You live in another country. You own a house in Altea. You want to sell it. Sounds easy. But it's not.
Not being physically present means every step —from listing to signing— becomes slower, more confusing, and much more stressful. Many owners underestimate the effort required to manage a remote real estate sale. They list on generic portals. They receive unqualified viewings. They face legal documents in Spanish they don't understand. And meanwhile, the property depreciates.
The result? A sale that could have closed in 90 days drags on for 8 months. And it closes for less than it's worth.
The cause? They tried to do it alone. From afar.
Think of it this way: if you had to perform your own appendectomy with a YouTube manual, would you?
That's what many do when they try to sell a property without professional help. They do it without a safety net, without guidance, and without real knowledge of the local market.
With an agency like Costa Blanca Investments, everything changes.
They not only know every meter of Altea (from Altea Hills to Alfaz del Pi), they also understand the specific regulations, taxes, and legal procedures for foreign owners. And even more importantly: they have real buyers waiting.
An agency with an international network, a multilingual team, and experience in luxury properties not only speeds up the process: it makes it profitable, secure, and stress-free.
Here are 3 simple steps to sell your property in Altea, wherever you are:
Contact an agency with international experience. Make sure they speak your language, know the local market, and can act on your behalf seamlessly.
Request a realistic valuation. It's not about inflating figures to look good, but about analyzing comparables, market trends, and the ideal buyer's motivations.
Delegate with confidence. The agency will handle photos, marketing, viewings, financial vetting, negotiation, and legal closing. You only approve key decisions.
For example, Costa Blanca Investments assigns you a personal manager who keeps you informed step-by-step, whether you're in London, Berlin, or Montreal.
Real estate marketing isn't just about uploading photos. It's a strategic campaign.
Properties in Altea sell best when presented as a Mediterranean lifestyle experience. This means high-quality photographs, immersive videos, and texts that connect with the buyer's desired lifestyle.
Costa Blanca Investments not only lists on leading portals. They also work with their database of qualified investors and buyers looking for properties like yours. While you're having breakfast in Brussels, they're showing your house to a Swedish buyer ready to sign.
The result? Real offers. Viewings that matter. Quick closings.
There are three common mistakes you should avoid at all costs:
Overpricing the property. If you ask for €50,000 more than it's worth, you won't look smarter. You'll scare away all serious buyers. Properties that don't move in the first 60 days lose traction and end up with more aggressive discounts.
Answering inquiries yourself. Every call is an opportunity... or a distraction. Without professional filtering, you'll waste time on curious onlookers and non-solvent buyers.
Letting "time decide." In the real estate market, time is the enemy. The longer a property remains unsold, the more power the buyer gains.
Therefore, delegating to an effective agency is not a luxury option. It's a strategic necessity.
Not sure who to work with? Use this quick template to filter:
Do they really know Altea or do they just say so? (Ask for concrete examples)
Do they have registered international buyers? How many?
Do they assign you a multilingual manager?
Do they explain the taxes you'll pay as a non-resident?
Do they offer a clear marketing plan, not just "we'll list it"?
Do they send you weekly activity reports or leave you hanging?
If you can't confidently say "yes" to these questions, keep looking.
Most real estate agencies sell properties.
