Confidence in recommending the Start Group to others

We’re just back from a week’s holiday in the Calahonda area and you might recall this trip was primarily to take a look at the area so we could compare it to the Costa Blanca. While we didn’t intend to look at properties, we happened to walk past the Start Group offices while shopping and decided to go in for a chat. We met with Jennifer Fogelberg who was extremely helpful and she suggested we might like to take a look at a number of properties while we were in Spain. While Jennifer knew we were not yet ready to purchase a property, she still offered us the opportunity to view a selection of properties. This has given us a much clearer view of the type of properties we can consider against our budget and we have now been able to narrow down our search to one area in the Costa del Sol. Your recommendation has allowed us to establish a relationship with the Start Group and I wanted to let you have some feedback so you have a confidence in recommending the Start Group to others. Once again, thanks so much for your help. Kind regards Mrs J. Cox

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

Selling and buying over and over

Incredibly friendly and professional agents who really follow up their clients in the best possible way. We have both bought and sold property via Start Group and give them a warm recommendation. Jennifer in particular is recommended and she delivers at its best.

Great help from PropertyCare!

I wanted to let you know that we are very pleased with the property management service we have received so far. Our key contacts, Charlotte and Nicole, have been outstanding and always get back to us with any requests. Living in California and owning a new property in the Costa del Sol is not easy when it comes to keeping track of outstanding construction issues, improvements, and ongoing maintenance. That's why we are very happy we signed up for property care, and we feel that we have already received full value for the low yearly fee we paid. Kind regards, Mie and Erik Jarlström

We will definitely hire her again next time. Sincerely, Tuula

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
