During the preparation of our search-trip for a house in Alicante region, we got to know Lisa Frain’s real estate office offering houses and apartments. We really did not know what we were looking for, of course we had ideas, but needed to learn a lot about what they meant in reality. Like no other agent, Lisa, as the owner, and Lyndsey in the office asked the right questions to get our thoughts going and proved careful listeners, thereby selecting available houses well in line with our thoughts.
During our actual trip in the region, we had many experiences with agents showing us around, but never got quite got the feeling of understanding each other as with Lisa. She really appreciated the nature of our initial search, trying to make up our minds on what we actually valued in a property. We needed time to just explore the area and our requirements in the beginning. Her suggestions added a lot of value in that exploration journey, and she had us try this and that, never with the purpose to ‘efficiently nail a deal’. You really need such coaching that as a newcomer to the area and first time buying a house abroad.
We are very happy having been able to make a very conscious choice on what we wanted, which was actually quite different from what we had in mind when we started. Our search and discovery was very successful and the friendship we developed with Lisa during this journey proved invaluable.
Thank you Lisa and Lyndsey, you are great coaches!
Cheers, J
