WOW! Millions Know about Hondón

Our IT people are telling us that our very own Hondon Villas websites have passed the 1.5 million visitors mark. INCREDIBLE to think we are such a small area and a real estate niche for inland Spain.

Record sale and visitors in 2018

To think that when we arrived in Hondon, Spain 13 years ago, there was no information on the web about the Hondón Valley. (even Google hadn’t found it back then LOL!) Yet the area still retains the same Spanish charm and has changed little really. For sellers this is great news as the local economy thrives on property sales and a new influx of buyers looking for that typically tranquil Spanish country lifestyle.

What’s more… that figure does no include the 10,000’s of visitors to our international portals and marketing partners, like A Place in the Sun, Right Move, Kyero, Prime Location and more. WOW again!

So selling through Hondon Villas gets you plenty of exposure, maybe that’s one of the reasons why we sell more houses in the area than any other local agent!

Thank you from a VERY HAPPY TEAM!

Not all Real Estate Agents are Created the Same

We know that Spanish based Estate Agents and Builders don’t, in general have a great reputation and with good reason during those boom boom years in the early 2000’s. Is it still the same now?

It’s certainly better since the “crash” of 2008. But unfortunately, there are signs that bad practise by some agents and builders still happens, even in this quaint old Hondón Valley. That saddens us greatly at Hondon Villas because it is a too wide a brush stroke that hurts the ones like us trying to work damn hard to ensure buyers and sellers get a good legal deal with the minimum of fuss and hassle

IMPORTANT: If you are ever uncomfortable with the actions, language, pressure sales or promises from other estate agents… JUST CALL US … WE WILL HELP YOU 100% – we want to be the model of quality service that other agents envy and clients want!  

AIPP – The Industry Standard

Hondon Valley Property AgentAs members of the AIPP (Association of International Property Professionals) we strive to fulfil and exceed their recommended best practises for fair and honest real estate services. In fact we are passionate about property and our service. We’ve been here 10+ years so we are not about to ruin our good name.

Alas, we know there are some non-local agents visiting the Hondon Valley with their clients who might follow that old shady path – but a few local agents still pull a trick or two (and we have had many instances of concrete and anecdotal evidence). We’ve had “Se Vende” boards stolen, our websites copied, web content & images stolen, lies told about us, “gazumping”, people laundering money, offered back-handers, doing black deals behind our backs and agents trying to steal our clients or destroy our reputation many times. These shady characters can be hard to spot if you are inexperienced and you put your trust in every word they utter. Don’t be mugged by ex-timeshare, fly-by-nights or out-of-town agents!

Hondon de las NievesBut for sure we usually spot a snake or rat and take stringent action, denounce or take other legal proceedings. We think it is important not only for our own reputation but also to ensure standards are improved for you the buyer or seller. As we all know bad news travels faster than good and we want to ensure it’s all good!

So… A Local Agents Should Know Better

At Hondon Villas we firmly believe the cream rises to the top. Our clients voted for us and we won “Business of the Year” in 2015 and have remained committed  to and invested in the Hondón areas.  We NOW HAVE TWO OFFICES in the area (both Frailes and Nieves)On the whole you are much better to stick with a local agent as a) they know the area and property market better and b) their reputation depends on repeat business and trust.

So our best advice is to be a little wary, slow down, don’t be rushed into anything, or give away your deposit money too quickly to an agent or builder or sign something you don’t understand without legal representation… but better still CALL Hondon Villas – we are local, experienced and trusted here. “Rip-off” is NOT something we entertain or condone.

Thank you,

> Maureen and the Hondon Villas Team. > www.hondonvillas.net

AIPP Membership because Standards Matter

We practise the AIPP StandardsHondón Villas were the first AIPP registered ESTATE AGENT in the HONDON VALLEY! Joining the AIPP pledges our commitment to uphold professional values, helps attract more discerning clients and networking with like-minded business partners.

The AIPP (Assoc’ of International Property Professionals) is an independent. non-profit making industry body aiming to improve the sales and purchase of property and real estate services. Membership is fee based to ensure only committed parties apply and to pay for the extensive features and benefits the AIPP offer.

Their website is here www.aipp.org.uk . They are also on Facebook and have a regular blog. They are active all year round to protect the consumer and help advise the industry (Agents, Developers, Lawyers, Media, Financial Services) to an better international property transaction and service level.

Buyng in Spain? A Free Guide from the AIPOBuying in Spain? Get a FREE BUYER’S GUIDE from the AIPP sister organisation… it’s a great place to start.

Hondón Villas have been verified members of this organisation for 4 years. In a nutshell they help promote and improve the real estate services required by overseas property providers, buyers and sellers. They publish a code of conduct on their site. Anyone can read about it and indeed complain if the conduct is poor. The AIPP will investigate and in worse cases can revoke someone’s membership.

Here is a networking video of the AIPP during a recent “Place in the Sun” exhibition in London. Yep the AIPP is alive and kicking and it’s members are an enthusiastic lot…

Hondón Villas gained membership (here is our AIPP page) for a few reasons and benefits. Firstly it’s what we strive for anyway : “professionalism” and to ensure the consumer gets a good reliable and honest service. In fact we strive to go beyond the AIPP guidelines. Also the AIPP are independent and non-profit making. Being independent helps protect both sides of the property process.

They run a tight ship in London HQ, publish guides and organise international networking events. They publish accounts and expenses for members to scrutinise. The AIPP are helpful in disputes and advice to all parties. They have legal eagles if we need them and are an established and respected organisation since 2006.

We benefit from that badge and membership. The fee is well worth the benefits and helps pay for the dedicated staff, work, materials and volunteers involved. An international organisation with over 350 members is not run on a shoe string and has to be paid for. Hondón Villas and many other agents are happy to invest the joining fee as a measure of our commitment to service quality and to show you the consumer we care about the service we provide.

The AIPP website has a list of members and openly publishes it’s policies. If you care about service and want to know what an agent should be doing for you then be our guest…. check out the AIPP against any other badge an agent might be wearing. You’ll find they cannot match up to the AIPP standards, materials, system and work ethic. Believe us, we checked already.
