Hi ladies,

Does anyone know if you need to use a real estate agent out here to buy a villa or you can go direct to an owner? We would REALLY love to cut out the extortionate real estate agent fees!

Thanks in advance x

No, no need. The owner will have all documents needed for you and he/they can help you with all details. Some things even are faster if done by the owner and you at the same time :) Are you dealing with a person or company? Makes a big difference. <em>edited by mpp_jl on 20/03/2012</em>

you do not need a real estate agent to buy a property, if you are able to draw up the MOU yourselves, and then take it to the land dept and the developer etc, you wont need them at all.
