Having knowing Steven in a personal capacity for many years now and witnessed just how driven and professional he is in business , his integrity and customer service are second to none. A true gent and would have no hesitation doing business with him or recommending him to anyone.
If you are looking to buy on the Costa Almeria, Steven is your man. He listens to what you want and makes sure that you have a good idea of the area, before you make your final decision. No pressure, just sound advice and a good professional team around him supporting and helping you every step of the way. I went down to Mojacar in November 2011 after already having had a helpful email correspondence with Steven during after which I was able to focus more clearly on the area best suited to me. Steven did everything he promised and more. He took care of me for the whole time I was in Spain, as well as coming up with a great property on the beach at a competitive price. As someone who has used estate agents in the UK, Steven is a breath of fresh air and a pleasure to do business with - and I look forward to a great ongoing rental service. Thank you so much Steven!
I met Steven in 2005. All this time he has been helpful, honest and extremely professional. VIP is a great company to do business with and he will make the decision of buy or sell your property stress free. I will always recommend Steven and VIP!
What can I say? There really aren't enough positive superlatives to describe the superb, fantastic service you and your team gave me in the selling of my property in Mojacar, recently. Throughout some hard years, Steven was always there to support me in a professional, but also a friendly and caring way. Extraordinary experience. I've bought and sold quite a few houses over my now many decades and I've never had anything approaching this degree of dedication and personal engagement - it was of a different order altogether. Fantastic, Steven and co.! I'm hugely indebted to you and just hope I get to see you all again before too long. Gracias, Jill.
VIP came recommended to us by Olive Properties / Bedar. Having posted our apartment on the web in mid March, we were astonished to find that Steve had secured us a deal, dealt with all the buraucracy and lodged our funds to our bank in less than 12 weeks. He was simply amazing - like a whirlwind in how he just took the reins and jumped every hurdle on our behalf. He just took any element of stress out of our hands and managed the entire process with gusto. Well done Steve and we wish you every success at VIP.
