I would give 6 stars if I could. Recently purchased an apartment in Sevilla, and considering we…read morewere in the US for most of the process, Jose made this as smooth as possible. HIs English is excellent; he has experience with foreigners buying property, so we feel lucky to have found him. Joaquina, a seasoned agent who, although spoke no English, showed us many properties (they even arranged a young translator during the tours in case my high school Spanish wasn't enough.) She listened to our feedback and helped us find an apartment that was a good fit for our taste and our budget. We were only there a few days so once she had an idea of what we liked, she scoped out a few and only had us visit the ones she thought may work for us.
Once we decided to move forward, Jose Gamero, the owner, did most of the paperwork. There is a lawyer that works for the company who does a lot of the legal documents and checks on liens and past owners, etc. I can't say this was totally stress-free, but I can imagine that having a bad real estate agent / inmobiliario could have made this a very unpleasant experience. I would suggest trying to avoid doing your final signing and paperwork in July and August in Seville. It seems like everyone is out of town, which I think is common there.
The 6th star rating is really for all the help since we purchased the apartment. Jose has taken the time to arrange workmen to come and do some flooring and painting, and has made sure everything was smoothly communicated with our neighbors. He's really been terrific. Real estate agents in the US would have been long gone after they got their commission. If you are looking for a responsible, honest, English speaking inmobiliario in Sevilla, we can strongly recommend Jose Gamero at Sevilla 2000.
