Real Estate Agents & Lawyers
ALTEAINVEST director and in-house lawyer, Carlos Barreras, obtained his Degree in Law from the University of Santiago de Compostela and specialised in Real Estate and Urban Law. He also graduated as a Real Estate Expert in Valuation (University of Valencia, 1985), and among others, he holds several qualifications such as Urban Law (Planning, 1980; Urban Management and Discipline, 1982) and a diploma in Real Estate Valuations (University of Alicante, 1991).
Most of the real estate agents in Altea do not have a solid legal background or specialized knowledge which would allow them to offer real guarantees regarding the legal issues or practical problems that could arise when buying or selling a house.
Most of the real estate agencies in Altea only sell a few properties a year and therefore it is very unlikely that they have sold enough properties in a given area to use their prices as a reference.
Over the years ALTEAINVEST has sold more than 2,000 properties in Altea and therefore we know the sector well and how it evolves. We have valuable information that other real estate agencies do not have and cannot have.
At ALTEAINVEST, as a qualified and authorised Real Estate Agency (API), we have more than 45 years of experience and have sold more than 2,000 properties in Altea and the surrounding area. We have direct access to the Land Registry data, which allows us to know exactly the REAL prices of each recently sold property, a clear advantage over other agents who are not API and do not have this fast and reliable access.
Most real estate agents in Altea do not carry out objective or professional valuations, as they do not have sufficient experience in recent sales or direct access to data from the Land Registry, which contains the ACTUAL prices of properties recently sold in the area. Some agents even inflate prices to attract properties, a practice that ALTEAINVEST rejects, not admitting properties overvalued by the owners.
Our prices are extremely competitive because each property is priced according to objective and professional criteria. We compare surface area, location, orientation, usable square metres, amenities and other factors with those of similar properties that have been sold recently — not only through our agency, but also those sold directly by their owners or through other estate agents — and we also compare them with other similar properties currently on sale in the area.
In addition, our founder established transparency and affordability in costs and taxes as pillars to make buying or selling a simple and accessible process. Other agents, due to lack of knowledge or professionalism, often do not offer complete and correct information.
Finally, our services are backed by a professional liability insurance policy with HISCOX EUROPE, with a limit of 3.000.000 € per claim, a guarantee that not all real estate agencies in Altea can offer in the event of any incident, which is always possible, or if they make a mistake.
