Finding our dream home in the sun.

We were looking to purchase a property in the Estepona region and found Steve's site on the internet following which we arranged a visit. Steve has access to an extensive list of properties and during our time in Spain arranged site visits to a number that matched our criteria. Whilst on our first trip we didn't find exactly what we were looking for Steve was able to identify a development which matched our requirements and committed to keep a watching brief. In the months following an ideal beach-side apartment became available on the complex. Steve negotiated the purchase for us and the legal formalities were completed very smoothly.
To make it our perfect holiday home we decided it required a serious makeover, which included having walls removed, underfloor heating fitted, new tiling, electrics and redecoration throughout. I put the work out to tender before awarding the contract to a team of English guys that Steve recommended who have been living and working in Spain for several years. Colin deserves a special mention for project managing the works. He kept in regular contact and everything was completed on time and to budget. We couldn't be happier with the finished article.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Steve to anyone who is serious about finding a home on the Costa. He has a wealth of knowledge an easy manner and if our experience is anything to go by I can guarantee he won't disappoint.

Simply Wonderful ! Huge thanks specifically to Steve for his incredible high level of support and co-operation with our recent property purchase in Spain. We have been hugely impressed with the excellent service, professionalism and prompt co-operation throughout the whole process. Steve made it all quite effortless and was on hand to help at all times, often late at night when normally you would never get a response! Having the confidence to know that we had contact 'on the ground' locally whilst we were out of the country made the whole transaction very straightforward and seemless. We simply couldn't have...

Steve made it all quite effortless and was on hand to help at all times, often late at night when normally you would never get a response! Having the confidence to know that we had contact 'on the ground' locally whilst we were out of the country made the whole transaction very straightforward and seemless. We simply couldn't have done it otherwise and remain hugely grateful to Steve and I FIND MARBELLA. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you Steve and the team, you are truly our superstars.

Super service! It is easy to provide good service when the job in hand is simple and straight forward. The real test of quality of service is when the underlying job is difficult. We made Steve's job difficult by choosing to buy a problem property with a complicated history! The good news is that the story has a happy ending thanks to Steve.

Super service!

It is easy to provide good service when the job in hand is simple and straight forward. The real test of quality of service is when the underlying job is difficult. We made Steve's job difficult by choosing to buy a problem property with a complicated history! The good news is that the story has a happy ending thanks to Steve.

First off, Steve is a really nice guy and easy to deal with. He answers all of your questions quickly and efficiently. He knows the area inside out, and as a novice to buying in Spain, he got me up to speed very quickly on the areas, the system and the culture. This inside knowledge is invaluable, and if you are new to buying in Spain then you really need a Steve to guide you. No amount of google searches will give you the quality of advice that Steve can give.

Our transaction took about 10 months to complete, in-spite of us deciding to buy pretty much the first house that Steve showed us on the first day we met him. The difficulties related to the title to the house and a bank not releasing security. As I say, not simple, and that is where you really need the help of someone like Steve. We tried various ways of solving the problem, and we also started looking again, and in the end we got pretty much what we started out looking for on the same community, so it was a happy ending. Ten months from making an offer to closing is a long time, even in Spain, and in that time Steve maintained good contact, chased down the vendor and turned up on the closing to bring it over the line. Along the way Steve can help you with things like bank accounts and lawyers, and will even help you with lots of the nitty gritty practical issues involved in setting up a new home.

If you are thinking of buying in and around Marbella, why would you not want Steve to help you!

Excellent service! We have only good to say about Steve and iFind in Marbella. Steve was our agent in the area. He showed us several apartments. He always responded very quickly to our questions and he did a lot of work to find the best possible apartment for us. He really knows the area gave us important information. We did find an apartment, which filled all our demands. Also the process on making the contract etc went smoothly. Steve is also a very nice person! We can highly recommend Steve and I FIND MARBELLA.

Professional, Personable and Patient We initially dealt with Diane at I Find Marbella while we were still in the UK to narrow down areas and properties to view and then we dealt with Steve when we went to Spain. He cheerfully took us around to see many properties, including those he felt were not what we would want nor in an area where we would want to be, and in the end we bought the first villa Steve had taken us to which was exactly what we wanted and where we wanted to be.

We took possession of the villa last month and Steve is still helping us to sort out various services such as the TV, Internet. etc. We would certainly recommend Steve and his company to anyone looking to buy a property on the Costa del Sol.

Delight to work with!! I'll keep it short and sweet - if you want to buy a property in the south of Spain speak to Steve as I'm sure he can help. Cracking guy, honest, approachable and always happy to help. The process was smooth from start to finish. Thanks Steve

An Estate Agent with a Personalized Approach After working with Steve from iFind Marbella this August and purchasing a property through him, we are happy to recommend him as an estate agent.

An Estate Agent with a Personalized Approach

After working with Steve from iFind Marbella this August and purchasing a property through him, we are happy to recommend him as an estate agent.

