We have decided to
update our website.
Essentially it will
mean that we will include links to agencies here in Teramo that we
have got to know over the years and that we feel we can work with.
It allows us to have a
larger database of properties and people are free to either contact
us or the site owners direct is they see a property they like.
Of course we still
believe that we offer the best option of finding a property deal on a
property that you consider suitable. One of the difficulties of
clients that start a search on the internet is having to rely on
other peoples opinions about what is or not worth visiting and how
they get enough information regarding a property to make up their
minds to visit it.
In the past we have
been able to impress clients that have used other agencies by giving
honest opinions before they make a visit.
Well this has always
come at a cost we have often spent many days with people and many
more in follow up visits with even in negotiations only to find that
minds have changed or budgets have suddenly been reduced .
With costs always
increasing and commitments to follow through diminishing we have come
to a conclusion that we will no longer be showing houses to people
that do not supply clear and comprehensive property requirements. We
will offer a property finder service that will involve payments to us
before any visits or follow up investigations. Should a property be
bought as a result of this the initial payment will be taken into
account and charges adjusted to reflect what we have already been
paid.
Basically this approach
will stop us wasting our time,effort and money and hopefully for
those that have firm budgets and attainable search requirements with
a serious commitment to purchase a property here a response to them
that assures an equitable outcome for all.
We will be publishing
here our charges and our new approach. We obviously have taken into
account this will reduce enquiries but the fact is that frivolous
property clients waste our time and that of our Italian clients and
this will assure a more serious approach in our minds.
