Publicado en Google Eduardo LahozTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. He trabajado con José María para la compra de una propiedad en la zona y estoy muy contento de haber delegado en él todo el proceso legal. Lo que más me ha gustado es como nos ha mantenido informados en todo momento y lo rápido que hemos recibido respuestas durante el proceso. Todo es muy profesional, organizado y transparente.La atención ha sido muy personal y dedicada desde el primer momento. Se nota están muy acostumbrados a tratar con no residentes y, con la gestoría de al lado, lo que facilita enormemente el proceso. Otra cosa que recomiendo es que dimos poderes legales y plena confianza a José María para que llevara la gestión de la compraventa, ahorrándonos tener que desplazarnos varias veces. Sin duda volvería a trabajar con el y lo recomiendo al 100% a cualquiera que esté buscando seriedad, eficacia y un trato cercano y profesional. ¡Muchas gracias por todo!Publicado en Google Pavo JuricTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google.

We couldn't recommend him more, he talked us through the process, he was upfront about everything including the costs involved and most importantly kept us up to date with progress. He literally organised everything for us, including changing over electric and water supplies and bank transfers. José is professional and friendly and has great local knowledge when it comes to buying a property here in Spain. It's also really helpful that he speaks excellent English. We would recommend him to anyone.Publicado en Google frank spieckerTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Muy buen servicio.
