Selling In Gran Canaria: Exclusivity Means You Only Get Pestered By One Agent
I’ve written before about the benefits of using one estate agent to handle the sale of your Gran Canaria property via an exclusive contract.
But somehow, I’ve never managed to explain it in a few words (until now).
Exclusivity means…
- You only get pestered by the estate agent you choose, rather than by lots of people you don’t know.
- All the island’s agents work to sell your property, but your agent is in charge of the whole process; marketing, viewings, paperwork, contracts, etc.
- Your chosen agent is there to look after your interests.
An exclusive contract with a good Gran Canaria agent means that you have complete control over the selling process.
Working exclusively with a good agent gives you the best possible chance of selling promptly and at the best possible price.

2019: The Year Of New Build Property In Las Palmas
Now that Gran Canaria property prices have risen for several years, new build property in Las Palmas is becoming far more common.
