call in the follow up process, which we really have appreciated. Me and my wife can absolutely recommend Start Group as your professional Real Estate agent.

It took just 3 weeks from viewing our dream property, to moving in!

The service we received second to none. It took just 3 weeks from viewing our dream property, to moving in! This was due to the expert and professional help given by Pascal van der Woude from Start Group. Pascal made the transaction smooth and easy, even introducing us to his recommended solicitor, who helped us through every step of the way. We would wholeheartedly recommend using Start Group to anyone thinking of purchasing a property on the Costa del Sol. Kate & Deryn Beynon

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
