“Dear Martina:
We have been living in our wonderful new “winter getaway” for three weeks and now I will finally take the time to thank you and your team for the super fast and uncomplicated purchase. In Germany one sometimes wonders what real estate agents earn their commission for. Here things were very different and my husband and I do not regret a single dollar of your fee! Thanks to your great negotiating skills you were able to get us an agreeable sales price, and your careful examination of the property documents saved us from damages in the future if we decide to resell. That alone was worth the investment! We also greatly appreciate the fact that, after the sales contract was signed, you kept your word and accompanied us, who are newcomers to the language, during the paperwork “marathon” with the different authorities. People should know that without really good knowledge of Spanish, purchasing real estate in Uruguay is a risky business, to say the least. But now that we know that all of the papers were completely checked by legal experts, we can fully enjoy our little house with a sea view. And that is what we do every day!
For us you were the main contact person and intermediary between the different parties (buyer-seller, architect-building authorities, notary public-authorities, etc.). And at every meeting, you showed so much positive energy that it was also a pleasure for us to meet with you. But working in the background of course there was a network that you have put together of very reliable people, without whom it certainly would not have been possible to get through the whole process in just six weeks. Please extend our sincerest thanks to all of them as well!
We wish you continued success and hope to see you again soon although not for business purposes!
Yours truly,”
Carmen
“Dear Martina:
When we decided to sell the house, we did not realise that it would be so difficult. There are many real estate brokers on the market offering their services, but it seems that very few of them are able to fully take into account the interests and wishes of the sellers as well as the buyers.
Thanks to your efforts, we did not have to wait very long to meet with prospective buyers, and so we were able to find a reliable buyer quickly, and we know that our old house is now in good hands.
In addition to your professionalism in business matters, we greatly appreciated the personal contact we had with you.
You always made yourself available to us, and you also found the time to share a coffee and interesting conversation that wasn’t just about business.
Best regards,”
Vera and Wolfgang
“Dear Mrs. van Bevern:
We would like to thank you for our very good experience with you and the great help you provided us in order to seek out and find a suitable property. Thanks to the time you devoted to us and the many visits to different houses, we were finally able to find a lovely house in El Pinar. Everything went very well. Your knowledge and your careful work, and the time you took for the various visits, made it a pleasant experience for us. Without you, we would not have succeeded in buying a home, and we are happy that you accompanied us the whole time. The human exchange was also very reassuring in this new phase of immigrating to Uruguay. Thank you very much for supporting us with your advice and your help, also with the notary and interpreting work.
For any real estate needs in the future we will come to you again, and we will recommend you to our circle of friends.”