Steve's very personalized approach sets him apart from other agents in the area. When working with him you quickly notice the benefits of a smaller agency that devotes its attention to each individual client. After discovering iFind Marbella and a few other agencies online via the AIPP website, we contacted each one directly to see which agents would be most responsive. Steve's personal phone call the very next day made him stand out as the only agent who responded with such attention. Without pressurizing at all, he clearly outlined the entire purchasing process so we would know exactly what to expect.

Steve listened to our list of priorities and prepared an appropriate itinerary based on them. All of the properties he showed us matched our criteria. At no point did he pressurize us about any property. We truly saw him as being "on our side."

Once we did decide on a property, Steve made sure that the process was moving along. He remained in contact with frequent updates and was always available and responded very quickly.

If you are looking for an estate agent who will truly listen and work for you, Steve at iFind Marbella is a great choice.

First Class Service Honest, Knowledgeable and Professional. We wanted to buy a holiday home in Spain for winter use and for summer rentals. We came across ifindmarbella via google. After the first contact with several agents, we chose to meet with ifindmarbella in Spain. They went that extra mile that sets them apart from others; showing us a range of properties, explaining in detail the positives and negatives of each property and the area it resided in. In the end, we found the perfect place and anticipate using these guys again for our next purchase. We would highly recommend Steve... Read More

A TOTAL PLEASURE FROM START TO FINISH For several years we have speculated about owning our dream holiday home in Spain but didn’t know where to start. We had looked at many properties on various websites and made tentative enquiries, from which companies then made contact. Much of these contacts promised a lot but failed to deliver or just ignored our search criteria. That said, one day we were contacted by Diane at iFind Marbella who spent a lot of time on the phone understanding our requirements and getting to know us.

A TOTAL PLEASURE FROM START TO FINISH
For several years we have speculated about owning our dream holiday home in Spain but didn’t know where to start. We had looked at many properties on various websites and made tentative enquiries, from which companies then made contact. Much of these contacts promised a lot but failed to deliver or just ignored our search criteria. That said, one day we were contacted by Diane at iFind Marbella who spent a lot of time on the phone understanding our requirements and getting to know us. Steve (Managing Director) then followed up on the discussions and we struck up regular dialogue.

Steve was always at the end of the phone (or whatsapp …..day or night !) to answer all of our questions and concerns. We met Steve early on in our break to Spain, patiently and enthusiastically he took us to view properties that met our criteria. I believe we set some sort of record with iFind Marbella……18 viewings in under 2 days !! Not something I’m sure he wants to repeat !!

Before we started the journey Steve predicted how the entire process would map out and it pains me to say it but he was entirely right about everything. The last house we viewed we bought, and Steve led the negotiations on our behalf.

Through the entire process we experienced all of the emotions that Steve had explained……..excitement, anxiety, disappointment, confusion but ultimately jubilation when we found the one. A complete rollercoaster !

We set off on this journey to find a property in the sun and in the end we found our dream holiday home and a new friend. We cannot thank Steve and the team from iFind Marbella enough and would thoroughly recommend them to anyone who is considering buying a property on the Costa del Sol.

Looking forward to sharing a G&T with Steve when we are next back out

Thank you for everything

A great buying experience
A real pleasure dealing with a professional Estate Agent.

After making a decision to buy in Spain with another couple, we spoke with Steve and he lined up a number of properties to view. After being picked up at the airport, Steve found the balance between a break for all of us and viewing the right properties. On the first day of viewing, Steve took us to a selection of properties, fitting our criteria for price and requirements on bedrooms. Using this as a benchmark, we decided that we were best with a townhouse, not an apartment as we had first thought, and we discussed the right areas we would wish to be. It helped having someone with excellent local knowledge to guide here.

So, Steve went away and the second day focused on our newly discussed requirements. We had a selection of the right properties. With 4 people to please, all with slightly differing views, we went to see a number, followed by an early finish for us to enjoy some sun and a G and T by the beach! We made a decision on day 3 and the legals were painless and easy to sort on day 4.

We went home happy. However, the searches came back and the property didn't have the right permissions on building. It was flagged during the searches, conducted by a thorough lawyer called Juan. So, we pulled out. This was frustrating for us but must have been for Steve too, as he had spent much time and expense with us that week. No costs for pulling out were levied and even the lawyer didn't charge us for efforts he had expended.

It made us more determined to find somewhere in Spain and Steve was again on hand for our next visit, just 2 months later. Although I didn't attend the next trip, our friends did, found a place with Steve's help and we went ahead. I am sitting on the balcony now typing this!! It was at a good price but needed a little work. Again, Steve sorted the builder and the access to the house so a lot of work was completed before my first visit.

The whole buying experience has been great. Added to this is the fact that Steve is not an agent that disappears after the sale has gone through. I have asked him for assistance on the best internet, where the local gym is, best restaurants etc and he answers on email. Perfect for someone who is finding their feet in the area.

So, the message is, buy through Steve. He is the right kind of estate agent and one that goes above and beyond selling a property. Also, if you even wanted a phone reference, I'd be happy to provide. Just ask Steve, he has my number......
