A Tree for a Sale Program: More sales, more trees...

Keeping with my program and following recent sales, we have planted three new trees. They are to remember the ones that left and to remind the new owners where they have their tree and see it grow.

It addition, it helps to our deteriorated little world.

SOLD -- Penthouse in Buenavista de La Quinta

This is a good one. A top class property. Top qualities and breath taking views in one of the best urbanizations of the area: La Quinta.

My client is really satisfied with the purchase.

Keep on and on...

Step by step to improve. I have obtained the prestigious CRS (Council of Residential Specialist) designation

In a really interesting meeting with some of the best real estate agents of Spain, Inmocionate, I received the official CRS (Council of Residencial Specialist) designation. To obtain that designation you have to pass some courses, have a number of years of real estate experience and prove that you are producing on a consistent basis. It is an american professional designation that I am proud of being able to obtain.

The Council of Residential Specialists is the largest not-for-profit affiliate of the National Association of Realtors, with its headquarters in Chicago. It is composed of nearly 40,000 Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) Designees and Candidates/General Members across the United States and the world. According to the Council's website: "the association was created to attract and retain those Realtors seeking the knowledge, tools and relationship-building opportunities needed to maximize their income and professionalism in residential real estate."

I see it as another step to keep on learning and progressing to be able to offer a better service to my clients. Step by step to improve.

A Tree for a Sale Program by Alfonso Lacruz -- This time in Las Terrazas

Keeping on with the Program "A Tree for a Sale". The tree is not only a help to our damaged environment but also a connection point for those who left the place after a number of years and those who are starting a new life in Benahavis.

In this case, a new almond tree will show us the beginning of  the spring in Las Terrazas.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Siguiendo con el Programa "Un Árbol por una Venta", un nuevo almendro nos avisará de la llegada de la primavera en Las Terrazas. El árbol no es solo una ayuda a nuestro deteriorado medio ambiente sino también un punto de encuentro entre aquellos que dejan atrás parte de su vida y aquellos que empiezan un nuevo camino.

Great Success of today's Open House at Villa Anna

It has been a long day but it was worth the time dedicated to the event. It has been a complete success with a number of real estate agents, clients and friends coming to visit the house.

However, it has been not only that. With the help of my friend and colleague Rainer Kraft, we have managed to get the German NTV channel, a national news channel, to take the property for a report they are preparing on the real estate market of the Costa del Sol. They loved the house and said they will use it for their report. Therefore, we will have the house on the German TV with what it means on marketing exposure. Great effort again by my team that prepared a great event.
_________________________________________________________________________________

A sido un día muy largo pero al final ha valido la pena. El Open House ha sido un éxito y hemos contado con la visita de un gran número de agentes inmobiliarios, clientes y amigos.

Y, no solo eso, gracias a la ayuda de mi colega y amigo Rainer Kraft, hemos conseguido que el canal de noticias alemán NTV, un canal de noticias a nivel nacional en Alemania, viniera a ver la propiedad para incluirla en un reportaje que están haciendo sobre la situación del mercado inmobiliario en la Costa del Sol. Les ha encantado la casa y han dicho que seguro que la utilizaban para el reportaje. La casa saldrá en una televisión nacional alemana con ello que supone de publicidad y exposición al mercado de la misma. Mi equipo ha hecho un gran esfuerzo para preparar un magnífico evento que se ha visto recompensado con la aparición el la televisión alemana.

Beautiful property, amazing views and quite location. The team did a perfect job to be able to sell to one of our Swiss clients. As every operation in this complicated times, it turned a little bit complicated but at the end the results are there.

The result was that only one week after listing we had the property sold.

SOLD! Now a plot on the Ronda road.
