Choose Hondón’s Local Real Estate

Forgive us for blowing our own trumpet but did you know…

We womn the Business of the Year!Hondón Villas, unknown to us, were nominated and voted for by our clients for the “Business of the Year” 2015 as part of the annual “Pride of Spain” awards by the Costa Blanca People.

The “Pride of Spain” awards ceremony was a great night out and many clients came to see us WIN a nice trophy, a pleasant accolade to our work ethic.

Maureen Cook, Business Owner

Maureen Cook has managed many Real Estate offices in the UK and Spain winning sales & service awards galore! As the top selling female agent for Med Sea Plc she achieved an unheard of 70%+ conversion for Inspection Trip clients on the Costa Blanca South, sales worth many millions of Euros.

Maureen has been an agent pretty much all her working life, very few local agents, if any are even trained, less had the experience. She has 30+ years experience with the likes of the biggest UK agents: Halifax, YourMove, Birstow Eves, Manning & Staintons and more… meaning she is trained to a corporate level of service. She herself has appointed and trained 100’s of staff over the years who have also gone on to be successful agents. It’s a pedigree she is proud of.

Hondon Valley Property Agent

She prides herself on her people skills, a friendly no-nonsense personality and helping people from all walks of life and nationalities to get that dream house. In over 30+ years she has never pressured a single person to buy a house that was not suitable for them. With a relentless hunger for helping people from the minute she meets them and beyond the sale process, she can be counted on for support as a service provider. Many clients become friends and happily recommend her services. Repeat business through word-of-mouth is testament to her hard work here in Hondón.

Investment & the Lowest Agent Fees in Hondón

Choose us, as we re-invest. Hondón Villas have invested in the last 8+ years, 1000’s € in the local community, in people, various offices, multi-level marketing and equipment. We employ local people and pay their taxes, pay rent, buy cars, mobiles, etc which helps facilitate the local economy. Many other agents cannot or will not do that?

Because of this continual working expense and investment we have the cheapest fee for Hondón area property sales. Many other agents here without the same overheads are charging you far too much to make far to a big fat profit when working from home or a car!

Hondon Real Estate Office

Always Improving, Always Expanding

And expansion or improvement is never far from Maureen’s mind. We have neede bigger premises three times already in Frailes. And indeed we just announced we will be opening a second office in the area – no other local agent here has done that before either. So we take the risk and plough money back into the Hondón community.

So can we ask and encourage you to choose us as a local agent. There simply is no-one else in the Hondon area with that expertise, passion or knowledge for property or the area, even ones claiming to be international experts, trained, selling for years or making out they are bigger than they really are.

Hard work is how we got this far from scratch.

So, whilst our numerous staff probably cannot sell every house, be assured we will try our very hardest in a professional and trustful way.

If you can, and if you have enjoyed the service recommend us, rate us, review us as Hondon needs an honest hard-working team in Real Estate. Without you we can’t do the job we love! We hope to be here in the Hondón Valley for years to come…

We believe in the future of Hondón Real Estate, we are here to stay, re-invest, help the community and think we can claim to very good at what we do, indeed top agent in the area for sales and service. We already have plans to extend our service into the next 5 years at least … God willing, the Brexit confusion, and the Spanish economy will not stop us.

Thank you for reading if you got this far.  Love & happiness from the Hondón Villas team.

Footnote: Avoid confusion. We are not “Hondon Valley Homes” nor do we collaborate with Steven Bromley, the owner.  We have two real offices in the area you can visit. Please ensure you call our telephone numbers and visit the correct website. www.

Driving in Spain : Roundabouts

Spanish Highway CodeIf you have driven in Spain already you’ll know it can be frustrating and bewildering. It has also been known to induce Road-Rage! Why is it so hard to grasp?

Apparently the Spanish “Highway Code” (Codigo de Trafico y Seguridad Vial (pdf)) is about 1000 pages long! (in Spanish of course). So realistically you will not read it and judging by experience not many locals have read it either.

Is it any different in other countries? There will be cause and blame from both locals and foreigners not familiar with Spain’s road laws and of there can be the usual disregard for other road user’s safety.

So what about Roundabouts in Spain?

Drivers here already know one of the most hair-raising driving situations here in Spain is usually at roundabouts. It can sometimes feel more like the fair-ground dodgems and a free-for-all guessing game of lane changing. Of course a lot of drivers do not even signal their intentions (lazy!). So you need to be very careful of other drivers on “glorietas” when driving in Spain.

Driving in Spain : Glorietas
Driving in Spain : Glorietas (click to enlarge)

It should be quite simple: Under normal circumstances you should always exit the roundabout from the right hand lane.

Remember that you must stay to the right and drive as far to the right as possible when travelling around a roundabout in Spain. The right hand lane is the normal driving lane. Try and think of the roundabout as a normal road that has curves.  Have a look at the graphic above:  Car A and Car B is good driving but C, D and E is bad driving and could impede others drivers or worse still cut-off or force an accident.

If (due to traffic or lane markings approaching the roundabout) you need to enter the roundabout in a left/middle lane then ensure you still move over (and signal) to the right lane in time to exit the roundabout ( like CAR B ).

The principals are similar to the UK rules but of course in Spain we drive on the right.

The main thing is to be very aware of other drivers as unfortunately far too many do not know the above rules… you will be cut-off and will see many near-misses on Spanish roundabouts! Keep calm!
