Buyer's Guide

Ugh! Buying, trying to buy... it turns out that it's hard and hard! We took photos of the sales and rental posters hanging on balconies and windows; we review prices on real estate websites and compare photos, descriptions and offers; we take photos of the offers in the windows of the real estate agencies and compare them with the Web portals; we look on Google, Bing and wherever. And then we aim, we favorite (often verb) and we create lists; we send requests for information to owners and agencies. And we took out the calculator several times; or the calculator on the Web: expenses, taxes and mortgages. Or, simply, we put a limit on our searches ... but, just in case, we go a little beyond it. And back to the map and the calculator, perhaps financial. In short: a whole process, repeated over and over again.

Find the farm we want... or the one we need

Go! Seven (or more) ads with the same photos, similar text and similar price. The same farm, of course. But that other one seems ... it seems the same, but they are others, more photographs, and other texts, more complete. But it looks like the same estate. Because it is. But it is our vision, the vision mariatomasa.com of the farm. Because our agents visit it with tranquility and try to reflect in their report what will be found in their visit: the good and what is not so good; the advantages and their backlights, the luminosity of the living room and the narrowness of the corridor, the beauty of the views and, perhaps, the antiquity of the toilet ... or, simply, the homogeneity of the whole. Buyers deserve reliable, reliable information that makes them decide on a farm or simply move on to another. Because... can anyone really think that the photos are going to impose themselves on the reality of the visit? Our agents know the farms they manage; and they report them as they are, in their context and with their advantages and possible disadvantages (without elevator ... but in a building of historical value; with a doorman but with higher community expenses; with high rent but with heating and hot water included in the price). In mariatomasa.com we have hundreds of farms that can be adjusted to what you want ... but, above all, to what you need. No grey areas.

Legal guarantees

Other agencies have external or central lawyers (in that distant central that is close by telephone); we have abogad@s in payroll that provide certain legal security (in the sense of undoubted security) to our clients. It's that easy. Our legal director (Eneritz Urquijo) heads the Legal Department of mariatomasa.com, distributed between our offices in Bïlbao and Getxo. And he does it with the security that an extensive (and intense) experience in the real estate sector provides him. Because our contracts do not start from forms (they are drafted ad hoc for each client, for each situation, for each sale or rental) and their objective is to protect our clients. Nothing less. Nothing less.

Negotiation in the sale and purchase

Is the starting price of a farm reasonable? To what extent can we negotiate? And ... under what conditions? In most cases the owners sell for money and those interested would buy for money ... and perhaps for other considerations that cover the community of neighbors, the socio-economic environment of the farm, the proximity to multi-functional complexes (sports centers, shopping centers, etc.). Or not: perhaps the buyer is an investor looking for profitability in the medium term ... or in the short term. Or maybe the purchase depends on an associated sale (that of the current floor); or, simply, we find ourselves with a financing dilemma. In any case... we have experts in each issue and technical-commercial managers who, with the help of the personal agent that we will assign them, will help them in establishing the parameters of the negotiation. We have an extensive real estate portfolio ... and also with properties that are not advertised (by agreement with their owners), so we can offer future buyers or tenants the best of each area. And negotiate their interests, of course.

The buying (and renting) process

The purchasing processes are not linear, but it is easier for us to reflect them like this... when they have been fulfilled. And we comply with purchases and buyers. Of course?
