A Mum, A Daughter and A Welshman Walk Into an Estate Agency...
Let's be honest.
Every estate agent claims to have the best properties, the best service, the best local knowledge and the best coffee machine.
It's a bit like every pub claiming to serve the best Sunday roast. They can't all be right.
At Lisa Frain Real Estate, we'd rather be honest. Yes, we've got some fantastic properties on the Costa Blanca. Yes, we know the area inside out. And yes, we'll help you every step of the way. No, we haven't got a coffee machine!
But the real reason people buy with us?
The people.
So, without further ado, here are the top three reasons to buy with Lisa Frain Real Estate.
1. Lisa – The Mum and The Negotiator
Every successful business needs a boss.
Every family business needs a mum.
And every property buyer needs someone who isn't afraid to fight their corner.
Enter Lisa.
With years of real estate experience in both the UK and Spain, Lisa has seen pretty much everything the property market can throw at her. Booms, busts, bargain opportunities, overpriced villas, crazy buyers, crazy sellers, crazier estate agents!
Her superpower?
Negotiation.
While you're imagining where the sofa will go and whether the terrace is big enough for a barbecue, Lisa is already working out how to get you the best possible deal.
She's professional, knowledgeable and fiercely protective of her clients' interests.
Think of her as a property ninja.
A very friendly property ninja.
Who probably has your best interests at heart more than you do.
2. Frankey – The Daughter and The Glamorous One
Every team has that person.
The one who walks into a room and somehow looks effortlessly put together while the rest of us are wondering whether we've remembered to put deodorant on.
That's Frankey.
But there's far more to her than being glamorous.
Frankey has a natural warmth that instantly puts people at ease. Buying a property abroad can feel overwhelming. There are viewings, decisions, paperwork, legal processes and approximately one million questions.
Frankey is the calm in the storm.
She listens carefully to what clients actually want rather than what they think they want.
There's a difference.
You might start by saying you want a modern apartment near the beach.
Twenty minutes later, Frankey has gently helped you realise that what you really want is a villa with a pool, a lemon tree and enough terrace space for your entire family to descend upon every summer.
Clients often arrive as strangers and leave feeling like old friends.
It's one of the reasons so many buyers recommend Lisa Frain Real Estate to family and friends.
That, and the fact that Frankey somehow manages to make house hunting feel far more glamorous than it really is.
3. Callum – The Boyfriend and The Entertainment Department
Now we come to Callum.
Every team needs a wildcard.
Callum is ours.
Armed with a lovely Welsh accent and a wonderfully quirky sense of humour, he's proof that property viewings don't have to feel like a trip to the dentist.
Let's face it, buying a property can be stressful.
You worry about budgets.
You worry about locations.
You worry about whether you've just fallen in love with a house because it has a particularly attractive swimming pool, and didn't notice if all four walls were standing.
Callum has an uncanny ability to make the whole process enjoyable.
Spend a day viewing properties with him and you'll probably learn something useful, laugh more than you expected and leave wondering how house hunting became one of the highlights of your holiday.
His humour is occasionally unexpected.
Sometimes baffling.
Frequently excellent.
And always delivered with that Welsh charm that's almost impossible to resist.
Almost.
The Secret Fourth Reason
Technically this is a blog about three reasons.
But here's a bonus one.
Together, Lisa, Frankey and Callum aren't just a family but a team that's knowledgeable, approachable and genuinely invested in helping people find the right home.
There are no hard sells.
No pressure.
No estate agent clichés.
Just real people helping other people achieve their dream of owning a property on the Costa Blanca.
And if you happen to have a few laughs along the way?
Even better.
Thinking of Buying on the Costa Blanca?
Whether you're looking for a holiday apartment, a permanent home in the sunshine, or a property investment, the team at Lisa Frain Real Estate is ready to help.
Lisa will negotiate.
Frankey will listen.
Callum will probably tell a joke.
And together they'll help you find a property you'll love.
